No Korean war option 2

[Derek Jackson]

WI somehow an anti communist had taken all of Korea in the summer and fall of 1945.


There would be not be a Korean war as such.

What effect does this have on US events- Is Truman re-elected in 1952?

What effect does this have on Britain. Lots of folk think that the decison to MASSIVELY increase military spending did great damage.


Without the effect of the war would Korea have experience the eventual economic miracle that South Korea did?

If it did would this make a bigger impact than in OTL?

Officially america is displeased
the media however will spin it as a victory for democracy
and freedom after losing china. Koreas victory will gain
a halo effect from this.

What do you mean by anti-communist? In OTL US acted against the most popular movement in Korea after WW2, because it has been viewed as communist.

It remainds me of the situation in Vietnam, where Ho Shi Minh was labelled as communist, while he was rather more nationalistic than anything...
