Pros and cons for Korean education system .. should Korean education system change?
No because it is their culture and always have been their culture to have an extremely very high excellent education rate on education and to really always value their education and to be perfect in every way in everything and to strive for perfection in everything. Also they are suppose to get straight A+'s and straight A's all through school and college all through their lives and be at the top 1% of their education and have the very top rate of their education and 92% of them move on to universities after they graduate from high school.Their parents are suppose to push their children to get the very best highest best grades in school and college and they are very strict about education and have been doing that from generations after genearations all through their lives and they would be very well displeased if they were to change it. I don't think that their parents would like that and they have excellence in their culture. Hopefully it can still be their culture to continue having an extremely very high excellent education rate on education and I hope and pray that they still do.

General MacArthur (American military commander in charge of the UN task force repelling the North Korean invasion of the South) was strongly against communism. He ordered (without the authorisation of the US president) that US troops would push the North Koreans past the 38th Parallel and then would invade North Korea and unite the whole Korean peninsula under a capitalist government. This turned into a war on Communism as oppose to just defending a nation against a foreign invasion. However, this made the Chinese start to fear a US invasion of their land and they entered the Korean War, causing the USA to eventually sign a ceasefire.

Who once controlled South Korea?
Korean history begins with the legendary founding of Joseon (often known as "Gojoseon" to prevent confusion with another dynasty founded in the 14th century; the prefix Go- means 'old' or 'earlier') in 2333 BC by Dangun. Gojoseon expanded until it controlled much of the northern Korean Peninsula and parts of Manchuria. After numerous wars with the Chinese Han Dynasty, Gojoseon disintegrated, leading to the Proto-Three Kingdoms of Korea period.
In the early centuries of the Common Era, Buyeo, Okjeo, Dongye, and the Samhan confederacy occupied the peninsula and southern Manchuria. Of the various small states, Goguryeo, Baekje, and Silla grew to control the peninsula as Three Kingdoms of Korea. The unification of the Three Kingdoms by Silla in 676 led to the North South States Period, in which much of the Korean Peninsula was controlled by Unified Silla, while Balhae succeeded the northern parts of Goguryeo. In Unified Silla, poetry and art was encouraged, and Buddhist culture flourished. Relationships between Korea and China remained relatively peaceful during this time. However, Unified Silla weakened under internal strife, and surrendered to Goryeo in 935. Balhae, Silla's neighbor to the north, was formed as a successor state to Goguryeo. During its height, Balhae controlled most of Manchuria and parts of Russia. It fell to the Khitan in 926.

After the North-South Period, successor states fought for control during the Later Three Kingdomsperiod. The peninsula was soon united by Emperor Taejo of Goryeo. Like Silla, Goryeo was a highly cultural state and created the Jikji in 1377, using the world's oldest movable metal printing press.
The Mongol invasions in the 13th century greatly weakened Goryeo. After nearly 30 years of war, Goryeo continued to rule Korea, though as a tributary ally to the Mongols. After the Mongolian Empire collapsed, severe political strife followed and the Goryeo Dynasty was replaced by theJoseon Dynasty in 1388 following a rebellion by General Yi Seong-gye.
King Taejo declared the new name of Korea as "Joseon" in reference to Gojoseon, and moved the capital to Seoul. The first 200 years of the Joseon Dynasty were marked by relative peace and saw the creation of Hangul by King Sejong the Great in the 14th century and the rise in influence ofConfucianism in the country.Between 1592 and 1598, the Japanese invaded Korea.Toyotomi Hideyoshi led the forces and tried to invade the Asian continent through Korea, but was eventually repelled by the Righteous army and assistance from Ming Dynasty China. This war also saw the rise of Admiral Yi Sun-sin and his renowned "turtle ship". In the 1620s and 1630s, Joseon suffered frominvasions by the Manchu who eventually conquered all of China.
After another series of invasions from Manchuria, Joseon experienced a nearly 200-year period of peace. King Yeongjo and King Jeongjo especially led a new renaissance of the Joseon Dynasty.
However, the latter years of the Joseon Dynasty were marked by excessive dependence on China for external affairs and isolation from the outside world. During the 19th century, Korea's isolationist policy earned it the name the "Hermit Kingdom". The Joseon Dynasty tried to protect itself against Western imperialism, but was eventually forced to open trade beginning an era which eventually led to 35 years of Japanese colonial rule (1910-1945). After the end of World War II, the Japanese surrendered to Soviet and U.S. forces who occupied the northern and southern halves of Korea, respectively.
