South Korea and the United States

Paper Summary:

This paper explains that the fighting between South Korea, supported by U.S.A., and North Korea, supported by the Soviets, has created such a long-lasting impact on North Korea that it will never again be able to trust the U.S.A., which also has an effect on the relationship of South Korea and the United States. The author points out that the U.S.A., as the 'Super Power,' utilizes its diplomatic relations with other countries to bring about foreign policies that are beneficial to South Korea. The paper relates that the U.S.A. is the most important economic partner of South Korea, one of the leading investors in the South Korean market, and the second largest export market for the U.S.A.; however, there have been disagreements over the trade policies.

From the Paper:

"There is a general opinion that the Pacific War had dragged on for far longer than was necessary, and the Japanese had been willing to surrender a long time before they actually did, if their terms that the Emperor would remain in his position had been accepted earlier. In fact, this was what led to the occupation of Manchuria as well as the division of Korea into two factions, the North and the South. With the occupation of North Korea by the Soviets, there grew tensions along the border, there was a virtual Cold War taking place between the two sides, and since the Koreans are a nation of proud people, they were naturally resentful of those who had caused this division, the United States. The Americans in the meanwhile took an easy way out, and appointed the Japanese as administrators of local affairs in South Korea."
