Why Korea Split Into North and South Korea

A video explaining why the country of Korea split into two different countries: North Korea and South Korea.

[@747lalit]

Don't u think usa is messing with every country for no reason?

[@roundmaster2418]

Well not for no reason exactly but more like no GOOD reason.

[@johngriza3872]

yea they continue what England used to do

[@arthurlecomte8950]

The only reason is money.

[@rajabisnis]

right.. because their wars is very profitable. Have you seen their military expenses for their overseas operation? if USA is a businessman, he's a very very badd businessman use your brain, none of their wars nowadays make 'profit', let alone profit any 'money' they got can't even cover a portion of their war cost

[@rajabisnis]

there you go, another oversimplified statement. no reason? sure, because the US led coalition (yes coalition, which unfortunately many blind sheeps can't differentiate and always mention US only), pushing back isis is for no reason and about this particular video? south and north korea, no good reason? sure, because a communist regime is always better eh? thats why north korea is way more prosperous than south korea, look at how prosperous the nation is under the almighty kim jong un wake up, yes those were proxy wars, but lets face it, US or the western values are way better than the other proxy has to offer. Its rather funny for you to bash them for keeping the universal values they adopt (freedom, liberty, democracy) than mentioning about the reppressive communist soviet influence. Have you ever look at how 'happy' the eastern europeans and other communist regime nations under soviet influence are? north korea and south korea is a good example. west europe and east europe post ww2 is another good example think again

In conclusion: Korea was seperated into two nations because of U.S.A and Soviet Union (Russia)'s fight.

[@pyetrovi8926]

[@carlosgarza31]

What did you expect the US to put up with the USSR allowing the north to overrun the south?

[@andrewgee4101]

Wrong. They were split into two nations because of a power vacuum that formed after Japanese occupation. Two countries formed out of the ashes with the Soviets influencing the north into a communist state and the US mostly ignoring Korea until the Soviet-backed leader of North Korea, Kim Il-sung, decides to invade South Korea.

Thank you for taking the time to do this video which I found to be both informative and entertaining.

[@39thala]

This guy is trying to indirectly blame the US for the Korean war BUT he misses one point (which he briefly mentions but apparently doesn't count) And that is, North Korea INVADED the south. The US backed south had NO intention of ever invading the north. So, regardless of all your rhetoric about the cold war and the US and Russia, the fact remains, if the invasion hadn't have happened, no war would have occurred. It was the intention of Communists to expand. After all, the division of Korea into North and south was mutually agreed upon by the US & Russia after WWII, because as you mentioned, once the Japanese were out of the picture, Korea basically had no government body to take over. It was essential that the US and Russia set up and help build the governments in those areas since they are basically the ones that liberated Korea from Japan. The alternative would have been to do just as you described in Afghanistan, just leave them high and dry. And as you pointed out, at that time, the US and Russia were still allies. But once communism in Russia got rolling, the US was content to leave the north alone as long as they didn't have plans to invade the south. But ultimately, North Korea (And Stalin) are to blame because they invaded first. No invasion,...no war. That simple. It was the same with Vietnam and Ho Chi Min. If he had just stayed in the north and left the south alone, no war would have occurred. But again, he had the backing of Russia and Red China who were trying to spread communism throughout Asia. They succeeded in doing that with South Vietnam. But they failed with South Korea even though as you say, they are 'technically' still at war. But that window of Communism and North Korea ever successfully taking over South Korea is gone for good.

[@WonderWhy]

39thala I am in no way blaming the US for the Korean War, I don't know where you got that from.

[@39thala]

WonderWhy Well, then maybe I misunderstand what you say at 0:22 when you say the 'Split' had "more to do with the cold War" between US and Russia. But then at 1:45 you mentioned, the division of the Korean Peninsula happened directly at the end of WWII in 1945 "before the cold war". (North Korea was established Aug 15, 1945.) Russia and the US were still allies at that point and time. The cold war really didn't get it's first phase started until about two years after WWII and thereby after the initial 'split' of Korea. Russia started it's campaign to spread Communism. That of course resulted in Mao Tse-tung launching and winning 'his' Communist Revolution and establishing The People's Republic of China in 1949. And then soon after, Kim Il-Sung (Who was hand picked by the Soviets to be the leader of North Korea) launched his the invasion into the South in 1950. The US did not Provoke any of those Revolutions or invasions. And in fact, the Communist parties of both China and Korea had already existed long before the cold war or the beginning of WWII. In 1931 Kim IL-Sung had 'already' joined the Communist Party of China. (The Communist Party of Korea actually had been founded in 1925, but had been thrown out in the early 1930s for being too nationalist). But if you're saying you're intent was not to blame the US directly or indirectly then I retract that conclusion. Cheers.

