presentation examines how Korean diasporic nationalism in the years between 1905 and 1945 played a foundational role in the post-WWII emergence of the separate Koreas that exist to this day. Postwar Korea is most often portrayed in terms of Cold War politics
and the role of trusteeship of the United States and the Soviet Union, but Korean émigrés in the diaspora were also very much part of the overall process. The diasporic status of Korean nationalist activities profoundly affected the independence movement in
its political orientation, its rhetoric, and its methods. The local contexts of the diaspora, particularly the very different political worlds in which Koreans émigrés operated, produced a variety of differing and conflicting visions of a “new Korea,” which
led to bitter contestations over political strategies and preferred modes of governance. These ideological and policy conflicts within the independence movement became even sharper when Korea was liberated in 1945 and were among the main causes for the inner
division in the emerging Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union that led to national division in Korea. Despite the diaspora’s geographical distance from the ethnic homeland, the political activities of the diaspora helped shape and determine
the fate of the Korean nation-state. </span></span><o:p></o:p></p>
