Why did the US invade the Korean peninsula?

To restore South Korea after it had been invaded by North Korea. The US invaded Korea twice. The first time was in 1945 when the US and the USSR agreed to invade the Korean Peninsula to defeat the ruling Japanese. The USSR invaded from the north and, as agreed, stopped at the 38th parallel. The US invaded from the south and stopped at the same line. The second time, in 1950, the US only invaded North Korea. The Republic of Korea (South Korea) requested US assistance, so when the US entered South Korea it was by invitation, not invasion. The invasion of North Korea was part of the objective of eliminating the North Korean ability to effectively re-invade South Korea.

South Korea invaded North Korea to try to reunite the country?

South Korea did not initiate an invasion of North Korea. The Korean War was initially started by the invasion of an ill-prepared South Korea by the (North) Korean People's Army on June 25th, 1950. This was because North Korean leader Kim Il Sung wanted to unite the two factions of Korea that had been developed under the division of responsibility for postwar occupation forces between the US and Soviet Union. It is true that after UN intervention saved the South Koreans from a full-out defeat, UN-led forces entered North Korea and reached as far north as the border with China in some locations prior to the Chinese intervention. This part of the war could be classified as a counter-invasion.

Did South Korea invade South Korea?

No. It is impossible for a country to invade itself. However, North Korea invaded South Korea and would have been victorious if not for the United Nations intervention.You could make the argument, however, that since South Korean forces participated in the Inchon invasion launched by General Macarthur, that the South Korean Army invaded sovereign South Korean territory under North Korean Occupation, but this is a long stretch as regards terms.

North and South Korea lie on the Korean?

Peninsula! It's a piece of land that juts out into the water, which is why the Communists could not flank it as they did later in Vietnam, because North and South Vietnam are not on a peninsula, as North and South Korea are.


Can North Korea and South Korea null and void the ceasefire between the two half countries?

Yes, South Korea and North Korea can null and void the ceasefire between the two half's of the countries. North Korea is a very unstable country and they could break the ceasefire at anytime. A ceasefire is not a peace treaty; and can be violated by any party at any time. There are still a number of violent incidents that have occurred between North and South Korea since 1953, such as North Korean tunnelers into South Korea, the attacks and Panmunjom, the attack on the ROKS Cheonan, and the North Korean artillery fire on Yeonpyeong Island.


What is a good hook for a North Korea research paper?

It depends on what you are researching about North Korea, but it could be a quote from a North Korean politician, a South Korean politician on North Korea, comments made by North Korean defectors, stories about the Japanese Occupation, etc.


Do North Korean defectors have a choice about staying or leaving South Korea?

Most North Korean Defectors do not ever go to South Korea. They either stay in China or come to the United States. North Koreans often feel alienated or discriminated against in South Korea because of their accent or mannerism, so they prefer to live in other places where their distinctiveness as North Koreans is less obvious.For those North Koreans who do defect, regardless of what country they defect to, returning to North Korea will be punished by death. South Korea also makes going to North Korea a criminal offense, meaning that, if for some reason North Korea waives punishment for returning, a re-return to South Korea will land that person in Jail. However, North Korean defectors to South Korea become immediate South Korean citizens and can visit any country with which South Korea has relations (just like any native-born South Korean). For example, they could work in Europe, the US, Canada, etc. provided that they get the proper visas required by those countries.

Could homefront the video game happen in real life?

Yes, it could. Because North Korea have admitted to be holding a Nuclear Missile aiming directly at South Korea's capital city Seoul. So, if North Korea fire the missile Australia and USA would retaliate at North Korea.