[@uzik201]

39thala uuyuguyjghu

[@39thala]

Muhun Kang Nope! The split of Korea at the end of WWII was a result of the US and Russia ending Japan's 35 year rule of the penninsula and agreeing to 'temporarily' occupy the country as a 'trusteeship' with boundaries between their respective areas at the 38th parallel. The purpose of a trusteeship was to eventually establish a "free and independent" Korean provisional government as set forth in the Cairo Conference. Once the elections were scheduled, the Soviet Union 'REFUSED' to cooperate with United Nations plans to hold general and free elections in both of the two Korean zones. So, when you say this percentage of Koreans voted this way and that percentage voted that way, you are just wrong because in fact, elections never were actually held!!!!!! And as a result, Russia set up a 'permanent Communist government in the North. So, it was Russia's decision that determined ultimately what was to come!!!!!! NOT the United States of America! And of course, as a result of Russia's actions in the north, a pro-Western state was set up in the south. And the rest as they say....is history!

[@39thala]

Muhun Kang First you say they voted, then you say a poll was taken. They are two different things. And because you've contradicted yourself, the probability is, you don't know your facts, but rather you are desperately attempting to shed the US in a bad light on the event because of your own apparent bias towards the US to begin with. Which is boringly typical in this day and age. Regardless, read my post again. It's pretty straightforward and...A FACT! "Once the elections were scheduled, the Soviet Union 'REFUSED' to cooperate with United Nations plans to hold general and free elections in both of the two Korean zones." Elections never had a chance from that point on. And 'That' my friend is the bottom line and what it all comes down to in regards to 'who' is responsible for the way things ended up! No ifs, ands, or buts about it or beating around the bush with petty arguments as you are trying to do. Accept it, it's history, it's what happened and you can't debate or reason it into being something else. End of story. And the generations of North Koreans to come after that have sadly endured the consequences of Russia's decision for 64 long years

[@Octavus5]

No, no, no... Why was Korea split? Because the US, for its own design and interests (namely, the Cold War, Japan), desired a divided Korea. The division was NOT a co-decision by the US and Russia. It was a one-sided decision sans consultation from the Korean people and international community. Ironically, it was the North that fell under a _popular_, socialist regime. While in the South, the US installed an _unpopular_, pro-US regime (police state), WITHOUT the consent of the Korean people. Moreover, the bureaucracy of South Korea was composed of former Japanese traitors and collaborators (per the expedience of Washington). In the North, however, the regime cleansed government bureaucracies of former Japanese sympathizers. Furthermore, both Koreas were itching to start a fight. It is simplistic to state that North Korea invaded an unaware South. There had been border clashes for years prior to the "official" outset of the Korean war. The bottom line is this: Korea was an innocent party that was not only colonized/brutalized by Japan (with US consent and imprimatur) but was divided and victimized _again_ following the end of WWII as a result of Washington's foreign policy decision. The US installed a puppet police state in the South and only after decades of grass-roots efforts did the ROK gain true democracy. But this was a victory won WITHOUT the aid of Washington which desired a compliant S. Korea, not an unruly democracy. In the North, what started out as a government by the people, for the people, and established with the acquiescence of the people, has sadly entrenched itself as an authoritarian regime that no longer serves the North Korean people. However, it cannot be overstated that the plight of North Korea is aggravated and exacerbated by hostile US foreign policies now going on over 60 years, including sanctions and military threats, and refusal by Washington to formally end the Korean War or agree to a non-aggression pact. North Korea remains in a time-warp because in large part Washington's foreign policy against it is stuck in the Cold War. And it seems the US has little reason to change insofar as the North plays a useful bogeyman in its Asian foreign policy.

[@americanliberal09]

But South Korea is a free capitalist country, whereas North Korea wasn't.........are you trying to say that communist dictatorship is better?

[@Octavus5]

americanliberal09 No, I wasn't trying to say that at all. Please re-read. The main point is that history is more complex and ironic than we've been told.

