The Korean Cold War | Part 1

HOW did Korea end up being TWO Koreas?

After World War II, amidst the celebrations, the USA, the United Nations, and the Soviet Union didn't know what to do with Korea, who they'd just freed from Japan's occupying force. Unable to come to an agreement, they decided to split the country in two: one side (the south) would be, aided by the USA and the UN; the other side (the north) would be aided by the USSR.

This... did not turn out well. Mistakes were made (on both sides), and, well, check out the video for the result...

This is my favorite video so far, my Grand Uncle was a Korean War Veteran. After surviving the Bataan Death March in the Philippines he went on to fight in Korea to fight for freedom. I never met him, but my Dad told me stories about him, and I really admired him. My Mom and Sister are big fans of Korea today, and my Grand Uncle fought for freedom that the south have today.

As a native South Korean, thank you MrSpherical for covering the Korean War through this very entertaining video! I've seen some comments where they take things literally, here are some additional information that's better to be explained:

- 1:24 Initial divination of Koreas (38th parallel) was actually a straight line along N38°.
- 5:12 Although elections started right after South Korea was born, corruption & manipulation was strong, so technically legitimate voting started after late 80s (which IS accurately written in 8:16).
- 7:49 NK leader at that time was Kim Il Sung, and I'm sure a lot of people knows this.
- 9:10 Success for advancing towards the North were thanks to successful invasion in Incheon that didn't show in this video (Battle in Incheon).

It's still very fun to watch though, so I've shared the video with my friends nonetheless :))
P.S. Seems like I can hear some keyboard typing in the background, did some subtitles got invisible in the final video?

I love how USAs sunglasses change shape based on emotions even though he can remove them without struggle.

[JessieYun]

9:11 Genius tactics from General Douglas MacArthur resulted in success in Battle of Incheon (인천상륙작전), which became an ultimate trigger to advance towards the North! Definitely a fact that couldn't be missed here :)) For us Koreans he's one of the greatest heroes of the Korean War, his statue is also in Incheon.

한국을 위해 지원해주신 참전국, 군인 분들 모두들 감사드립니다. 지원을 해주시지 않았더라면 우리나라는 없었을텐데.. 정말 감사드립니다.

Love that quote XD!

[DOMIRICAN]

I'm a southern Korean civilian and it being hard for the two places to actually except each other and not have a bloody war. And make those two places to communicate and help each other.

10:55 "👹DON'T WORRY NK, SLEEPY UNCLE CHINA IS FINALLY AWAKE👹"
Idk why but i love this part

[不爱喝橙子汁]

As a Chinese individual currently residing in South Korea, I earnestly hope that my homeland and the Korean Peninsula, encompassing Mainland China, Taiwan, North Korea, and South Korea, can collectively strive to prevent war to the greatest extent possible, engage in profound communication and dialogue, and peacefully resolve their differences and conflicts. War will bring no benefits to any party involved, and despite significant disparities in values and ideologies, I firmly believe that peace and unity will ultimately prevail.

[GreekCountryball]

I'm Japanese, but I'm enjoying this using a translator.
The history of South Korea and North Korea is very interesting, and I think it's a quality that can be conveyed even if it's in English. thank you.
