The Division of Korea and the Alliance Making Process: Internalization of Internal Conflict and Internalization of International Struggle, 1945-1948

By Hyung-Kook Kim

Kim skillfully argues that the Korean War was a consequence of the historical process that emerged in the summer of 1945, escalated in the period of occupation (1945-1948), and finally exploded in the summer of 1950 through a vicious circle of internalization of an external power struggle by domestic political groups and the internalization of the Korean politics by the external powers.