[@americanliberal09]

Octavus5 Oh, o.k........so, are you telling that majority of the Koreans wanted to become communists? Really?

[@Octavus5]

Poor peasants don't think in terms of ideologies. They just want to eat. And "socialism" appealed to them just as it tends to appeal to most poor people around the world. What Korean people desired above all was independence. And the US didn't give Korea independence but division and a puppet S. Korean government that served Washington's interests. Even worse, it was a police state to boot with the familiar trapping from the Japanese colonial era. SKorea is a thriving democracy today but it was birthed in shame. And the Korean people in toto have yet to untether themselves from the legacy of the Cold War and division -- thanks in no small part to continuing US foreign policy.

Surprisingly, there is quite a bit of economic trade between North and South Korea. You would think that two countries at "war" would not trade with each other. The two countries are pretty much as peace for the most part. China is the biggest influence on North Korea - it also happens to be its largest trading partner, it will continue to open up North Korea to foreign investment and economic growth.

[@No-oneInParticular]

Great video! Seems somewhat more likely that USA and USSR wouldn't fight each other because they had a perfect agreement to become filthy rich by endlessly supplying weapons to poor countries, and then swooping in to take the rest of the land and resources when they've killed each other. Destabilising the middle east wasn't a mistake, it was the goal haha then, by having them come back and declare war on the USA, it's a repeating cycle for the military industrial complex that means all three facets (big oil, construction, and weapons manufacturing) continuously make money hand over fist. In turn, a fear culture can be propagated into their own countries and a tighter hold and control can be had over the population there, leaving them with no alternative but to, for example, give more taxes the poorer you are, and cut the taxes for the rich. The poor get squeezed out of society as inflation rises disproportionately to living wages, and things like healthcare and education get sold off to richer people who privatize them. This privatisation leads to poor people either dying, or taking out a loan and putting themselves in debt to banks that are part of the same collective of people who privatised the healthcare (so they're in cahoots?!) Keeping all this extreme riches in the top 1% ensures that the 1% have a 99% of the human population to feed off of while they parasitically drain the spirit until they can distract the 99% with shiny things or cool gadgets and get them to walk around like zombies, perhaps having them stare into a hypnotising device that tracks them or shares all their personal data...some kind of screen maybe? I dunno, something anyway that means the 99% feel really isolated and disconnected from one another so that the 99% don't realise the power they actually have. OR! It is all just a coincidence and the governments really do have your best interests at heart and don't care about the money. :) either way, or a third. It's your life.

One of the reasons why some Koreans don’t like US is bc the US is the one who divided Korea. Koreans feel that a great injustice has been done to them by US. Koreans feel that it should have been Japan that should have been divided instead of Korea since Japan was the one that started the pacific war. Koreans feel that they have been penalized for Japans wrong doing. I think it’s a legitimate grievance.

The death toll of civilians in the Korean War, which began with North Korea's invasion to South Korea on June 25, 1950, is estimated to exceed at least 2 million. North Korea has not apologized or compensated at all. The most tragic event on the Korean Peninsula over the last 100 years has been the Korean War.

[@주겨벌랑]

[@nvizible]

Why should they apologize? They were fighting for the Korean people against first japan, then the US and dictator Rhee

David Harrison So just fuck south Koreans? If Norks don't want to help themselves that's fine, but you can't say that South Korea would have been better off under Japanese imperial control. And they would know, the Irish knew after 100's of Years. Stop being ignorant you can't repress a culture because some conflict might come of letting it thrive. Better to fight a long and bloody war for true freedom than have peace under another peoples government.

[@daveharrison84]

If Korea remained part of Japan after World War 2, and then many years later if the Korean people still felt like they should be an independent country, then Korea could have declared independence from Japan on its own terms. Lots of countries became independent by breaking away from other countries in the last 60 years.

[@nilloc93]

So you would recommend that the Korean people broke away from Japan in a bloody war in the past 50 years instead of (the southern half) having a peaceful creation hindered only by the soviets, who always wanted a peace of the action in Korea and there was no guarantee of the Soviets not fucking with Korea while Japan controlled it (I remind you that the Soviets were gearing up to invade Japan before the A-bomb was dropped)

Communism means "Community", everybody sharing and working together for the common good, it doesn't work because humans are generally greedy As*holes. but there were small pockets where true communism thrived, Italy in the 1920s for example.
