The Liberation of Yeolcheon was fought between the Allied forced led mainly by the United Kingdom, supported by Joyonghea, Zanarkand, New Akiba, and Rubrum against the Quenminese Empire. The operation was a part of a series of campaigns that would eventually push the Quenminese further into northern Joyonghea. When Incheon had fallen after the Battle of In'chon, the Allied forces continued their push north towards the border of Central Joyonghea with Northern Joyonghea. Earlier in the war, the defending Joyonghean forces declared Yeolcheon an Open city during the Fall of Yeolcheon. However, due to Prime Minister Lý Học Thao Viên's orders to defend all Quenminese conquests to the last man, Yeolcheon was heavily devastated.
The rapings and atrocities caused by the Quenminese did not stop even as the battle in the city took place. Despite it, in just 13 days, Yeolcheon was liberated and the Emperor was restored. Since then, July 12 has been celebrated in Joyonghea as Liberation Day by many of its locals.
