Korean War

(the writing in orange is kinda like my own summary)...so is the black writing but they're more facts....orange writing is more sythesised...i think :D
 * Due to Japans unconditional surrender, the US had complete control over Japan’s empire.
 * Japan ’s colonies where returned to the original owners, and example of this is the Korean peninsula.
 * Korea was returned to the Korean people at the end of WWII and was left to govern for themselves.
 * At the time, the surge of communism in the USSR and China had a great influence over Korea’s future as a liberated government. Although, technically Korea was a “free nation” there were still influences from foreign power.
 * This lead to the struggle between communism and democracy: which in effect was a power play between the big four powers (USSR, US, China and UK)
 * The occupation of Japan ended prematurely due to the war
 * Korea  was released to do whatever they wanted, but then four big powers took interest in it due to its geopolitical advantages. Because there were already tensions from the Cold War, (which came into effect when A-bomb was dropped) Korea became the target of these tensions. Therefore in effect the occupation of Japan was in a way a contributor to the Korean War. It was both the cause and solution to the tensions of Cold War.
