DuringWorldWarII,thethenPresidentoftheUnitedStatesRooseveltandChairmanoftheCouncilofMinistersoftheSovietUnionStalinagreedattheTehranConferencetoplacetheJapanesecolony,theKoreanPeninsula,in"Whenappropriate,independenceshouldbeachieved.BetweenFebruary4andFebruary11,1945,theheadsoftheUnitedStates,theSovietUnionandBritain,Roosevelt,Churchill,andStalinsignedasecretagreementinYaltaontheCrimeanPeninsulaoftheSovietUnion.ThemeetingdecidedthattheUnitedStates,theSovietUnion,andChina(theKuomintanggovernment)AndtheUnitedKingdomimplementinternationaltrusteeship.AttheYaltaConference,StalinonceaskedUSPresidentRooseveltwhatforeigntroopswouldenterNorthKorea,butRooseveltansweredno.

OnAugust9,1945,ontheeveofJapan’sdefeatandsurrender,theUnitedStatesproposedtotakethe38thparallel,the38thparallel,astheboundary,andtheUnitedStatesandtheSovietUniontooccupythesouthernandnorthernpartsoftheKoreanPeninsularespectively.ItwasrecognizedbytheSovietUnion.ThisevolvedintothefusethatledtothedivisionoftheNorthandSouthcampsontheKoreanPeninsula.

OnDecember29,1945,theU.S.MilitaryandGovernmentOfficeannouncedthe"MoscowAgreementontheTrusteeshipoftheKoreanPeninsulaandtheEstablishmentoftheProvisionalDemocraticGovernmentoftheKoreanPeninsula,signedbythemeetingofforeignministersoftheUnitedStates,Britain,andtheSovietUniononDecember27.".

ThefoundingoftheNorthandtheSouth

Atthistime,boththeNorthKoreanpeopleintheSouthandtheNorthlaunchedanationalistmovement(includingthe"anti-trust"movement)andadvocatedtheestablishmentofawholepeninsula.TheunifiedNorthKoreansownpower.OutoftheneedsoftheColdWar,theUnitedStatesandtheSovietUnionalsoboldlycleaneduptheoppositionwithintheirspheresofinfluence.

Inthesouth,theleft-wingdemocraticfactionLuYunhengwasassassinatedinJuly1947,andthatfactionceasedtoexistasapoliticalforce.ThecommunistpartiesontheKoreanpeninsulawereonceunitedforreconstructionaftertheliberation,butundertheattackoftheU.S.occupyingforcesandright-wingforces,thespacefortheiractivitiesbecamesmallerandsmaller.OnMay8,1946,theU.S.occupationauthoritiesusedthe"premiumcounterfeitcurrencyincident"asanexcuse.,Thelegitimacyofleft-wingpartiessuchastheSouthKoreanCommunistPartywasabolished.In1947,themainleadersoftheSouthKoreanCommunistPartyfledtothenorth,anditsinfluenceinSouthKoreadisappeared.SongZhenyu,aleaderoftheright-wingDemocraticParty,wasassassinatedinDecember1945becauseheclaimedtocooperatewiththegovernment’strusteeship.Sinceheisinfavorofhosting).AlthoughJinGu’s“pro-politicalfaction”waswidelysupportedatonetime,heconspiredtoseizecontroloftheSouthKoreanpoliceandwasdefeated.SotheUSgovernmentexcludedhimasanationalist,andwaslaterassassinatedbythefar-rightpoliceman,AhnDoo-hee.;Therefore,iftheUnitedStateswantstofosteraspokespersonwhoisinclinedtotheUSgovernment,itcanonlybetheRheeChengmanGroup.

Asthetwocountriescontinuetocultivatetheirownforces,theUS-SovietJointCommissionwasunabletoreachanagreementonhowtoorganizeaunifiedelectionontheKoreanPeninsula.TheUnitedStatesaccusestheSovietUnionofsuppressingright-wingpartiesandoppositionpartiesintheNorth,whiletheSovietUnionaccusestheUnitedStatesoffalsifyingelectionissues.Inviewofthis,onSeptember17,1947,theUnitedStatessubmittedtheKoreanPeninsulaissuetotheUnitedNations.AdvocatethattheUnitedNationssetupaUnitedNationsinterimcommitteeontheKoreanPeninsula,responsibleforobservingandsupervisingthegeneralelectionsheldinNorthandSouthKorea,andformingtheNationalAssemblyfortheentireKoreanPeninsula.TheNationalAssemblywillthenconveneameetingtoestablishanationalgovernment.OnOctober31,theUnitedStatesevadedtheSecurityCouncilanddirectlysubmittedtheproposaltotheUnitedNationsGeneralAssembly.AlthoughtheUnitedStateshadopposedtheSovietUnion’s“callingpower”atthetime,thePoliticalCommitteeoftheUnitedNationsGeneralAssemblypassedtheUSproposalbyvoting.

