Was the Korean war part of World War 2?
Korea was taken over by Japan in 1909. Thousands of Korean men were taken by the Japanese and forced to work as laborers for the Japanese army. Many of these labored on Japanese fortifications on the Pacific islands the Japanese held. The Japanese made no effort to evacuate these men when the US attacked these islands, and the Koreans were trapped alongside the Japanese troops, who were expected to fight to the last man. Often they forced the Koreans, at gunpoint, to fight alongside them. Many Koreans realized their best hope of staying alive was to try to help the Japanese defeat the American invasion. US troops were unable to tell the difference between a Korean and a Japanese, and they usually had on the same type clothing. In most of these battles only a handful of prisoners were taken from among the defenders, and most of these were stunned, shell-shocked Koreans.Hundreds of thousands of Korean women were taken from home and forced to become "comfort women" for the Japanese army. They were forced to serve in official brothels for the relief and "comfort" of the Japanese troops. About fifteen or twenty years ago the Japanese government made a half-mumbled and wholly insincere apology to the former comfort women. These were just some of the unspeakable atrocities the Japanese routinely perpetrated during the war, which is why they are so widely hated in Asia to this day.
