Скачать или смотреть Korean Government Takes Over: Seoul, August 15, 1948 | US Army Footage of Republic of Korea Founding

🇰🇷 Witness the founding moment of the Republic of Korea in this rare 1948 U.S. Army footage, documenting the transfer of power from U.S. occupation forces to the new South Korean government on August 15, 1948, in Seoul.

This silent, black-and-white newsreel-style film captures official ceremonies, military parades, and symbolic handovers that marked the end of U.S. military governance and the emergence of South Korea as a sovereign state under President Syngman Rhee. The footage reflects U.S. strategic interests in Asia during the early Cold War and the formal division of the Korean Peninsula—a prelude to the Korean War just two years later.

📚 Presented by Mr. Hutchings History, this public domain film is a powerful primary source for understanding:
• The legacy of Allied occupation in Korea
• The Cold War division of the Korean Peninsula
• U.S. foreign policy and military presence in Asia
• The emergence of the Republic of Korea as a U.S.-aligned state

🎓 Ideal for AP U.S. History, IB History (Paper 2 & 3), and units covering decolonization, Cold War Asia, or post-WWII international realignment.

✔️ Public Domain | Producer: U.S. Army | National Archives ID: 20969
