The Second Phase Offensive (25 November – 24 December 1950) or Second Phase Campaign (Chinese: 第二次战役; pinyin: Dìèr Cì Zhànyì) of the Korean War was an offensive by the Chinese People's Volunteer Army (PVA) against United Nations Command (U.S./UN) forces, most of which were soldiers of South Korea and the United States.
The Korean War also led to other long-lasting effects.

The start of the Korean War rendered untenable any policy that would have caused Taiwan to fall under PRC control.
