다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The ROK-US Mutual Defense Treaty, the basis of the ROK-US Alliance, took more than a year signing to legal effect It was necessary to coordinate disagreement between the two countries on important issues after the treaty was signed on 1 October 1953. The officials of the United States regarded the Armistice as an end to the war, but President Rhee Syngman recogni2ed it as a temporary suspension of the war. Even after the Armistice, President Rhee tried to strengthen the ROK-US military alliance by insisting on reunifying the Korea, and considering that the ROK-US Mutual Defense Treaty alone jeopardized Korea’s national security, he demanded the US government to strengthen and modernise the Korean militar/s power. Major cases related to confrontation and cooperation between the officials of two countries in the process of establishing the ROK-US Alliance were disclosed on the Internet in FRUS, 1952-1954，Korea, Vol. XV，the historical records of the US State Department The Korean Presidential Archives and the Foreign Ministry also have related records, but only the US data were used to avoid exhaustion debates and ensure the objectivity of the source.
President Rhee Syngman continued to advocate opposition to the Amistice and the reunification of Korea until the signing of the Korean Armistice Agreement and the ROK-US Mutual Defense Treaty as the Armistice negotiations progressed, the US officials pursued the Armistice on the Korean Peninsula, and the US military established the Ever Ready Plan to pressure President Rhee Syngman. After the Armistice Agreement and the ROK-US Mutual Defense Treaty was signed, President Rhee argued that the Geneva political talks for peace on the Korean Peninsula would fail and that the communists should be completely expelled from the Korean Peninsula by military force. His intention was to advance north even with the Korean military alone and to drive out the communists and achieve a unified Korea if the United States does not support it As a result, the Agreed Minutes, in which the United Nations Command operated and controlled the Korean military to impose an obligation to comply with the Korean Armistice Agreement, in order to prevent the Korean military from advancing north alone, the United States postponed the exchange of ratifications by the ROK National Assembly and the US Senate, which is legal condition for the ROK-US Mutual Defense Treaty. President Rhee in the course of negotiations between the two governments to sign the Agreed Minutes, was able to increase US military and economic aid to Korea in exchange for withdrawing his position, which had advocated for armed reunification of North Korea. President Rhee succeeded in ensuring the survival and security of Korea from the US through the ROK-US Alliance established by the conclusion of the ROK-US Mutual Defense Treaty and the Agreed Minutes. The United States was able to promote its own interests through peace on the Korean Peninsula in the Armistice system by preventing communists from resuming invasion from North Korea with the ROK-US Mutual Defense Treaty and controlling Korea’s reunification by the Korean military with the Agreed Minutes. The ROK-US Alliance was established through fierce confrontation and cooperation between the leaders of the two countries, and the alliance has lasted for more than 70 years.
