How many of you were taught that the 'North's invasion of the South' (1950) and not the 'Jeju Island massacre' (1948), was the start of the Korean War? (lemmygrad.ml)

No Americans ever learn about the Jeju Island massacre in school. We only ever learn that "bad Stalin and bad Kim collabed to invade, no other reasons."

I only learned about the massacre and the US's indiscriminate murdering of Koreans before and throughout the Korean War from Nodutdol.
