A Troubled Peace: U.S. Policy and the Two Koreas

Note on Korean, Chinese, and Japanese Terms

Note on Korean, Chinese, and Japanese Terms For all Korean, Chinese, and Japanese personal names, I follow the custom of putting the family name first except for Syngman Rhee and other names that have traditionally appeared in English with the family names last. I generally use the McCune-Reischauer system for the romanization of Korean materials cited in the notes and for Korean names from the narrative sections preceding 1945, but without diacritical marks. With some exceptions I spell contemporary Korean names as they are commonly used in South Korea and North Korea, respectively. The Wade-Giles system is used for Chinese names cited prior to 1945, but the pinyin system is used for Chinese names and materials since the establishment of the People’s Republic of China. For Japanese names and materials I adopt the Hepburn system but without diacritical marks.