The"UnitedNationsInterimCommitteeforSouthKorea"(UNTCOK)isformedby9countriesexcludingtheUnitedStatesandtheSovietUniontooverseetheestablishmentoftheentireKoreanparliamentandelectaunifiedgovernment.InJanuary1948,IndianrepresentativeMenonledtheUNcommitteetoNorthKoreatoarrangeunifiedelectionaffairs.TheSovietUnionbannedsuchelectionsinNorthKoreaanddidnotallowentryofUnitedNationspersonnel.TheyhadtoreturnafteraninspectioninSeoul.OnFebruary26,1948,theInterimCommitteeoftheUnitedNationsGeneralAssemblypassedaresolution:"AllowNorthKoreanstocontinueelectionswhereverpossible."

OnMay10,1948,theUnitedStatesmilitaryandpolicestrictlyguardedandUndersupervision,SouthKorea(laterSouthKorea)heldseparateelections.Accordingtostatisticsaftertheclosingofpollingplacesonthenightofthe10th,morethan85%ofthe8millionvotersinSouthKoreaparticipatedintheelection.TheresultoftheelectionwasthatRheeSeungmanbecamethefirstpresidentoftheRepublicofKoreawithaslightlysuperioradvantage.InAugustandSeptember1948,theRepublicofKorea(RepublicofKorea)governmentandtheDemocraticPeople’sRepublicofKoreawereestablishedintheNorthandSouthregionsofKorea.InOctober,theSovietUnionhandedovertheadministrativepowernorthofthe38thparalleltotheKoreanpeople,andinDecemberalltheSoviettroopswithdrew.Sixmonthslater,theUSmilitaryalsoannounceditswithdrawalfromthesouth,butcivilianofficialsandthe"militaryadvisorygroup"wereleftbehind.TheterritoryandnationoftheKoreanpeninsulaweredivided,andthetraffic,telecommunications,andexchangesofpersonnelandmaterialsonbothsidesofthe38thlinewerecutoff.Atthattime,thetotalpopulationoftheKoreanpeninsulawas30million,about21millionpeoplesouthofthe38thparallel,and9millionpeoplenorthofthe38thparallel.Thenorthandthesoutheachaccountedfor56%and44%ofthetotalareaof​​theKoreanpeninsula.OnJune25,1950,theNorthandSouthhadamilitaryconflictnearthe38thparallel,andtheKoreanWarthatlastedforthreeyearsbrokeout.

AtdawnonJune25,1950,thewarbrokeout.NorthKoreaclaimedthat"SouthKorea’sRheeSeungman’sarmycrossedthe38thParallelandattackednorthwardandlaunchedasurpriseattackontheDemocraticPeople’sRepublicofKorea.TheUSPatrioticWar".AfterthedisintegrationoftheSovietUnion,withthereleaseofthearchivesoftheformerSovietUnion,historianswidelyrecognizedthatat4a.m.onJune25,1950,afterobtainingStalin’sconsent,theNorthKoreanCabinetPrimeMinisterKimIlSungorderedthearmytocrossthe38thlineandlaunchedanattackagainstSouthKorea.Thesuddenattack.Asforthecheeringfalsereportthat"theKoreanarmycounterattackedtheoccupationofHaizhou"ontheseconddayofthewar,itwasclarifiedandretractedbytheSouthKoreangovernmentatthattime.

SincemostoftheKoreanDefenseForceshadnotyetenteredthestateofcombatreadinessatthattime,theyhadnoabilitytoparry.Threedayslater,onJune27,1950,Seoul(nowSeoul)wasdefeated.Duringtheretreat,theSouthKoreanhigh-levelleaderspanickedandblewuptheHanRiverBridgeandsentalargenumberoftroopstoNorthKorea,whichquicklydismantledtheresistanceoftheSouthKoreanarmy.

ItisworthpointingoutthatKimIlSungdidnotinformChinainadvanceofthedetailedcombatplanandthespecificdateofthewar.Therefore,mainlandChina,liketheUnitedStates,didnotlearnaboutituntilthebeginningofthewar.Thiscanalsobecalledaunilateral"undeclaredwar"byNorthKoreainthetruesense.

