KCNA Commentary Slams S. Korean Regime for Justifying War Provoked by Outsiders
Pyongyang, June 20 (KCNA) -- The south Korean puppet forces are working hard to twist historical facts that the U.S. ignited the war against the DPRK in 1950.

Park Geun Hye at a meeting of senior secretaries of Chongwadae on June 17 expressed regret at the results of the opinion poll conducted among youngsters over their understanding of history which showed that about 70 percent of the respondents answered the June 25 war was invasion against the north. She instructed the new “government” to put the situation under control without fail as it is a matter which should never be overlooked.

What she uttered is one more act of treachery to cover up the true colors of the U.S. as a provocateur of the Korean war recorded in history and justify its invasion to reduce the Korean people to slaves.

This is a mean act of passing the buck for the U.S. ignition of the June 25 war to the fellow countrymen in a bid to conceal the treacherous acts the puppet forces perpetrated by leveling guns at compatriots as a shock brigade in carrying out the war policy of foreign forces and justify their dependence on outsiders.

Historical facts prove that the Korean war in the 1950s was foreign forces' war of aggression against the DPRK, to all intents and purposes.

McArthur sent a message to Japanese Prime Minister Yoshida on June 26, 1950 in which he issued an order to suspend the publication of Akahata, organ of the Japanese Communist Party, for 30 days from June 27.

The then newspaper reported that McArthur issued such order because it carried the news that the Syngman Rhee puppet army illegally invaded the area north of the 38 parallel in Korea.

Zhou Enlai, the then premier and minister of Foreign Affairs of the Central People's Government of China, on June 28, 1950 stated as follows as regards Truman's statement on June 27:

"In actuality, the Syngman Rhee puppet government's attack on the DPRK by the agitation of the U.S. government was kicked off by the U.S. for the purpose of securing a pretext for invading Korea, Vietnam and other countries.

This is another interference of the U.S. imperialists in Asian issues."

The international political situation and the balance of forces in the international affairs at that time were completely unfavorable for carrying out the U.S. strategy for dominating the world.

In the international arena, the influence of the socialist countries steadily increased and the anti-imperialist national liberation struggle gained further momentum in many countries which were under the domination and control of the imperialists.

In the meantime, the U.S. military industry complex and the financial situation in Wall Street badly required wars of aggression.

The U.S. began to sink in economic depression from 1946 after it greeted heyday by gaining huge profits through mass production and sale of arms during the Second World War.

At a time when arms expansion unprecedented in the history of America started and the fear of economic depression reached an extreme phase, the U.S. political and military authorities decided to start the Korean War as a way out.

The option made by the U.S. put spurs to the revival of Japan.

The U.S. investment in Japan early in 1950 totaled 2.5 billion U.S. dollars.

The U.S. war provocateurs planned to use Japan as a military strategic springboard in the Far East. The ruling quarters of Japan had the hope of using the Korean war for implementing their plans to take revenge.

A correspondent of the Swiss paper Neue Zurcher Zeitung dispatched the following report from the Far East five days before the U.S. started its provocation to the DPRK:

There are many people in south Korea who seek the settlement of economic difficulties through the invasion of north Korea. 100,000 troops who were well trained by Americans and 50 000 policemen surely outnumber the north Korean forces.

The above-said facts are just the tip of the iceberg of the disclosed facts about the aim sought by the U.S in igniting the war.

History never changes no matter how hard one may try to alter it.

The perpetrators of the crimes will surely be forced to pay for them one day.
