ABSTRACT

At a conference in Moscow in December, the foreign ministers of three great powers adopted a trusteeship plan for five years as a mean of solving the Korean problem. Meanwhile the left-wing political parties carried on a unified the pro-trusteeship campaign, at same time sought to bring about accord between left and right, thus to achieve unification of the peninsula. This plan of the left-right cooperation came to receive the baking of the U.S. military government. The democratic natioanalist, Syngman Rhee started the anti-trusteeship movement and refused the left-right cooperation. At last Rhee personally travelled to the United States in an effort to achieve of establishing of the exclusive government. Kim Ku's main activity was to support the left-right cooperation, and to oppose Rhee's plan of establishment of exclusive government. In August 15, 1948, the establishment of the government of the Republic of Korea was announced to the Korean people and to the wofld. In December of 1948, the Republic of Korea was acknowledged by the U. N. General Assembly to be, in effect, the only lawfully constituted government in the Korean Peninsula. On June 25, 1950, then, North Korea launched a surprise attack across the 38th parallel to try communize the Korean Peninsula by force. The United Nations, however, quickly resolved to give military support to the Republic of Korea at whose birth as an independent nation the U. N. had acted as a midwife. Accordingly the United Nations recognized the Republic of Korea as the sole legitimate government in Korean peninsula. So 16 countries of the U. N. memberships including the United States, participated in the Korean War to defend the North Korean invasion under the flag of the United Nations. In October 1953, the Republic of Korea and the United States concluded the Mutual Defense Treaty for Korean national security in Washington D. C.
