Stalin installed a communist government just like he did in every other country the Soviets 'liberated' and South Korea was the best we could do politically and diplomatically to ensure the Korean peninsula wouldn't turn into a communist shithole and provide us with another ally in SEA

They'd just liberated Korea from the Japanese and to be honest, who the fuck was going to stop them dividing up a poor, unknown country for their own strateigic reasons?

The only other power with any balls in the region was britain and she was still picking her teeth up off the floor after ww2

>they had no right
What the fuck does this mean? You can't seriously believe nations actually consider themselves bound to "international law" by anything other than the relational inconvenience breaking them would cause, do you?

International law is just another form of states exerting power and influence over other states. To see it as anything else is foolishly naive

Korean independence movement was already divided into communists/anarchists/ and anti-leftists, so the division was unavoidable.
