The Korean War ignited by the U.S. on June 25, 1950 imposed unspeakable misfortune and sufferings on the Korean people, causing tremendous human and material losses.

The U.S. has, however, falsified the truth of history and persisted in its moves to stifle the DPRK.

This is a foolish act to evade the responsibility as the provocateur of the Korean War and realize its wild ambition for domination.

Historical facts bring to bolder relief the true colors of the U.S. as provocateur of the Korean War and a war criminal.

The Korean War was an inevitable product of the U.S. strategy for putting the world under its control.

It was pursuant to the U.S. foreign policy for aggression and its direct result.

The U.S. set it as an immediate strategic goal of its foreign policy to establish "leadership over the world" and dominate the world by taking advantage of its favorable position in which it emerged the boss of the imperialists after the end of World War II.

U.S. President Truman in his "message" sent to Congress on December 19, 1945, said that at last it became possible for the U.S. to get the leadership position which U.S. President Wilson had wished to grant to it after the end of World War I, adding that it should assume with pleasure the mission to "lead the world".

In order to realize its wild ambition to dominate the world the U.S. declared the Cold War against the growing socialist countries and world revolutionary forces and came out with what it called "containment strategy."

The so-called Truman Doctrine spelled out by Truman at a joint meeting of the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives in March 1947 was an open declaration of a war against the socialist forces and the world independent forces and a declaration that called for carrying out its strategy for world domination and "containment strategy" in real earnest.

The proclamation of "Truman Doctrine" and the establishment of the above-said strategy meant that the U.S. launched an "anti-communist crusade expedition."

The U.S. attached importance to the Far East in Asia in carrying out its strategy for dominating the world.

MacArthur, commander of the U.S. forces in Fart East and commander of the UN forces during the three-year Korean War, said at that time that Europe had a dying system but Asia having 800 million population would decide on the advance of the world history in 1 000 years to come, adding that the U.S. will lose the whole world if it fails to put Asia under its control.

The U.S. reactionary government ostensively advocated the policy of putting main emphasis on Europe but it enforced the policy of attaching importance to Asia in practice under the influence of "those advocating Asia first" including MacArthur.

They attached great importance to Korea, in particular, among Asian countries,

"Top secret document No. 4849" of the Information Research Bureau of the U.S. Department of State on January 28, 1949 said that in the light of Korea's geographical situation in Northeast Asia to control Korea and its people was of value to any other states interested in the Far East and it was beyond any doubt that Korea was very important for the U.S. from the political point of view.

For its military and strategic position of Korea the U.S. regarded it as a strategic stronghold for making a military strike at any region in the Far East and as a " bridgehead" and a "forefront in the Far East" from which to intrude into China and the Far Eastern region of the Soviet Union.

To cite just an example, MacArthur was reported to say that Korea was like a bridgehead leading to the continent and that conquering the whole of Korea would help the U.S. forces cut off the only supply line linking Siberia of the Soviet Union with its southern parts and put the whole areas between Vladivostok and Singapore under the U.S. control.

The U.S. also said Korea was the forefront in the East where it was standing in confrontation with communism and a political and military confrontational hotspot between the East and the West as the north and the south of Korea were taking quite different paths after the end of World War II.

Much upset by the fact that the DPRK was making a leaping advance toward socialism, bringing about epoch-making changes, the U.S. termed Korea an "ideal battle site on which every possible success of the U.S. in Asia might hinge" and a "testing ground for the confrontation between the U.S.-style democracy and communism."

This finally prompted the U.S. to adopt it as a basic policy toward the DPRK to colonize the whole of Korea by means of war.

The U.S. considered war as an effective lever for bringing down the people's democratic system deeply rooted in the DPRK and imposing aggressive demands upon its people strong in independence.

The U.S. illegally brought the issue of Korea up for discussion at the UN in autumn of 1947, cooking up the puppet regime in south Korea in 1948 and worked hard to build "Asia's best" puppet army. All this was aimed at meeting these demands.

As seen above, the Korean War was an inevitable product of the U.S. brigandish strategy and policy for aggression toward the DPRK, both aimed to colonize the whole of Korea and realize its scenario for dominating the world in the Far East, using it as an outpost.
