Maggiori informazioni sul libro

The essay explores the historical context of Korea's division following World War II, tracing its roots to Japan's occupation since 1910. It highlights the Soviet Union's declaration of war on Japan in 1945 and the subsequent advance into Korea, sanctioned by the Allies at the Yalta Conference. Concerns from the US about Soviet influence led to the decision to halt military operations at the 38th parallel, resulting in the creation of North Korea under Soviet control and South Korea, which remained free from Soviet military presence and was occupied by US forces.
