History of Korea

Korean War 2 is " WORLD WAR III". North Korea won't go down easily without pulling down China, USA, Russia, Japan, and South Korea. North Korean government is crazy but they are not stupid. So War is not option but it will be suicidal action for all countries surround Korean Peninsua including USA ( Hawaii, Alaska, Guam). Korean Unification will happen probably alot sooner then South Korean government expect. North Korean government cannot be isolate for along. It has been 60 years of North Korea isolation. North Korea people know the changing world. They simply cannot demonstrate or go against North Korean government. North Korea working class citizens are afraid " North Korean Law". Gun shot to the head. The new North Korean dictator is immature.

well in world war 2 japan invaded most of the aisian nations including Korea so in 1944 Korea had no power but they did a lot of resitance and other brave things

North Korea was founded when WW2 ended in 1945. Korea was divided up between the communist world and the free world; just as Germany was divided the same year by the same people...East and West Germany.

The relation between north and south Korea is very strict and hardend the two areas have now spillt up and never talk to each otherToday South Korea has become a major economic and technological power. North Korea is a poverty-stricken, heavily militarized nation.

The US's Status military wise is we have pulled back from the DMZ and let the South Koreans take over guarding it. We are also slowly pulling people out of S.K. and returning them to the states. It was planed that with in the next 5 years most of the US military will be south of Seoul. However with recent tensions growing between N.K and S.K. we have started sending more troops back.

In 1945 Korea became indipendent from Japan.

But right after that, USSR and US decided to put Korea under the trustee.

Half north was under the USSR, and half south was under the US.

Actually trustee wasn't realized but it is true north was in the control of USSR and south was in the control of US.

In 1948, all efforts to become one were failed and there was a general election in ONLY south. Some south parties who wanted to be one didn't attend though. Of course North didn't attend either. Anyway after election legitimate South Korean gov was born. Several months later North also declared North Korean gov.

So the answer is... officially in 1948.

(But it was from the beginning after independence)

I think the 38th Parallel was decided in 1945, but it did not become enforced immediately so that Koreans who wished to relocate could do so.

In the closing days of World War 2, the Soviet Union drove the Japanese out of northern Korea and the USA landed in southern Korea. They agreed the border of the two occupied zones should be roughly the 38th parallel.

The two countries are still based on this division.

The treaty that ended the Korean War created the separate countries of North Korea and South Korea, with the 38th parallel as the border.

FORGET THIS ANSWER LEFT BEHIND ANOTHER PERSON THIS IS THE ANSWER YOU WANT! they separated in 1945

North Korea, officially the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, claims to be a Juche-based socialist democracy. Most outside sources regard it as a totalitarian socialist dictatorship.

North Korea is a dictator led Communist State. South Korea is Republic with a vibrant economy and a strong Capitalistic structure. The two concepts are incompatible.

There was korean war until 1953 that killed 3 million people

Imperrial Japan had ruled Korea before the World War 2. Korea was

annexed by force to Japan in 1910 in the Meiji Era. President Roosevelt, Prime Minister Churchill, and President Chiang Kai-shek at the Cairo tripartite summit in 1943 agreed that Koreans be liberated from Japanese colonial rule and be allowed to be independent "in due course." President Roosevelt is assumed to have related this decision to the Joseph Stalin of the the Soviet Union at the Tehran summit talks among the U.S. president and the U.K prime minister, and Churchill, President Chiang was left behind Cairo during the Tehran.

From 1910 until the end of World War Two, Korea was a part of the Japanese Empire, and therefore Emperor Hirohito was its head of state. The emperor's representative during that period was the Governor General, resident in Seoul. (For a list of Governors General, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Governor-General_of_Korea.)

It was only after World War II that the Soviet Union and the United States agreed to split Korea into two zones of occupation, ostensibly in order to speed up the surrender of Japanese troops and to get them out of Korea faster.

The story goes that two US State Department officials (Bonesteel and Rusk) took out a National Geographic Magazine map and saw that the 38th parallel of latitude divided the Korean peninsula almost equally into half, while keeping the capital, Seoul, within the southern (American) zone of occupation. That is why they arbitrarily decided to make that the dividing line between Soviet and American forces.

North Korea (officially known as the Democratic People's Republic of Korea) was not formally a state until September 1948, when the foundation of that state was declared, and Kim Il Sung its president.

Currently, Korea is split into two countries: North Korea and South Korea.

North Korea
North Korea is a unique type of state, properly classified as a DYNASTIC COMMUNIST STATE. This means that the country is a Communist State, but has succession in leadership passing along a dynastic line like a monarchy. Some consider Dynastic Communism to be part of the Absolute Monarchy category, because of the similarities, while others argue that since the leader of a Dynastic Communist State does not use royal titles that the state is not a proper monarchy.

It is important also to notice the vast differences between North Korea and other Communist regimes. It has a dynastic rulership as opposed to a Politburo like the USSR or PR China. It has a strong statist religion (Juche) in place of a pure absence of religion, making it resemble a theocracy more than an atheist secularist regime. The military in North Korea also has a more direct role in governance than even the People's Liberation Army in PR China and this is more representative of Caudillo-states like Ghadhafi's Libya or Franco's Spain.

South Korea
South Korea is a PRESIDENTIAL REPUBLIC, which is a form of indirect democracy. This means that there is an elected President who serves as the head of state and the head of the government. The President has a large number of powers, but those powers are checked by the Constitutional Court and the National Assembly. The National Assembly, the unicameral legislature, is responsible for passing bills to be reviewed by the President. (The United States is also a Presidential Republic, which is why the system might look familiar to Americans.)

In the 20th century, a wave of communism swept through Asia, causing revolutionary uprisings in many Asian countries. In Korea, a revolutionary war was fought between 1950 and 1953. Korean communists received aid from the already communist China to the north, while the southern government received aid from the US, which used Japan to the south as a base.

one is the Han river

92% of China is Han... i think :)

Mainly the USA as when they occupied the South of the peninsula, the Soviet's invasion was halted and the Soviet Union and USA made an agreement to temporarily split the country a the 38th parallel. Thus, North and South Korea was born.

i am not sure i don't live in korea

yes

Kim Jong Un has threatened the US primarily as a means of asserting North Korea's sovereignty and deterring perceived external threats. These threats often coincide with military exercises conducted by the US and its allies in the region, which North Korea views as provocative. Additionally, such rhetoric is intended to strengthen internal solidarity and bolster Kim's position domestically by projecting strength against foreign adversaries. Overall, these threats serve as a strategic tool in North Korea's foreign policy.

Joseph Stalin and the Soviet Union

Japan controlled different parts of the country.

They depend on their environment by using their lush farming land to grow crops so that they can sell them.
