    This is, in my estimation, one of the best documentary series that has been produced about the 'Cold War'. The huge amount of footage, much rarely seen, makes it compelling viewing. The commentary is very well written, and read superbly by the actor Kenneth Branagh.

    What if I told you that British newsreels of virtually the entire Korean War, from the first shots to the ceasefire, survive and it's all here on KZread? While America's press ignored it, the Brits' media was apparently all over it. The videos have been up for a few years, but few know they exist (many have like 2,000 views or less IIRC).

    If you watch the documentary "This is Korea", the US Marines and other soldiers had a real problem as what to do with the multiple orphan kids they were picking up. In the end, some were taken to places like a nunnery (amazingly Korea actually had them even then), or to an island refuge away from the danger. The worst is that teenage boys would sometimes be forced by North Koreans to fight as slave soldiers. That whole war was horrifying.

And now, in the year 2021, the old ideological conflicts seem to have returned.

The media and assumptive folks that never looked into the real data. Using the higher numbers is always presented in a more sensational light. Likewise, in the civil war, only about 230,00 soldiers died from actual combat wounds. Others died of disease, accidents and non-combat related incidents.

Mid way through the war tanks were used as mobile artillery because of deadlock and many were even dug into the ground and entrenched. In fact the Canadian army deployed tanks in Korea and it was the last time that the Canadian army deployed tanks in battle until the afghan war 50+ years later. Besides we have all seen the episode of M*A*S*H where Frank Burns accidentally looses control of a tank right? Classic scene.

    This series in general isn't too bad, but it definitely has a soft bias, which shows here. It is a pretty massive thing to overlook the fact that 'North' and 'South' Korea were split because two US military men arbitrarily set the 38th paralell to be the border of the US occupation zone. Every side considered this to be a "temporary" division. The level of Soviet Union involvement is also pretty overstated; they actually backed off supplying the DPRK for a while, instead saying that DPRK should get Chinese approval and look to them for help if they got into a shitstorm. It seems like a soft form of bias that makes the story sound like North Korea had no right to "invade" the South. As though there weren't frequent border clashes all year running up to the war, as though the South was a legitimate nation-State and not a foreign occupation governed largely by the very same former colonial Japanese, and as though the 38 parallell was a long-term border and not a temporary boundary set by a foreign power. Those "People's Councils" mentioned at the start as being in "North Korea" were actually throughout Korea, but they were smashed in the South. It's a shame that a more detailed and nuanced history of this conflict doesn't exist in accessible documentary form. Blowback Podcast is probably the half-decent source on it. It is important because the tragedy of Korea in the 20th century (remember the South was governed by a brutal dicatorship as well) was the result of this USA imperialst arrogance. Who knows how different things could have been. It's annoying and sad because ideological convictions are so thoroughly intrenched on this topic now, that to say anything that could be misconstrued as "pro" North Korea makes you seem like a lunatic. 'Lying by omission' is an insidious, manipulative discursive tactic.

    Horseshit. The 38th parallel was established by the USSR and the US under a power sharing agreement similar to that of Berlin and the rest of Europe. You seem so keen to gloss over the fact that the USSR was also coming down from the North to occupy Korea and that they groomed Kim Il Song for power during WWII with the very intention of putting him in power after the war. As much as you try to put blame on one side, it was an ideological conflict over what form of governance Korea would have by *both* sides. There were no illusions about the USSR wanted: the expansion of the Soviet Union and Communism. The Allies basically traded half of Europe to the USSR because the USSR was going to invade and take it over anyway. That's the entire reason Stalin originally allied with Hitler. "Buffer states" and the expansion of Communism. The USSR's stated goal at that time was for international revolution and replacement with Communist governance. People today seem to think this was not a real intent, but you can read the newspapers and watch the Soviet newsreels yourself. The song isn't called "The Internationale" for funsies; "comintern" means "Communist International." You have also completely overlooked all of the Russian documents released after the break up of the USSR which prove that Stalin encouraged the invasion and gave the green light to Kim. Most of those documents were moved back in to secrecy by Putin, so that no reckoning of the past could occur. The problem was that Stalin didn't expect the US or the UN to respond because he was always consumed with the idea that he was a mastermind puppet-master. He was pretty good, but not infallible. A trusteeship was to be established to handover. Negotiations between the US and USSR failed, in part because the US knew the USSR was likely to push for more control, so the US itself pushed back. Just look at the fight over Berlin and Operation Vittles, the so-called Berlin Airlift. There is a great deal of re-imagining of history by young people today who seem to believe "The Red Scare" was all baloney. Some of it was. Quite a lot of it was not, and we can see that today with Russia's imperialist aspirations in Ukraine.

    The UN didn't really try people for war crimes back then. Germany were the first and only because the allies had subdued the country and captured all leaders. In the Korea conflict there was no real victor, and no leaders were captured. Plus the US army had different rules of engagement. They could loot and destroy pretty much anything they wanted to. Most officers turned a blind eye cuz they needed their troops loyal and positive. There were also no human rights groups to investigate conflicts. Just how it was back then

    The whole war could have been avoided, in my opinion. If FDR had met with Mao, who at the time, agreed to stop the civil war and throw out the Japanese invaders. Had FDR supported Mao instead of Chiang, who wanted to fight Mao instead of the Japanese. I doubt Stalin would have allowed a North Korean attack without Chinese support. I'm just sayin.

Right after Stalin died Mao knew he could play around with Khrushchev and basically burned Soviet-Chinese relations to the ground in order to proclaim China as the communist power in Asia. There is no way in hell Mao would have kept his word to the ideological and political enemy America. FDR was quite naive when it came to Stalin but I'm sure he realized that the Nationalists were a better choice even if they were doomed to fail.
