History of Korea

The governing styles in South Korea are drastically different than those in North Korea.

South Korea is considered a first class, safe and efficient country. Living in places such as The US, the only things that could be found odd are mostly mandatory military service for men under 30 years, and that abortion is illegal. Food is, for the most part, not a hardship in South Korea. Seoul is a huge, high class city and a lot of the country is farmland.

In both countries, the climate is mild, but on the cold side.

The North Korean government is strict, and although technically a republic, remains a dictatorship. A modern day feudalism can be noticed, with around %90 of the population living outside the capital, P'yongyang, and food situation is scarce.

For the other %10 percent, life is fairly good - P'yongyang has a great university, specializing in language, but the city is mostly made of government officials and their families.

Laws are strict and bad things that are said about the government are federally punishable. For most of the country, leaving is not allowed.

Products made in South Korea include: cars, cell-phones and televisions.

Currently, no. South Korea has not had strongmen presidents since the 1980s. Curiously, the current President of South Korea (Park Geun-hye) is the daughter of one of these strongmen presidents (Park Chung-hee).

China and Russia

because north Korea has a nuclear weapon and south doesn't have it.

and there is no good to war against each other.

WAR= using nuclear weapon = destroying whole Korean peninsula and some part of japan, china and Russia

That means killing a lot of lives

KIM IL-SUNG was the President of North Korea during the Korean War.

North Korea supreme leader is Kim Jong-Un.

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.

No, Vetnam is also communist. And North Korea is not communist country. They dont follow any of communist country. Economy, systems are not connected with communism. The leader is like god in north korea. And the leader is doing horrible things. They say they are communist country but absoluty not. China, economy is demoncracy but only the governmental system is communist.

The Pop scene in Korea is really famous

In fact, it is well known all over the world.

They also have hiphop groups, rap groups and bands like

FT ISLAND, and CN BLUE.

But KPOP is most famous, or so it seems.

When Japan was defeated by the USA and the USSR (who had very recently recently decided to declare war on Japan after the fall of the Nazis and at the request of President Truman), Korea, a territory of Japan since 1910, was split in half much like Nazi Germany was divided between the victorious Allies. The Northern half of Korea belonged to the USSR, and the Southern Half to the USA-- this is also the root of North Korean Communism, the reason why the Korean War erupted (when Comunist North Korea tried to take over South Korea), and why there are two Koreas today.

of course they are same people. It is like when the germany was divided into 2. Smae languages and same culture

yea ~ ^^v ~ kpop ? haha

None. It never managed to gain control of South Korea.

Because their homosexual pornography business doesn't get enough cash becausetheir genitals are significantly miniscule and when the penis goes into the anus their orgasms sound like tellitubbies on crack.

No. One side is Communist and the other is Democracy,(I think, from what i read about while in school)they do not agree on each other. South Korea and N.Korea hate each other

The name of the dynasty was the Joseon Dynasty

At the end of WW2 Rusian troop flooded parts of China, as it was still occupied by Japanese troops.

Russia also occupied North Korea, and put in a puppet communist government.

Hideyoshi invaded Korea with designs of eventually conquering China. From the Korean's perspective, they didn't really care why they were being invaded. They just wanted to succesfully repel the invaders.

Korea was part of China until 1895. Traditionally, Korea thought China as a parent or big brother country, and China treated Korea as a son country. After 1945, It still continue between North Korea and China. For South Korea, China is two of main countries influencing South Korean politics with U.S.
