korea or south -- yeah, south korea and north korea. i don't think at the end of the second world war and with the emerging cold war in europe, the soviets and the americans could have come together and created a unified korea at that point. >> host: you really set the stage for competing occupation. and so the fluidity of that period is interesting and actually you talked a little bit about the challenges of the respective occupations and efforts to work with local leaders. i wonder if you could say something comparing the occupation of -- soviet occupation and the u.s. occupation on the peninsula. >> guest: well, the soviet union actually had a lot easier time occupying the northern half because they had a reservoir of koreans who could speak -- i'm sorry -- of soviets who could speak korean. the soviet koreans, that's long and fascinating history in itself but a lot of -- at the end of the 19th century, when korea became colonized by japan, a lot of koreans fled the colony and established themselves in the soviet far east and thennin

south korea. but i think to understand korean war it is also important to pay attention to what is going on in korea between 1945 and 1950. before 1945 korean had been high a -- before 1945 korean had been a japanese colony. there are groups of people that benefited from japanese colonialism and there were groups and individuals that had suffered deeply because of it. the right and the left in korea do not like each other. even if you take out the united states and take out the soviet union and china, it is still likely that there would have been some sort of civil conflict in korea. i think initially neither the united states nor the soviet union intended to divide korea. they both occupy parts of korea as was agreed to during the end of world war ii. they had originally believed that they would negotiate and come up with a formula for a unified agreement. over the course of the.-- the period between 1945 and 1950 you get increasing cold war for cushion. -- cold war friction. this eventually lead

it's not about south korea. they are not equal but johnson really felt he couldn't lose south viet nam he was the product of the 1950's, said he saw korea as a way of justifying his involvement in the tragedy. in terms of china, it is actually a lot more complicated for china but for now it is that sort of war and revolution that you could have the war and rea for domestic revolutions in sidey and i think that again is a similar analogy with the viet nam war than to spur on the cultural revolution against the so-called soviet religionists. what is interesting of course is now they also took the lessons of korea and these made it extremely clear that they would intervene directly in the war if the americans invaded north viet nam. unlike macarthur, he took the lessons of korea and he listened to mao's warning said that another complication was avoided. >> host: re-ride fast forward to the current situation and i think the way to do that is to extend the impact of the kirby and war wanted the u.s.-china relations

should i talk about south korea to? >> host: what i wanted to do was talk about the lessons of the korean war and vietnam. what's interesting about the lessons, in 1954 eisenhower had the opportunity to intervene. the french were losing indochina in the battle and eisenhower basically says no. the reason he said no was because they had just finished a very divisive war in korea and the new is the american public wasn't going to agree to another war in asia. interestingly 10 years later johnson makes a similar decision to intervene in vietnam and comes to completely different conclusion. that's because the memory of the korean war has changed within the last decade. at first it was what we call an unmentionable victory. it was looked up more or less as a loss. 10 years later the korean war is viewed as a kind of one. at least we have stopped the chinese at the 38th parallel. so johnson uses the korean war and knowledge in essence to make a case for vietnam. he says look, south vietnam has -- divided nations being threate