OnJune26,1950,USPresidentTrumanorderedtheUSFarEastAirForcestationedinJapantoassistSouthKoreaincombat.Onthe27th,heagainorderedtheUSSeventhFleettoenterthetwoportsofKeelungandKaohsiungtopatroltheTaiwanStrait.PreventthePeople'sLiberationArmyfromliberatingTaiwan.TheU.S.representativetotheUnitedNationsalsosubmittedamotiontotheSecurityCouncil.InthecasethattheSovietrepresentativewasabsentduetoprotestsagainstthecontinuedoccupationoftheseatoftheChineserepresentativebytheTaiwanKuomintanggovernmentsinceJanuary1950,itwas13:1(Yugoslaviavotedagainstit).Thenextmotionwaspassed,butafterthedisintegrationoftheSovietUnion,followingthereleaseoftheSovietarchives,whentheKoreanWarbrokeoutonJune25,theSovietambassadortotheUnitedNationssuggestedtoStalinthatSovietrepresentativesshouldreturntotheSecurityCouncilbeforetheendofJuneinordertoexercisetheirvetopower.HeopposedtheadoptionofaUNresolutionthatwasnotconducivetoNorthKorea,butitwasrejectedbyStalin.ThisenabledtheUnitedNationstosuccessfullypasstheabovethreeresolutionsonthecompositionofthe"UnitedNationsArmy".The"UnitedNationsArmy"isdominatedbytheUSmilitary,and15othercountrieshavealsosentasmallnumberoftroopstothewar.ThedefenseforcesoftheUnitedKingdom,Turkey,Canada,Thailand,NewZealand,Australia,theNetherlands,France,thePhilippines,Greece,Belgium,Colombia,Ethiopia,Luxembourg,SouthAfricaandSouthKoreaareallunderthecommandoftheUSFarEastArmystationedinJapan.CommanderoftheUSFarEastArmy.OnJuly5th,theUSmilitaryparticipatedinthefirstbattleagainstNorthKorea.

Intheearlydaysofthewar,theNorthKoreanarmywasvictorious:seizedSeoulonJune28;occupiedDaejeononJuly20;occupiedMokpoonJuly24;andoccupiedJinjuonJuly31.TheKoreanNationalDefenseForcesandtheU.S.forceshavebeenforcedtoretreattoBusan.Atthistime,the25thDivisionoftheUSArmyreceivedtheordertodefendthesouthernlineofdefenseandcouldnotretreat.TheKoreanPeople'sArmyhasoccupied90%ofthelandand92%ofthepopulationontheKoreanPeninsula.OnAugust6,GeneralMikeArthurmetwithotherseniormilitaryofficersinTokyoandpersuadedotherstoimplementtheriskyIncheonlandingplan.

OnSeptember15,1950,MacArthurboardedtheflagshipMountMcKinleyandpersonallysupervisedthebattle.Underthecoverofmorethan300warshipsandmorethan500aircraftintheUnitedStatesandBritain,theUSTenthArmysuccessfullylandedinIncheon.,RaidedfromtherearoftheNorthKoreanarmy,cutoffthewaistlineoftheKoreanpeninsula,andquicklyregainedthePortofIncheonandnearbyislands.OnSeptember22,1950,the"UnitedNationsforces"thatretreatedtotheBusanringdefensivecircletookadvantageofthemomentumtocounterattack.OnSeptember27,1950,theIncheonlandingforceandtheBusanforcenearSuwonmetandregainedSeoulonedaylater.

TheoriginalplanoftheUnitedStatestodrivetheNorthKoreanarmybacknorthofthe38thparallelhaschangedduetotheextremelysmoothprogressofthewar.GeneralMacArthuraskedtotakeadvantageofthemomentumtochaseanddrivecommunismoutoftheentireKoreanpeninsula.OnSeptember27,1950,boththeUSJointChiefsofStaffandPresidentTrumanagreedtoMacArthur'sproposal,butthePresidentaskedMacArthurtoattackNorthKoreaonlyifChinaandtheSovietUnionwouldnotparticipateinthewar.Thenextday,UStroopsapproachedthe38thparallel,andonOctober1,1950,SouthKorea'sfirstbatchoftroopsfinallyenteredNorthKoreatofight.

China'sparticipationinthewar

BeforetheoutbreakoftheKoreanWar,ChinatransferredtheKoreantroopsoftheFourthFieldArmytoNorthKoreaasadivisionattherequestofKimIlSung.AttheendofMay1950,KimIl-sungsentsecretenvoystoBeijing,butChairmanMaoZedongexpressedhisconcernabouttheUnitedStates’participationinthewar.AfterthewarbrokeoutandbeforethelandinginIncheon,herepeatedlyremindedKimIl-sungandtheKoreanPeople’sArmythatIncheonwouldbeLandinglocationintheUnitedStates.AftertheoutbreakoftheKoreanWar,ChinaestablishedtheNortheastFrontierDefenseForceonJuly13,1950,andtransferred4troopsandartilleryunitsfromHenanProvincetothenortheasttostrengthenborderdefense.OnAugust5,MaoZedongtelegraphedtheleadershipoftheNortheastFrontierDefenseArmy,requestingthatthepreparationsforcombatbecompletedbytheendofAugustandthattheycanbedispatchedtoNorthKoreatoparticipateinthewarinearlySeptember.Atthistime,theKoreanPeople'sArmywasstillfightingalongtheNakdongRiverinSouthKorea,andthe"UnitedNationsArmy"onlyguardedasmallareaof​​theBusanDefenseCircle(only3%oftheterritoryoftheKoreanPeninsula).

