Is Korea and South Korea the same country?

Answer 1

Yes, South Korea is a good country. Better than any other countries and even way better than North Korea! South Korea is 5 to 6 times more powerful than North Korea. There is no way that North Korea would be able to beat South Korea in war!

Answer 2

Korean Peninsula and Manchuria ( Kando Region) were all part of Korean Territory.

Before 60 years ago Korean Peninsula were one nation. After Korean War have left North /South Korea separated. At present North Korea population of 24 million is separated independent nation.

Answer 3

No, they were divided at the end of World War 2. Japan surrendered it to the allied forces. North Korea was controlled by the Soviet Union and China. South Korea was controlled by the United States. In 1950, North Korea invaded South Korea. Technically the two countries are still at war because a treaty was never signed.

Answer 4

South Korea is a country because at one point both North and South Korea were once Korea. The Korean War (1950-1953) resulted in the split. They both signed a treaty but they have major defences set up at the border. It is nearly impossible to escape from North to South (South- North) Korea. Out of what I know only one person has managed to escape to South Korea, a few has escaped from North Korea to China. If the Korean war didn't happen at all Korea would still be one nation.

Answer 5

Korea refers to the entire peninsula, which is currently made of two countries: North Korea and South Korea. However, most Koreans (from anywhere in the world) prefer to imagine their ancestral homeland (which used to be just one country) as one country and so they will call themselves Koreans and their ancestral homeland Korea even though this is technically inaccurate.

Answer 6

North Korea and South Korea are both separate countries.

Answer 7

yes. The thing is, Korea is one country but north Korea and south Korea is not really the same.

Answer 8

No, Korea is a penninsula. However, Korea does have islands that belong to the country.

Answer 9

South Korea is a country...
