The driving force of responding to the Kwangju Uprising by the Carter administration in May 1980 was security apprehension. The Carter administration did not closely collaborate with the South Korean military junta during the whole process, yet did not prioritize its policy on the democratization of South Korea, either. Although the administration requested that the South Korean government very carefully use military forces to crack down on the Kwangju uprising, it did not oppose the use of military forces itself. Therefore, the role of US government can be defined as something in the middle of both active collaboration and reluctant consent with the military junta. The Carter administration’ s policy toward Korea was strongly influenced by both the Iran hostage crisis and the Soviet Union’s invasion of Afghanistan. They considered that both incidents might directly impact the security of the Korean peninsula. In addition, the South Korean military junta took advantage of the situation by amplifying the North Korean military threat and threatening to disrupt the ROK-US alliance if the US did not support them. The ongoing debate about the liberal characteristics of the Carter administration’ s foreign policy in the US presidential election race was another factor that made the Carter administration consider security matters more.
