[edit] Broken reference and POV

Huaiwei added some text to the Key events section. It contains a broken reference, <ref name="FirstYear" />. Most likely, it was copied from some other Wikipedia article. Until the reference can be fixed, I've added {{cn}} and commmented out the <ref> tag.

There are also NPOV issues, and I've tagged the section. Text like "The US administration responded by declaring martial law, firing into crowds of demonstrators and killing an unknown number of people" shows an anti-occupation POV. For instance, "unknown" implies a large number, but we don't know that, because no estimates are given. Also, the source given may not be reliable. Superm401 - Talk 04:36, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] More history

The history section (key events) is lacking. Besides the issues mentioned above, the article doesn't really explain how the occupation ended. Some info about this is at Division_of_Korea#Establishment_of_two_Koreas. Superm401 - Talk 07:27, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
