Abstract
Even though the United States made Syngman Rhee the founding father of Korea's new republic, the all US decision makers didn't support him. In face of Pusan Incident of 1952 and Constitutional Amendment of 1954, the US was shocked by Rhee's unlawful provocations. After all Americans planned to eliminate the President Rhee to power. As they had not conviction of alternate leadership, their plan became the wastepaper. So there was no alternative except to support the President Syngman Rhee in the first half of 1950's. In the late 1950's, those close to the President Rhee monopolized Korean Politics. Then the US' skepticism of Rhee's authoritarian leadership was deepened. So Americans explored the contingency and succession plans, their plans realized in the vortex of the April revolution of 1960. Although Rhee Adminstration's political autonomy toward the US became stronger, the real autonomy was very weak.
