Contact Us EMAIL ADDRESS [email protected] WEBSITE wfwp.org Part 1:Peace and Unification Q1 [Explanation] 38th parallel was originally intended to divide up the tasks of ridding Korea of Japanese forces and maintaining administrative control of Korea during the transition. It also served to aid the US side in keeping the Soviets from completely annexing the peninsula. The 38th parallel was chosen by the US to keep Seoul within US control. Surprisingly, the Soviets agreed to the terms. There had even been discussions about giving control of Korea back to the Korean people once the Japanese were gone. However, with the looming confrontation between the US and the Soviet Union, the complete freedom of Korea became even more unlikely. The US encouraged the election of Syngman Rhee in the south and the Soviets supported the rise of Kim Il-Sung in the north. Tensions continued to mount between the US and the Soviet Union. Q1 In 1945, two days after the USA had dropped the first atomic bomb on Hiroshima, Japan, the Soviet Union declared war on Japan. Soviet troops quickly moved into the Korean Peninsula to establish administrative control over the area. Alarmed by the quick advance, the US proposed a way to divide up the Korean peninsula with the Soviet Union to help rid the area of the Japanese. Where did they establish a boundary between the Soviet and US forces? A1 Taebaek Mountain range, 38th parallel, Bukhan River, Maginot Line Q2 [Explanation] On June 25th the KPA army crossed the 38th parallel with tanks and artillery and quickly started to overrun South Korea. The southern ROK forces were not as well trained for war and quickly retreated. The North Koreans would have probably secured the entire peninsula if UN forces had not intervened. The US interest in Korea was mostly to keep Japan secure and limit the USSR’s influence. Initially, UN forces were driven back until they occupied only a small part of the peninsula in South Korea. Eventually, the UN forces were able to turn the tide and almost took control of the entire peninsula until China decided to enter the conflict when UN forces came close to the Chinese Q2 border. During the late 1940s, the two separate Korean jurisdictions were thought to be temporary by the Korean people. Unfortunately, all efforts to establish a unified government failed, as the ideologies of capitalism and communism were unbridgeable. How did the Korean war begin on June 25th, 1950? A2 ROK South Korean forces attacked North Korea, KPA North Korean forces invaded South Korea, Soviet forces started bombing Seoul, Chinese forces started building up in North Korea leading to a UN response 1 Q3 [Explanation] The Korean Armistice Agreement was between the United Nations Command, the Korean People’s Army for North Korea and the Chinese People’s Volunteer Army. The Armistice Agreement was a cease-fire to allow the sides to draft a peace treaty that was supposed to be drafted soon after the Armistice Agreement was signed.
