Page "History of South Korea" Paragraph 14

The main policy of the First Republic on South Korea was anti-communism and " unification by expanding northward ".

The South's military was neither sufficiently equipped nor prepared, but the Rhee administration was determined to reunify Korea by military force with aid from the United States.

However, in the second parliamentary elections held on May 30, 1950, the majority of seats went to independents, confirming the lack of support and the fragile state of the nation.
