Which major conflict is referred to as "the Forgotten War"?

The term "the Forgotten War" specifically refers to the Korean War. This conflict, which took place from 1950 to 1953, is often overshadowed by the more widely discussed Vietnam War and World War II. Despite its significance in the context of the Cold War and its role in establishing the divide between North and South Korea, the Korean War receives less attention in public discourse and education compared to other major conflicts. The lack of a clear victory and the fact that the war ended in an armistice rather than a formal peace treaty contribute to its perception as forgotten. This emphasis on the Korean War as "forgotten" highlights the challenges faced by veterans of the conflict in receiving recognition and acknowledgment in comparison to their counterparts from other wars.
