US-North Korea Conflict

United States (US) and North Korea started to have relationships in 1945, after World War II.

After the Treaty of San Francisco, Japan recognized the independence of Korea and abandoned

South Sakhalin and Kurilo in addition to any claims previously ordered by Formosa and

Fishermen. Pacific island. The US government over Ryukyu and the Bonin Islands has been

accepted for the time being.

Indeed, America's active engagement in the Korean Peninsula began with the defeat of Japan in

World War II, when Korea occupied both sides of Line 38, the Soviet forces in the north and the

United States in the south. During the 1950-1953 Civil War, the United States showed support to

South Korea against North Korea. According to U.S. military records, North Korea suffered

terribly from the aid South Korea received from the United States (The Nation, 2017). The

bombings were long, silent and merciless, despite the judgment of US leaders. In about 3 years

we killed 20% of the population (Air Force History Office in Curtis LeMay's speech, 1984).

Once again the United States is said to have bombed everything that moved to North Korea (Park

2001). At least 3 million North Koreans died in the war. The Democratic People's Republic of

Korea government never forgets the lesson that North Korea is vulnerable to US air strikes, and

half a century after the ceasefire has continued to strengthen its air defenses, build underground

facilities and eventually develop nuclear power. Weapons to secure North Korea. Korea will

never be in that position again (Chanlett-Avery and Taylor 2010). It is therefore not surprising

that the relationship between North Korea and the United States in the 20th and 21st centuries is

so provocative, complex, and thought-provoking. Before the United States intervened in the

Korean Peninsula, South Korea controlled both Japan and China.


US Intervention in Civil War in North Korea

In June 1950, North Korea dispatched a painstakingly arranged hostile against South Korea and

the United Nations approached part states to stop the intrusion. As a component of vengeance for

North Korea's intrusion of South Korea, President Harry Truman has approached the military to

help South Korea without requesting a revelation of battle from the National Assembly.

President Truman additionally sent a US armada into the Strait of Formosa to ensure one side of

the US military, dreading a patriot attack of terrain China in Beijing. In such manner, China

cautioned that the United States' essence in North Korea would prompt a war that American

military authority MacArthur would have disregarded and started a Christmas hostile at home.

Accordingly, China sent 180,000 soldiers to South Korea and drove US powers south of the 38th

line on December 15, 1950. On December 15, 1951, China began a second hostile against South

Korea and afterward quit fooling around along the previous line (Lau 2019). Military procedure

on the Korean Peninsula transformed into a calamity for North American and South Korean

soldiers who were pushed without material. Also, President Harry Truman didn't matter to the

United Nations for endorsement prior to sending the US armada to the Strait of Formosa.

Another shortcoming is that Truman has called troops on the side of South Korea without

requesting Congress for an affirmation from war. General Douglas Mack could barely maintain a

strategic distance from the destruction 160 km south of the 38th equal. He partitioned and

vanquished the North Korean armed force. After disagreements over military strategy, it was

revealed that MacArthur had resigned from Truman's command and that MacArthur was

planning to use nuclear weapons in Chinese cities to advocate an all-out war with China. The use

of nuclear weapons in North Korea was also part of his plan (Pollack 2017).
US and North Korea Relations in 21st Century

Presidents Clinton, Bush and Obama have considered a pre-emptive strike against North Korea,

but have sought helpful advice that the cost will be too high. The former US president agreed

that this crisis would threaten South Korea and North Korea. Additionally, it could engulf the

United States, Japan, China and Russia with a nuclear war that could backfire. Hence, they were

very diplomatic in relations with the United States and North Korea during the Goryeo period.

Unfortunately, the current situation between the current President of the United States, Donald

Trump, and the absolute leader of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (North Korea),

Kim Jong-un, is not the same. Nuclear weapons in the hands of cruel and capricious dictators

like Kim Jong-un, who rule without any control or balance, are undesirable and undoubtedly

pose a great threat to the world. Trump tests Hillary Clinton daily during the campaign. He

warned: "Even with the slightest provocation, anyone who relies on Twitter cannot take over the

state's nuclear button (Hillary Linton's comment on the 2016 US presidential election).

According to Ayobalu, he said Trump remains outrageous, strict, and despite the serious threat

that weighs on the international order, despite the deterrent influence on the United States' deeply

sound democratic institutions, which maintain effective controls and balancing among various

government agencies (Ryang 2020). Good temperament and unpredictability and harmony and

stability (National Correspondent, September 9, 2017). It is clear that President Trump is

reiterating President Truman's dire warnings to Japan about the nuclear abolition of Hiroshima

and Nagasaki during World War II. Trump warned Pyongyang that it would be better if North

Korea stopped threatening the United States. They will be exposed to fire and fury like never

before in the world, and the US military will be locked up and loaded. (Ibid) The little North

Korean dictator and his people remain persistent and tenacious, but the North Korean regime has
conducted nuclear tests that have amazed the international community in recent years and claims

to be able to use hydrogen bombs on southern targets: Korea. As a result, the United States has

stepped up joint military exercises with South Korea. The support Kim Jong-un has from the

North Koreans doesn't depend on whether they like him or his government. Instead, they have

sad memories of the suffering Americans suffered during the Korean War.

As a compass and operational policy that the state takes into account in intergovernmental

interactions, the interests of the state in the relationship between North Korea and the United

States were very well demonstrated during the focus period. Relations between the two countries

began after the Treaty of San Francisco, but the United States' active participation in the Korean

Peninsula took place during the civil war between the two Koreans, when the United States

supported South Korea against North Korea. It is known that at least 3 million North Koreans

died during the war. Never forgetting the doctrine of North Korea's vulnerability to American air

strikes, the government of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea continued to strengthen air

defenses, build underground facilities and eventually develop air strikes and nuclear weapons for

half a century after the armistice. This ensures that North Korea will never be in that position

again.
