> just ex-jap collaborateur brainwashing amazing how this doesn't get talked about enough. i was super surprised upon finding that the real division of the country was due to struggle between the ex-colonial structure (chinilpa/) and the more nationalist elements. collaborators just cozied up to the us and had re-established themselves in the post-war. i've gone through both soviet & us archives on korea (thanks to weathersby & cummings). i believe it was the us' fault that the country is divided today because of their disingenuousness.
