제한전쟁을 수행하기 위한 미국의 6·25전쟁 정책과 전략: 전쟁목표에 관한 고찰을 중심으로 = For Limited War: An Analysis on U.S. Policy and Strategy in the Korean War Based on political and Military Goals

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This paper attempts to shed light on the political goals of the United States which had a multi layer structure during the Korean War. This paper argues that the U.S. had established a fundamental political goal not to conduct another world war by stopping the Communist aggression and preventing the expansion of the conflict. At the same time, the U.S. had pursued the second level political goal which stipulated the recovery of status of quo ante June 25, 1950.
However, with the progress of the war, the U.S. shifted its attitude about the possibility of possible world war. This was politically motivated and championed by military success. Government reports assessed Soviet military reactions with limited scope and Chinese intervention with less cautions. This brought the expansion of the secondary goal to unify Korea on UN’s terms. The result was terrible, so the politico-military leaders of the U.S. reminded the fundamental goal and reset the secondary goal to be similar to the previous one.
The U.S. had conducted the Korean War with the dual political goals as well as military goals. The triple structure of the goals would be a distinctive figure of the war. Interestingly, the U.S. leaders experienced problems to set up the military goal at the third phase to fulfil political requirements due to flexible military situation. The multi layer structure of political goals and the limiting mechanism of secondary goals could be understood as significant features of limited war.
