From Koje-do to Panmunjom: The problem of repatriation of prisoners of war during the Korean armistice negotiations.

Abstract/Description
The repatriation of prisoners of war during the Korean Conflict presented the greatest problem to the armistice negotiators trying to end the fighting. Problems arose in the interpretation of various articles of the Geneva Convention of 1949 as it related to prisoners of war. The Communist interpreted these articles to mean that prisoners of war had to be repatriated back to their country of origin. The United Nations position was that the intent of the Geneva Convention meant that prisoners...
Show moreThe repatriation of prisoners of war during the Korean Conflict presented the greatest problem to the armistice negotiators trying to end the fighting. Problems arose in the interpretation of various articles of the Geneva Convention of 1949 as it related to prisoners of war. The Communist interpreted these articles to mean that prisoners of war had to be repatriated back to their country of origin. The United Nations position was that the intent of the Geneva Convention meant that prisoners of war had a choice. This war within a war prolonged the Korean Conflict for more than one year. As Admiral C. Turner Joy, chief UNC negotiator stated: "Voluntary repatriation cost us over a year of war and cost us our United Nations Command prisoners in Communist camps a year of captivity." Because of these negotiations, a precedent was set for future repatriation of POW's.

Show moreIndia followed a non-aligned policy in the Cold War while America led the Western countries against Communism. When war began between Communist North Korea and non-Communist South Korea in 1950, India at first sided with America in condemning North Korean aggression. However, Indian and American policies concerning the war soon differed leading to deteriorating relations between the two countries. India believed that America changed its goal in the war from stopping North Korean aggression, which India supported, to uniting Korea by force, which India opposed. India felt American actions were largely responsible for Chinese intervention in the war. The American Government became upset by what it regarded as India's failure to appreciate the danger of Communist imperialism. The war did not make enemies of India and America, but it did reveal that they had important foreign policy differences, especially with regard to international Communism.

Analyzing the effect of military expenditure on economic growth has been an essential task for U.S economists. This thesis analyzed macroeconomic components for the last 70 years by estimating the ordinary least squares (OLS) regression model and vector autoregressive model. To interpret the empirical analysis, historical analysis of the Korean War, the Vietnam War, and the Wars in the Middle East, was made. One found the negative effect of military spending during wartime on the economic...

This thesis analyzed macroeconomic components for the last 70 years by estimating the ordinary least squares (OLS) regression model and vector autoregressive model. To interpret the empirical analysis, historical analysis of the Korean War, the Vietnam War, and the Wars in the Middle East, was made. One found the negative effect of military spending during wartime on the economic growth of the United States. This thesis suggests that the policymakers and military commanders should focus on shortening the state of war to minimize economic damage to the United States.
