| Summary / Abstract (Note) | The author attempts to determine who actually bears responsibility for the outbreak of the Korean War. He compares and contrasts different ideas on this topic and the propaganda clichés used in them. The author himself views the Korean War as a civil war, provoked by the division of the country and exacerbated by foreign interference. While stressing the importance of internal factors in determining the reasons for the war, he notes the special role of Pak Hong-Yong as one of the main supporters of launching this military conflict. |
