The story of the counter-narrative or counter perspective is that the Korean war was
detrimental to the two nations with over 2 million deaths. The Soviet Union, China and
the US were not as involved as people may have thought. The nations believed their
conflict as an inner war to be resolved by themselves, even while supporting them.
Additionally, the Korean war was an influence on the U.S. 's, Britain’s, and the United
Nation;s political and ideological questions around the world. Additionally, the Koreas
never signed a peace treaty which means that people can consider them to have an ongoing war.
The counter-narrative is mainly about how the Korean war caused so much pain, suffering, and
death to the Koreans. The struggle was a united one which made many other nations also ponder
many political and governmental questions and beliefs. The Koreans were able to influence the
image of the American president at the time Dwight Eisenhower to Europe since he was looking
into unifying European forces
Today, this can make us underestimate the impact on families and cultures who lost family in
the Korean War. In reality, the Koreas were so majorly affected by the Korean War. Over 4
million lives were taken, and to remind you, 10.55 million people lived in North Korea and
19.22 million people lived in South Korea in 1950 (the beginning year of the war)!
