South Korea was caught extremely off-guard when the North Koreans invaded and petitioned the United Nations for assistance. The UN forces finally arrived, but by that point, the South Korean government controlled less than 10% of what is South Korea today (around the city of Busan).

About 6,000 miles. Or 11 hours on a direct flight, or somewhere near 24 if you take a non-direct flight. In short...too far!!

June, July and August

I think you want to know about the standard of Korean money.

Both North and South use Won(원) for standard, but the worth of the money is different.

The US won the Korean War and South Korea is a republic similar to ours. The US did not win the Korean war. See "Who actually won the Korean War?" Better answer. South Korea won the Korean War With the Help of Britain, Autralia and USA Neither side won the Korean War, although at first it seems like North Korea was winning and then the South was. It was a tie because there was a stalemate for two years between the two sides.

South Korea has two holidays that might qualify.

On March 1, South Koreans celebrate what they call "Independence Day" which commemorates the March 1st Movement in 1919. On March 1 of this year, 33 Korean nationalists and students declared their nation's independence in Seoul. It started a nation-wide civil protest and was a catalyst for the establishment of the Provisional Government of the Republic of Korea (April 13, 1919).

On August 15, South Koreans celebrate what they call "Liberation Day" which commemorates the national liberation from Imperial Japan in 1945 as one of the terms of Japanese Surrender to the United States. On the same day in 1948, the government of the Republic of Korea was established.

Although Koreans do use the lunar calender, the Gregorian calender is often used as well. Since this is 2009 in America, it is 2009 in Korea. But when it was December 31, 2008 for America, it was January 1st, 2009 for Korea.

The 1948 Winter Games in St. Moritz. South Korea sent a team of three athletes to compete in speed skating.

The 38th Parallel

Well I am about to move to South Korea So I have been researching it alot. I have read that it is a very chill peacefull place, the people are nice, and the place is just absoulutly BEAUTIFUL!(: Does This Answer Your Question?

If you mean the rule during the first half of the twentieth century, it was in 1945, when WWII ended. If there was any other Japanese rule of Korea, I can't help you on that.

There is no absolute coordinate system in the universe. Everything is always in motion, relative to virtually everything else. You can be still relative to the surface of the Earth, but the Earth is rotating, and revolving around the Sun. The entire solar system is whizzing around at a faster relative velocity around the galactic center. We are moving away from galaxies near our observable horizon at tremendous velocities (expansion of the universe for that last example, which is a slightly different scenario, but still noteworthy).

Since there is no "absolute grid" to define location in space (location is determined relative to an object we refer to as "fixed" even though we know it is not) it is impossible to say what is still and what isn't. Relatively speaking, I have been in the same place my whole life, and the surface of the Earth beneath me, and the night sky above and below me, have been the only thing moving this entire time.

because air planes werent a mode of civilian transeportaion the U.S. sent troops in boats. Because the Japanese lost to us it is acustom to help your victor so they also helped refule ,and suply boats.

No, South Korea had never been a communist country before.

Korea is located in East Asia and is neighbored by China, Japan and North Korea. 37°35′N 127°0′E to be precise.

Depends on when, South Korea had many leaders.

They've had some nice things like kimchi, soju, the turtle ship, the hanbok and Hangeul. These things are influences in the world because now Americans eat kimchi and drink soju. People wear the hanbok on babies first birthdays and people also use Hangul (Korean). That is a few things that Korea has brought to the U.S.

28,500 US - R.O.K. agreed troup level.

Many momuments were set up all around the world to commemomorate those who died. they saved the lives the many south Koreans, and they won the Korean war. if they hadn't south Korea would be communist to this day.
