    • @Azusashusband
      @Azusashusband Před rokem +1

      I actually think Korea was more like Switzerland until the 1800s. Because before that Japan was far too weak (it was historically weaker than Korea) to bother trying to conquer and due to it's geography it would be nearly impossible to fully conquer Korea from China. Even the Mongols took 40 years and 9 separate invasions to create a vassal state and not something completely under their control. However these days it's similar to Poland I agree

      General Douglas MacArthur came out with the idea to expand the war into the north with President Truman reluctant approval because of China's response to the expansion of the war
      Truman's fear was proven correct and china sends its troops to push them back. MacArthur wanted to expand the war into China but was rejected by Truman as he feared it might start ww3
      MacArthur predicted that they might drop hundreds of nukes onto china. It didn't happen.
      After Truman rejected the idea, MacArthur wouldn't take no for an answer, and added insult to injury took it to the press and complained about it, which resulted in Truman firing him for insubordination

    But other than that, a fantastic video.

    Just like it did with Japan when it closed its country, the US also tried doing the same with Korea. In what became known as the General Sherman incident, the General Sherman entered the Taedong with goods purchased from Tientsin in 1866. They stopped at Keupsa Gate where the crew met Koreans. The Koreans refused all trade offers, but told the crew to wait at the gate while higher government officials were contacted. The captain didn't listen, and continued heading up river towards Pyongyang. The ship proceeded to attack anyone who tried to stop it. This was when it was decided to attack the ship. It was finally destroyed after being fought over for several days.

      I wouldn’t even compare what Korea went through with Japan AT ALL LOL cause they were almost entirely different!! Korea can be compared with Vietnam as they are brothers in more ways than arms, but most importantly: they were both split into north and south on the exact same day in 1953, at the exact same Geneva conference and both had communist north sides that were under the Soviet Union, both southern countries had the same alliance with the United States! And of course both have went through very brutal and the most important conflicts of the Cold War. japan was the only country in the Sinosphere that managed to dodge the bullet that was communism while the other three countries (China Vietnam and Korea) all had very different outcomes surprisingly. Korea remained split, China’s democratic half fled to establish Taiwan, while South Vietnam had lost and those residents fled all over the world