AfterIncheonlanded,thesituationontheKoreanpeninsulareversed.TheChinesegovernmentbroadcastswarningstotheUnitedStatesalmosteverydaythatifitcrossesthe38thparallel,Chinawillsendtroops.OnSeptember30,PremierZhouEnlaideliveredatoughspeechattheNationalDaymeetingoftheCPPCC:"TheChinesepeoplemustnottolerateforeignaggression,norcantheyallowimperialismtoignorethewantonaggressionofitsneighbors."IntheearlymorningofOctober3,1950,beforeAmericantroopsenteredthenorthernpartoftheKoreanpeninsulaonalargescale,ZhouEnlaisummonedIndianAmbassadortoChinaPannijaandaskedhimtotelltheUSgovernment:"IftheUSforcescrossthe38thlineandinvadeNorthKorea,wewillnotsitidlyby."ThiswarningwasregardedbyTrumanasChina's"diplomaticblackmail"againsttheUnitedNationsandwasnottakenseriously.

AlthoughChinahasmadeastrongstatement,theinternalopinionsofthetopleadersareinconsistent,andmostofthemtendnottoparticipateinthewar,becauseChinahasgonethroughmanyyearsofwarandiswaitingtoberevived.Beinginvolvedinthiswarisnotgoodforthecountry'sdevelopment.ThedeclassifiedfilesoftheformerSovietUnionindicatethatStalin,astheheadofthesocialistcamp,instructedtheCCPtosendtroopstointervene,butuntilthebeginningofOctober,theChinesegovernmentstillfailedtomakeafinaldecisiononwhethertoparticipateinthewar.ZhouEnlairushedtoMoscowtodiscusstheissueofparticipationinthewarwiththeSovietside.OnOctober4,1950,PengDehuai,chairmanoftheNorthwestMilitaryandPoliticalCommitteeofChina,wasorderedtoarriveinBeijingtodiscusstheKoreanissue.ItwasonlyattheenlargedmeetingofthePoliticalBureauoftheCPCCentralCommitteeonOctober8,1950thathefinallydecidedtointerveneintheKoreanWar.ThedirectreasonfortheChinesegovernment'sdecisionwasthattheUSplanebombedChina'sAnton(nowDandong,Liaoning),andChina'sterritorialsecuritywasseriouslythreatened.IfNorthKoreaisoccupied,itwilldirectlythreatenChina'snationalinterests.EveniftheUSmilitarydoesnotattackChina,acountrywithaborderofmorethan1,000kilometerswithChinawillfallintothecapitalistcamp,whichisagreatthreattoChina.Atthesametime,theentryoftheUSmilitaryintotheTaiwanStraitforcedChinatosuspendthewarofcrossingtheseaagainstTaiwan,makingChinadirectlyfeelthethreatfromtheUnitedStates.Basedonthesereasons,theChinesegovernmentfinallydecidedtosendtroopstotheKoreanPeninsulatofightagainstthe"UnitedNationsArmy."

Afterthedecisionwasmade,MaoZedongandZhouEnlaistudiedtheissueofsendingtroopsunderwhatname,andinitiallydraftedthenameofthe"supportarmy."HuangYanpeibelievesthatsupportingthearmyissentout,anditiseasyfortheinternationalcommunitytothinkthatChinahasdeclaredwarontheUnitedStates.Therefore,itwaschangedtotheChinesePeople'sVolunteerArmyandusedacompletelydifferentdesignationtoindicatethatitwasnotChinathatdeclaredwarwiththeUnitedStates,butthatthepeoplevolunteeredtosupportNorthKorea.Intheearlydaysofthewar,thisnamemadethe"UnitedNationsArmy"mistakenlythoughtitwasjustasmallteamofvolunteers.Later,the"UnitedNationsArmy"figuredoutthattheChinesePeople'sVolunteerswereformedandregulartroops,butafterusingacompletelydifferentdesignation,theywerealsowillingtorecognizethename"Volunteers"inordertolimitthewartotheKoreanPeninsulaandavoidescalation.
