Question

In more of a negative way actually. More reffering to imperialism. I very much appreciate your answers, but webpages would do me the best. I have to include this into my bibliography for my assignment and such...and NO wikipedia please. Thank you.

Yes, this is a redo of my previous question. Since the other one was not clear. I more clearly mean how has the US ever manipulated and treated Korea unfairly and what not. I think you get it.

Okay, I guess I'm still not clear.

Answer 2

Here is a piece of this site...

"On August 8th, 1945 the Soviet Union declared war on Japan, and on the following day, they landed in North Korea. The Americans did not land on Korea until September 8th, 1945. The Soviet Union stayed north of the 38th parallel, like they agreed to do. However, by the time the Americans landed in Korea, the Soviet Union was well under way developing a Communist government in North Korea.

Communist influence was not restricted to the Northern half of the island. In the last of year of the war, a Committee for the Preparation of Korean Independence (CPKI) was created to oppose Japanese rule. The Communist Party dominated. Soon ideas of Communism as a way to stop Japanese rule. Soon guerrilla warfare broke out. It is estimated that approximately 100,000 people died between the end of World War II, and the start of the Korean War in South Korea.

The United Nations declared that the government of South Korea, established by the means of a free election was the only legitimate government of Korea. The Soviet Union refused to accept the declaration of the United Nations, and on October 12th 1948, declared the People's Democratic Republic of Korea (North Korea) to be the only legitimate government. Tensions mounted.

On June 25th, 1950, the powder keg exploded. North Korea, with the backing of the Soviet Union, attacked South Korea. The United States quickly moved to get United Nations condemnation of the attack. The Security Council voted 9 to 0 for an immediate cease-fire and the withdrawal of all forces to the 38th parallel. Simultaneously, President Truman ordered General MacArthur, the Supreme Allied Commander in the Pacific, to evacuate American citizens from South Korea, and to provide naval and air support to South Korea south of the 38th parallel."
