Its revisionist history to believe that most koreans wanted to be ruled by a communist dictatorshipDoes it matter to you a majority of Koreans never wanted the US military occupation of their country in the first place?but by 1950 we had stood down most of the WWII war machine and even foolishly publicly implied that south korea was not a vital national interest
that was like a green light for the communists to invade
United States Army Military Government in Korea - Wikipedia
"The United States Army Military Government in Korea (USAMGIK) was the official ruling body of the southern half of the Korean Peninsula from September 8, 1945 to August 15, 1948...."
"Popular discontent stemmed from the U.S. Military Government's support of the Japanese colonial government; then once removed, keeping the former Japanese governors on as advisors; by ignoring, censoring and forcibly disbanding the functional and popular People's Republic of Korea (PRK); and finally by supporting United Nations elections that divided the country.[1]"
