Political transition context
Post-liberation Korean politics was not only celebration of independence; it combined the collapse of Japanese rule, U.S.-Soviet occupation lines, and competing claims by provisional, committee, party, and military-government actors.
The records should be read as a chain linking returning leaders, occupation forces, trusteeship debates, Joint Commission diplomacy, and the failure of coalition politics to state formation and division.
