Koreas

edit

An editor added this parenthetical to the Korea section. It seems accurate, but we need to word this properly on the page, so moving it here to work out what we should do. --John (User:Jwy/talk)

(this statement is inaccurate, North Korea and South Korea were not politically separate until the Korean War cease fire was negotiated. At the time the conflict began there was just one Korea. The conflict began when Communist forces in the north attacked forces in the south, essentially starting a civil war)

no. the reliable sources agree they were totally separate independent nations with full-fledged national governments in June 1950 with a well-defined border. See >Karel Wellens (1990). Resolutions and Statements of the United Nations Security Council: (1946 - 1989) ; a Thematic Guide. p. 251. ISBN 0792307968. and accompanying UN documents.
Had I but glanced at the North Korea article, I would have known this. Thanks. That is something I did not, but should have, known. --John (User:Jwy/talk) 15:32, 5 September 2017 (UTC)Reply

Wartime rank?

edit

In February 1941, Bradley was promoted to (wartime) temporary rank of brigadier general...

But America wasn't at war until December 1941. Valetude (talk) 16:36, 29 October 2019 (UTC)Reply
