A
history.com piece on Japan’s 40-year subjugation of Korea read well until near
the end, when the author, Erin Blakemore, wrote: “Korea was divided into two occupation zones that were intended to be
temporary. However, a unified state was never given back to the newly
independent Korean people. Instead, the Korean War broke out between the Soviet and Chinese-backed
northern half of Korea and the United States and United Nations-backed south.”
“… the Korean war broke out
…” Just like that. Out of nowhere. A war broke out. I guess wars have a habit
of doing that, suddenly breaking out. In 1939, war broke out between Germany
and Poland. It’s the same as guns killing people. There must be some people not
liked by guns. So the guns kill them.
