An interesting piece of "propaganda" (another controversial word).
"The United Nations has begun something they must finish" or words to that effect about a war that technically continues now.

from Wikipedia
"The Forgotten War" (capitalized) typically refers to:
A Memorial to the "Forgotten War" of Korea with the insignias of the United States Uniformed Services ringed around it

The Korean War (in the United States and Canada)
The Ifni War (in Spain)
The term forgotten war is also sometimes, though much less commonly and less specifically, used to refer to:

The Southern theater of the American Revolutionary War
The Philippine–American War
The War of 1812 (outside of the United States)
The First and Second Barbary Wars
The conflicts involving Finland during World War II
The Forest Brothers resistance in Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania
The Laotian Civil War (outside of Laos)
The Burma Campaign
Ukraine's forgotten war: the War in Donbass (by the rest of the world)

Not mentioned by Wiki but in Australia it is also more divisively used in relation to the initial settlement of Australia and the one sided conflicts with the locals that resulted.
