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.

Redeemed by Our Savior, I work out my salvation with fear and trembling in Pohang, South Korea, where I live with my wife, daughter, and son and teach English at a science and technology university. Baptized a Methodist and raised a Missouri Synod Lutheran in Buffalo, NY, I spent six years as a guest of the Anglican Communion before being received by the Grace of God into the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church on the Feast of Saint Andrew, my patron, anno domini 2002.
