The most famous person in North Korea is Kim Jong-un, its supreme ruler.

North Koreans typically live in buildings. Most probably dwell in houses in the countryside, though many of those in the capital of Pyongyang live in apartments.

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.

It's close. I had this on my homework a week ago, and i put close to, and I was right. So don't doubt me, slacker.

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.

There are no deserts in South Korea.

It's the size of Ohio, c'mon.

There are supposedly dry areas up in the mountain plains in North Korea, but that's about it. Usually, South Korea suffers from floods every summer.

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)

A typical Korean meal called"pekpan" consists of rice, the staple of every Korean meal, soup and a great many side dishes, one of which is "kimch'i". The sweet sticky rice accompanies every meal and may be plain or seasoned. Soup is also served a lot. Other dishes include seafood, meat or poultry, vegetables, herbs and roots.

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 last declared war was WW2. The atomic age has prevented total war. That's why it was called the Cold War. Cold War means no fighting. During the 20th Century, and the Cold War, we had to fight LIMITED WARs (NO NUKES). Police Actions (Dictionary) are restoring law, order, and stability to a nation/region using military forces, such as in Iraq today.

The United States helped out South Korea from the invasion Communist North Korea. The war resulted in a stale mate. This means that both sides of the fight ended at a draw and not one side beat the other.

well i don't know but 1 dollar in the U.S is 1000 in Korea. so like if u earn 100 dollars u earn 100000 in Korea, well if $1 is 100000 in korea then 100000 would equal 1000000,

South Korea's political structure is a mostly-democratic capitalism and North Korea's political structure is a communist dictatorship. South Korea has benefited from extensive industrialization and trade, including Europe and the US, which do not deal with North Korea.

The two countries represent a number of traditionally competing or hostile ethnic groups.

North Korea never helped South Korea because North Korea is a communist country and S. Korea is a democratic country. Thats wrong and not a answer, the united states helped S.K by destroying the bridge that China was sending reinforcements to N.K and sent reinforcements to the port of Incheon.

The US, Canada, Great Britain, New Zealand,bangladesh and India helped South Korea while the Soviet Union and China helped North Korea.

Population cannot be accurately determined in North Korea, however since there are reports of people dying of starvation, i would think that South Korea has a larger population.

The South had the advantage of having European powers behind it, backing it up. While it's true that communist China and the Soviet Union were supporting North Korea with modern weaponry and supplies, the South was able to have military superiority, only being pushed back by extremely large numbers of Chinese infantry storming into Korea to save the North.

During the war, the South practically had total domination in naval and aerial warfare.
