독립운동과 민족통일

Independence and Unification Movement

There coexists relations and differences between unification movement of anti-Japanese resistance period and post liberation period. During anti-Japanese resistance period, segments of forces have overcame the differences of ideologies and strategies in order to achieve the liberation. Those parties have agreed to seek the most effective way for anti-Japanese movement. In 1910s, the union between righteous armies and enlightenment squads has been made. In 1920s, Yuildangundong(唯一黨運動), which was the movement to merge right and left wings to build one and only party, was performed. This trend continued through 1930s and 1940s. All these movements led to the achievement of unified government in 1940s. Unification movements after the liberation differs from those of anti-Japanese resistance period. Although the world powers have divided the nation into north and south, movement to construct a unified government has appeared. However, the division by the world powers became the major disturbance which defected the unification. Conflict between right and left wings was also a great disturbance. Collaboration between right and left wings during Japanese occupation period was no longer effective after the liberation. Moreover, intends of the world powers and forces chasing for authority has disturbed the unification movement, which still remains undone. Unification movement is still being intended. As long as the division continues, unification movement means a great deal to the Korean ethnic. This is the reason why people focus on the unification movements which was performed during anti-Japanese resistance period. To achieve this worthy goal, we should thoroughly study the process and the outcome done by unification movements during the anti-Japanese resistance period.
