Klappentext
Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The Yeosu-Suncheon Rebellion, also known as the Yeo-Sun incident, was an October 1948 rebellion, that took place in Yeosu, Suncheon, and surrounding towns, against the fledgling South Korean Syngman Rhee government largely cued by that government's suppression of the Jeju Uprising and refusal of Yeosu soldiers to go and help suppress the rebellion. In Yeosu, the rebelling South Korean soldiers seized weapons and took control of the town. The residents paraded through the town holding red flags. They restored the town's people committee (see PRK) and tried and executed a number of police, ROK, officials, and landlords. After one week the South Korean army overwhelmed the rebels. The matter was recently reviewed by the South Korean Truth and reconciliation commission, which found that government forces killed between 439 and 2000 area civilians. U. S. forces played a large role in suppressing the rebellion: U. S. commanders planned and directed the military operations, U. S. military advisors accompanied all ROK units, and U. S. aircraft was used to transport troops.
