Context

Jeju 4·3 was not a one-day event on April 3, 1948; it was a prolonged collision of policing, elections, separate-state formation, and counterinsurgency on Jeju.

The record must connect the shooting, general strike, armed uprising, attempted negotiations, evacuation orders, martial law, scorched-earth operations, and civilian deaths.
