5.18 Revisionism
I came home from lunch today and my wife's first question was, "What did America have to do with the Gwangju Incident?" She had been watching an MBC documentary on the same topic, which had apparently not answered the question either. Like all historical revisionism, the aim is to create doubts and suspicions for future historians to follow up on.
The basic allegation seems to be that the US did not intervene in the Republic of Korea (a sovereign nation, let it be remembered) to put an end to the ROK government's suppression of an armed insurrection.
