As seen in this film, the savagery and violence created by the war have been wiped away with the generosity and love of the American soldier on duty in Korea. Housing, public buildings, businesses and transportation facilities have been patched together or constructed from scratch. American Army know-how, Army supervision, and Army equipment have played a vital role in this rehabilitation, working closely with the Korean people. Just as important has been the creation of a new Republic of Korea Army. This small force which was available for Korea's defense prior to the outbreak of the fighting, is now a part of history. Thousands of inexperienced young men have been trained by battle-seasoned American and Korean soldiers and turned into a smooth, well-drilled modern army, equipped with American weapons. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * After the First Sino-Japanese War and the Russo-Japanese War, Korea was occupied by Japan (1910–45). At the end of World War II, the Japanese surrendered to Soviet and U.S. forces who occupied the northern and southern halves of Korea, respectively. Despite the initial plan of a unified Korea in the 1943 Cairo Declaration, escalating Cold War antagonism between the Soviet Union and the United States eventually led to the establishment of separate governments, each with its own ideology, leading to Korea's division into two political entities in 1948: North Korea and South Korea. In the South Syngman Rhee, an opponent of communism, who had been backed and appointed by the United States as head of the provisional government, won the first presidential elections of the newly declared Republic of Korea in May. In the North, a former anti-Japanese guerrilla and communist activist, Kim Il-sung was appointed premier of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea in September. In October the Soviet Union declared Kim Il-sung's government as sovereign over both parts. The UN declared Rhee's government as "a lawful government having effective control and jurisdiction over that part of Korea where the UN Temporary Commission on Korea was able to observe and consult" and the Government "based on elections which was observed by the Temporary Commission" in addition to a statement that "this is the only such government in Korea." Both leaders began an authoritarian repression of their political opponents inside their region, seeking for a unification of Korea under their control. While South Korea's request for military support was denied by the United States, North Korea's military was heavily reinforced by the Soviet Union. On June 25, 1950, North Korea invaded South Korea, sparking the Korean War, the Cold War's first major conflict that continued until 1953. At the time, the Soviet Union had boycotted the United Nations (UN), thus forfeiting their veto rights. This allowed the UN to intervene in a civil war when it became apparent that the superior North Korean forces would unify the entire country. The Soviet Union and China backed North Korea, with the later participation of millions of Chinese troops. After an ebb and flow that saw both sides almost pushed to the brink of extinction, and massive losses among Korean civilians in both the north and the south, the war eventually reached a stalemate. The 1953 armistice, never signed by South Korea, split the peninsula along the demilitarized zone near the original demarcation line. No peace treaty was ever signed, resulting in the two countries remaining technically at war. Over 1.2 million people died during the Korean War.

Goes to show, you take an uneducated backward people and show them how to do things, they prosper with the rest of the world, and then you take north Korea, teach them nothing and they have nothing. America has taught many but only a few care enough to rise above the ashes. Germany, Japan, Korea are all as hard working. They were before the war though too. but North Korea was a country of agriculture and still mostly is although help that used to come from China in the form of industry has improved them some they went from farmers to soldiers in a matter of years. Now they got a nut for a leader, who the people think is divine. True communists except take from the poor, give the rich, like here now.

As I watch this video, I can't help but ask the question: Why did all this work so well for South Korea but didn't work at all in South Vietnam?

"I'm good and you are bad" is propably my flavorite flavour of icecream

I've actually been to Korea a few times they hold US soldiers very highly especially the dead ones not only are there beautiful graves to them but more than once I see temples built in the front yards and back yards of houses standing were brave soldiers fell it's really quite surreal.

I'm pretty sure China is regretting saving North Korea. ;)

Chiến tranh giữa hai miền Nam và Bắc Triều tiên đã để lại sự tàn phá và mất mát thật tàn khốc, có thể nói cũng chẳng khác gì giữa Miền Nam VN miền bắc cộng sản. Nhưng người dân miền Nam Triều tiên đã đứng vững mà không bị thảm hoạ cộng sản từ bắc Tiều tiên nên ngày nay thế giới có Hàn Quốc hùng mạnh và kinh tế phát triển như một minh chứng hùng hồn đối với môth Bắc Triều tiên khốn khổ dưới ách cai trị của chế độ cộng sản độc tài gia đình trị của nhà họ Kim Nhật Thành. Sự thật luôn cho thấy cncs chỉ là một ý thức hệ sai lầm và tệ hại. Dân tộc VN chúng ta đã sai lầm rất thảm khốc vì đã để chế độ cộng sản cai trị.
