Today in Korean history
1947 -- The second U.S.-Soviet Joint Commission opens to discuss forming a joint transitional government and trusteeship in Korea. The talks broke off on July 10. The ideological divide between Washington and Moscow that was reflected in southern and northern Korea, respectively, led to the 1950-1953 Korean War.
1961 -- The junta led by Gen. Park Chung-hee announces the arrest of some 2,000 alleged communist sympathizers and 4,200 supposed gangsters nationwide. Park, who just days earlier on May 16 had taken over the country in a military coup and was later to make himself president, conducted a massive manhunt against those critical of his political power.
