As a result, some 80,000 villagers, fishermen, and policemen were killed. The book, drawing from a wide array of primary sources, ranging from South Korean governmental records, memoranda, memoirs, and recently unclassified documents, examines the role of the South Korean Workers' Party in the April Third Massacre on Jeju and how it shaped the origins of the Korean War. The author maps these origins of the Korean War from the outbreak of the April Third Massacre and through the ensuing chain of violence which included the Yo-su and Sun-ch'on Massacres of October 1948, engulfing the peninsula until 1949. Of interest to all scholars studyingmodern Korea, it is particularly relevant to historians focused on the Korean War, as well as political scientists and international relations experts interested in East Asian conflicts. 0aKoreaxHistory. 0aAsiaxPolitics and government. 0aAsiaxHistory. 0aPeace. 0aAmericaxPolitics and government.14aHistory of Korea.24aAsian Politics.24aAsian History.24aPeace and Conflict Studies.24aAmerican Politics.2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer Nature eBook08iPrinted edition:z978981998881508iPrinted edition:z978981998883908iPrinted edition:z978981998884640uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-981-99-8882-2
