That's what they'd like you to believe. But if I remember the number correctly it was something like almost 90% of all Koreans wanted to form a government with the North Koreans in 1950... But of course the West (particularly the US) didn't want another Communist government in the world since China had just turned Red. Another thing they don't want you to know is how much the US destroyed North Korea (and a good part of what would become South Korea). If you think photos of Gaza look bad with all the rubble... Try doubling or tripling that amount of destruction of habitations and you'll have what the US did to North Korea. (My dad served in the Marines there in 1950-52, was wounded twice, medivac-ed to Tokyo, had his legs put back together with metal pins and limped painfully the rest of his life. He returned to S. Korea many decades later to see what all had become of the country that he knew so little about as a 17 year old recruit in 1950. He always hated war after his service, and did his best as a college professor and minister to keep boys from being sent over to Vietnam. He realized after his service that "war is a racket" for rich men to make profits at the poor people's expense.)
