Some Background Information - events leading up to Korean War (to be completed!)
Japan (1910 to 1945)
- Imperial Japan destroyed the influence of China over Korea in the first Sino-Japanese War (1894 to 1895), ushering in the short lived Korean Empire. Imperial Russia in the Russo-Japanese War (1904 to 05), Japan made Korea its protectorate with the Eulsa Treaty in 1905, then annexed it with the Japan-Korea Annexation in 1910.
Korea is a peninsula east of China. It became part of the Chinese part of the Chinese Empire in 1637 and did not receive its independence until 1895 (Treaty of Shimonoseli).[1]
Soviet-Japanese War (1945) In the early 20th century Russia and Japan both tried to gain control of Korea. This resulted in the Russo-Japanese War (1904-05). On 8th February, 1904, the Japanese Navy launched a surprise attack on the Russian fleet at Port Arthur. The Russian Navy fought two mjaor battles to try and relieve Port Arthur. At both Liao-Yang and Sha Ho, the Russians were defeated and were forced to withdraw. May 1905, the Russian Navy was attacked at Tsushima. Twenty Russian ships were sunk and nother five captured. Only four Russian ships managed to reach safety at Vladivostok. Sergi Witte (cousin of Helena Blavatsky) led the Russian delegation.
WW2 - 1945 - Yalta Conference agreed that Soviet and American troops would occupy Korea after the war. The country was divided at the 38th parallel and in 1948 the Soviet Union set up a People’s Democratic Republic in North Korea. At the same time the United States helped establish the Republic of South Korea.
1949, the United States Army began to withdraw from South Korea. Statements by General Douglas MacArthur (Freemason. Nephew, Wolf’s Head) and Dean Acheson (S&K 1915) suggested that the United States did not see the area as being of prime importance. Dean Acheson (S&K 1915) argued that if South Korea was attacked: “The initial reliance must be on the people attacked to resist it and then upon the commitments of the entire civilized world under the Charter of the United Nations.”
Published 5 Dec 1950 - Stuart Craig Rand (S&B1909) - Twenty-one Boston business leaders - known as the Dover group - suggested the withdrawal [from Korea] to President Truman (Freemason) and Secretary of State Dean Acheson (S&B1915). … Signers included … Stuart Rand (S&B1909) of the State Street law firm of Choate, Hall & Stewart. 1939 - General chairman of the Greater Boston Community Fund’s 1939 campaign and served for three years as chairman of the Greater Boston Committee of British War Relief Society.
In Korea we have direct killing of Americans with Soviet weapons. The American casualty roll in the Korean War was 33,730 killed and 103,284 wounded. Of the 10,218 American prisoners taken by the Communist forces, only 3,746 returned to the United States: 1 men refused repatriation and 6,451 American servicemen are listed as “murdered or died”.[9,2014,p189]
The 130,000-man North Korean Army, which crossed the South Korean border in June, 1950, was trained, supported, and equipped by the Soviet Union, and included a brigade of Soviet T-34 medium tanks (with U.S. Christie suspensions). The artillery tractors were direct metric copies of Caterpillar tractors. The trucks came from the Henry Ford-Gorki plant or ZIL plant. The North Korean Air Force has 180 Yak planes built in plants with U.S. Lend-Lease equipment. These Yaks were later replaced by MiG-15s powered by Russian copies of the Rolls-Royce jet engines sold to the Soviet Union in 1947.[9,2014,p189]
