  • In the Late 1960S North Korean Incursions Along the DMZ Threatened to Reignite the Long Dormant Korean War by Mike Coppock
    In the late 1960s North Korean incursions along the DMZ threatened to reignite the long dormant Korean War By Mike Coppock North Korean soldiers stage a battle drill in the late 1960s, the same period their nation sent infiltrators across the DMZ into in South Korea. 33 A South Korean soldier moves forward during a firefight in Vietnam. Opposite: It was South Korea’s willingness to contribute forces to the war in Vietnam that prompted U.S. President Lyndon Johnson’s 1966 thank-you visit to Seoul. he cheering Korean crowds were enough to stop any man in his tracks—even the president of the United States. South Korea was the final layover on Lyndon Johnson’s 17-day, seven-nation tour of Asia in the fall of 1966, and he had come primarily to thank President Park Chung-hee for having committed 45,000 Korean troops to the Vietnam War effort. Johnson’s motorcade through the streets of Seoul drew an estimated 2 million spectators, with crowds 30 people deep lining the entire route. A few individuals were reportedly trampled as onlookers waved T U.S. and South Korean flags alongside homemade banners welcoming the “Texas cowboy” and wife “Bluebird” to Seoul. Ever the politician, Johnson had his driver stop the open car several times so he could shake hands with spectators en route to Seoul’s City Hall. There he gave a speech commending the people on having rebuilt their nation since the 1950–53 Korean War and proffered his thanks for joining the fight in Vietnam. Lyndon and Lady Bird then attended a state dinner in their honor followed by a program of tradi- tional Korean folk songs and dances.

  • Peace and Security on the Korean Peninsula
    Security Council Topic B: Peace and Security on the Korean Peninsula “Making peace is harder than making war.”1 -Adlai E. Stevenson The creation of two separate States in the late 1940’s, the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) and the Republic of Korea (ROK), continues to be the root cause of much of the tension on the Korean Peninsula. Since that moment and the conflict that followed, the international community seeks to stabilize the peninsula and discourage acts of aggression by both sides. However, there are still recurring instances of direct physical confrontation, continuous aggressive posturing, and, a new series of cyber-attacks. In spite of both sides having a stated goal of peace and international efforts to mediate, such tensions continue to escalate, destabilizing not only the Korean Peninsula, but the broader region as a whole. Background: Establishment of Two Koreas The Korean Peninsula continues to be divided into two separate states following WWII and the end of Japanese occupation, with a continuing presence of the United States in South Korea. Unable to agree on unification, the two halves established separate countries; the north being backed and heavily influenced by the Soviet Union and the south by the United States. In 1950, the DPRK attempted to unify the peninsula by invading the ROK and starting the Korean War, also known as the Fatherland Liberation War. The Security Council immediately adopted S/RES/82 in response, which called for the DPRK to withdraw and cease their invasion of the ROK.2 The United States came to the aid of the ROK, and the war would continue for three years, with neither side claiming victory.

  • Nationalism in the Republic of Vietnam (1954-1963)
    Contested Identities: Nationalism in the Republic of Vietnam (1954-1963) By Nu-Anh Tran A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Peter Zinoman, Chair Professor Penny Edwards Professor Kerwin Klein Spring 2013 Contested Identities: Nationalism in the Republic of Vietnam (1954-1963) Copyrighted 2013 by Nu-Anh Tran Abstract Contested Identities: Nationalism in the Republic of Vietnam (1954-1963) by Nu-Anh Tran Doctor of Philosophy in History University of California, Berkeley Professor Peter Zinoman, Chair This dissertation presents the first full-length study of anticommunist nationalism in the Republic of Vietnam (RVN, 1954-1975, or South Vietnam). Specifically, it focuses on state nationalism during the rule of Ngô Đình Diệm (1954-1963). Conventional research depicts the Vietnam War (1954-1975) as a conflict between foreign intervention and indigenous nationalism, but this interpretation conflates Vietnamese communism with Vietnamese nationalism and dismisses the possibility of nationalism in the southern Republic. Using archival and published sources from the RVN, this study demonstrates that the southern regime possessed a dynamic nationalist culture and argues that the war was part of a much longer struggle between communist and anticommunist nationalists. To emphasize the plural and factional character of nationalism in partitioned Vietnam, the study proposes the concept of contested nationalism as an alternative framework for understanding the war. The dissertation examines four elements of nationalism in the Republic: anticommunism, anticolonialism, antifeudalism, and Vietnamese ethnic identity. The first chapter argues that the government and northern émigré intellectuals established anticommunism as the central tenet of Republican nationalism during the Denounce the Communists Campaign, launched in 1955.

This division represents a tragic and anomalous chapter after a 5,000-year-long history of Korea as a unified and homogeneous nation, developing its own distinct cultural, linguistic and psychological features. No sooner had the Korean people successfully liberated themselves from Japanese colonialism in 1945 than Washington arbitrarily and artificially amputated the country into two halves, through US military and political interference.
