What: KR model after JP zaibatsu; The most important group in KR commerce during colonial period.

Why: Big business & gov't hand-in hand. Not a free-market but selective sector favoritism. Efficiency not imporant as "national efficacy" = Heavy industry export growth. Slow rise to economic modeling.

What: Ideology on captialism origin. People that disagree with JP colonial merits for KR's modernization believe that KR was already in process of self-development. JP not a catalyst but an interference to self-progress.

Why: Traces of anti-colonial remnants. Idea that JP brought capitalist system in to KR justifies JP brutality. Also KR modernity benefited JP colonial empire, not KRs.

Who: KCIA kidnaps him under tension against Park Chung Hee.

Why: He almost won the election of 1971. The underdevelopment of Cholla province shows areas anti - park chung hee recived no economic development as punishment. He also anti-authortarian by opposing Hee. Eventually, jis presidency increases democratic reform.

What: churches are haven for human right organizations and students hunted by authorities.

Why: Churches provided international support (fear of getting foreign power involved if christianity attacked) and was only insitution relatively immove from the intrusion by regime. Christians fight for social justice = helping reformers = both traitors

What: Student and labor uprising against the first autocratic president Syngman Rhee. It ended to resignation. Fight against voting corruption as well.

Why: People hoped for democracy but after Rhee resignation, Park Chung He is more worse. Leds to military rule = stabalize poltical atmosphere and social disharmony. Shows the miracle on the Han faced rough roads = marked the democratic movement period.

What: Intel agency of SK; protect against communists opposition, info starting from Park Chung Hee era. Other job include spies & political police.

Why: Silence/execute anyone against Park publically. Park felt political stablity is must to prevent S.K to economically prosper. KCIA fear factor against Park opposers = showing extent of martial law. Connection w/ military showing = military relationship with politics can led to opposers labeled communist. Big brother is watching

What: Park Chung Hee needed foreign aid to kickstart his 'Big Push' to heavy industry export plan. Requested compensation from Japan for the colonialism during WWII. Japan gives $300 mil in grant and $200 mil in loans.

Why: $300 mil was used to create POSCO (Steel factory), Steel = national power. Hee wanted S.K to symbolize Steel not textile goods. Also shows that S.K needed to get help from Japan to have this transition

Who: A poet accused and prosecuted under the National Security Law as poems promoted N.K propaganda.

Why: bring down the dictatorship of government. Yusin Const. is a trickery; power hungry leaders; human rights illusion, people thrown in prison for democratic protest. Against Hee

Labor unions and strikers for more rights put down. Women = unfair low-wage cheap labor. Young women sacrificed for "han miracle". Sweatshop environment

What: Power from the people. Grassroot elements of students, christian churches,need to spread pro-democratic ideas to average Koreans.

Why: Against Park Chung Hee, and the Yusin Const. Make people aware of their civil rights and which KCIA is Hee's bodyguards, accusing people of hidden communist. Beginning of all other movements.

What: Park Chung Hee self proclaims president for life.

Why: One reason is the fear Kim Doe Jung could have won the election in future. Another reason is the State of emergency because of dangerous international situation. "Nixon shock" = U.S thaw relations with China in order to fight against USSR felt a politcal betrayl to KR. Hee was assassinated.
