On September 6, 1945 the Korean people came together and declared a People's Republic of Korea. One single country.
On September 7, 1945, US troops landed in South Korea. US dissolved this single, unified, and Democratically elected Government.
In fact, US General keeps fascist Japanese policemen on in their part of Korea, instead of allowing control of Korea to fall into Korean hands!
Koreans protested USA keeping fascist policemen...the very next day!
Heck... even Americans were upset at this! Look at this letter to the editor sent to New York Times.
FBI files on Syngman Rhee (US backed puppet) was not in Korea between 1904-1946.
Well, as we all know, Freedom of speech is important and capitalist America never bans or curtails these freedoms... (New York Times, Sept 7, 1946)
Freeedom......
British Journalist Alan Winnington observed the Korean war. At the time, people claimed he was exaggerating ... but....
According to Alan Winnington... there is no doubt who started this war: 🇺🇸
But, he was called a traitor (even though he was British) by US News and World Report.
The Audacity.
This bizarre headline is trying very hard to make the Russians look bad. So 10 American girls landed in Korea and the Russians got them dinner and very drunk and kept on dancing with them till morning.
My favorite part of this spin is the "violent dancing"
Apparently, they danced a lot!
"Violent Dancing"
Which is the proper way to pronounce this man's name? Kim Ko or Kim Gu ? I've seen both.

In older literature, they seem to call him Kim Koo or Kim Ko. Later, it changes to Kim Go or Kim Gu
The election in South Korea was boycotted by every non-fascist party including a pretty right-winged party.

Source: CIA
All of this is sounding so...er... free and Democratic
Understanding post WW2 Korea using Star Trek analogies.
Even New York Times was baffled by how the Americans let the Japanese Fascists in US-occupied Korea keep their positions.
Look at the framing. The communists in Korea were the ones hiding in mountains for 30 years waging resistance against the Japanese.

The "patriots" were either a) collaborating with the Japanese or b)enjoying themselves in the US.
State Department Memo. Look at the date: 1944.
This is actually Kim Jong Un's grandfather Kim Il Sung in 1951.

You can see the family resemblance!
This is Park Chung Hee. He adopted the Japanese name Takgi Masao as her served in the imperial army of Japan.

He was later installed as President of ROK by the US.
Kim Il Sung and Kim Gu discussing re-unification. The US originally thought Kim Gu was a puppet. He was right-leaning. But he was also a patriot. He disobeyed the US and tried to unify Korea.

Obviously... Kim Gu got killed by a CIA trained assasin for this "sin"
Western lie: North Korea has no religious freedom.

Truth: This is Kang Lang Uk. He was a presybtarian minister and went to American missionary school. Later, while still continuing to be a minister, he served as a deputy prime minister in DPRK.
Syngman Rhee seemed to be well connected in Washington. In 1905, he was meeting with T. Roosevelt.
Looks like Syngman Rhee did the "Juan Guaido"

Why is he called the "president" when Korea is still under Japanese occupation?

Who elected him?
OSS document about the "Korean exile" groups in 1945.
Same OSS report.
I love it when US intelligence agencies tell on themselves :)
Again.. the OSS mentions Syngman Rhee's group having er... "few but influential" followers.
So all the exile groups were united in their disapproval of Syngman Rhee.
Again, this is the US intelligence that is making this claim.
Another CIA internal memo about Rhee. "Unpopular" "unreliable"
More Gems from the CIA.
So funny... even when unified and occupied by Chinese, Japanese, USA and USSR... they refer to the land as "the Hermit Kingdom"
Pay attention to these people...they later became parts of the ROK government
