1950 REMEMBER

În ziua de 25 iunie 2010 s-au împlinit 60 de ani de la izbucnirea Războiului din Coreea din 1950. După ocupaţia japoneză, Coreea a fost divizată în două ţări de către Forţele Aliate după cel de-al Doilea Război Mondiat, cu Sudul administrat de Statele Unite şi cu Nordul administrat de Rusia Sovietică. Divizarea de-a lungul anilor a dus la invadarea de către Coreea de Nord a ţării surori, Coreea de Sud, în 25 iunie 1950. Naţiunile Unite au trimis trupe din 21 de ţări pentru sprijinirea Sudului, în special din America şi din Marea Britanie. Războiul a durat trei ani, cu avansări şi retrageri de ambele părţi combatante şi cu numeroase victime. Sute de mii de civili şi soldaţi au fost ucişi. Cele două ţări se află şi acum în ostilităţi din punct de vedere tehnic, chiar dacă războiul a luat sfârşit printr-un tratat de pace semnat în 1953. Războiul mai este cunoscut şi sub denumirea de "Războiul Uitat". Fotografiile prezintă Coreea de Sud de ieri şi de astăzi, aşa cum am văzut-o timp de cinci săptămâni în vara anului 2010.

This Friday, June 25th, it will have been sixty years since the beginning of the Korean War in 1950. After decades of Japanese occupation, Korea was divided in two by Allied Forces at the end of World War II, with the south administered by the U.S. and the north by Soviet Russia. Deep divisions built over several years, leading to skirmishes and finally an invasion by North Korean troops on June 25th, 1950. The United Nations sent troops and support from 21 countries to support South Korea, primarily from the United States and Britain. The war lasted for three years, with large advances and retreats on both sides, and many casualties. Hundreds of thousands of civilians and soldiers were killed. The two Koreas are technically still at war since hostilities ended in a ceasefire, not a peace treaty in 1953. Though it is often referred to as "The Forgotten War", I hope this collection of photographs helps us to remember the events of 1950-53, those involved, and the legacy that still remains, sixty years later.
