Korea was doing very well until taken over by Japan for 40 years. They enjoyed a bit of freedom in 1945. By then, they had a great prosperous future.
But the terrorists had a different plan for Korea. The axis of EVIL terror. The evil USA had their eyes on Korea.
At the time before independence, Truman was dealing with Stalin regarding what they should do with Korea.
Russians were sent in to invade Korea to avoid American casualties.
America, running the scene from behind took 30min to decide where they wanted to cut Korea in half. The southern zone, now South Korea was under the dictatorship of the USAMGIK (US Army Military Government in Korea).
Korean People's Republic formed against Korea's eltie. Of course, the the terrorists sided with the elite forming the Korean Democratic Party.
The KDP was not democratic at all, of course. The USA put Rhee in power. An elitist schooled in Princton with lots of American business interests. Might makes right over human rights and freedom of the Korean people.
Russian forces in North Korea supported the KPR leader, Kim. Kim had been fighting the Japanese for a long time. Eventually, many of these Japanese were recruited by the USAMGIK in the south. Next thing you know strikes are declated illegal, along with all KPR activities to free Korea from American reign.
As the months go by, we see a police state run by America's puppet, Rhee. Brutal police state installed. Rhee is provided with lots of firepower. Lots of uprising. Lots of killing of striking workers. Then some more killing. Thousands die. KNP retaliates violently at the police state. This in retaliation to the official division of Korea planned by the United States. Not the vote of the Koreans in a democracy.
KNP is deemed terrorist. Communist more specifically the going label at the time. To ween the new police state in, the US military took the background as advisors allowing Rhee to act with background support. No American casualties. Village after village scorched. Tens of thousands murdered. Tens of thousands flee to Japan. Tens of thousands are rounded up into holding facilities. Guerilla warfare escalates. The Rhee and the US conduct their "cleansing". It was illegal to be open or in any form against Rhee's dictatorship lest you be mursered.
This is just the beginning. Today, Korea is a total shithole used to "process" American goods for lots of cheap goods in the United states.
MADE IN KOREA.
MIGHT MAKES RIGHT.
DON'T SWEAT THE TECHNIQUE.
