North Korea and China Accused America of Biowarfare During the Korean War
Although little remembered today, here is how these shocking allegations were investigated and why such propaganda remains un-retracted to this day.
2021 marks seventy-one years since the beginning of the Korean War, a bloody conflict which saw the loss of nearly forty-thousand Americans and ten percent of the Korean population. Despite this massive loss of life and the physical decimation of the Korean peninsula, it is criminally under-researched. Its place in history, sandwiched between the catastrophic Second World War and the devastating Vietnam War, has caused it to be buried by the tragedies of its immediate predecessor and successor in time. However, during the Korean War peace talks, claims by communist forces that accused the American forces of violating the Geneva Convention took the world by storm, only for the false accusations to be forgotten in just a few generations.
