North Korea And South Korea

North Korea is a Totalitarian country that often uses many different fear tactics to control their citizens. “ Her brother who was arrested in China in 1994 for attempting to “defect” from the DPRK... As an example to others against committing similar “anti-state” offenses, he was tied to the back of a truck which took him to their hometown, Musan.”(North Korean control #3 doc A) Someone's brother was arrested in China for trying to defect from North Korea, and as an example, he was dragged around by a truck to show people not to try and escape. This shows that North Korea wanted to impose fear on their citizens, so they wouldn’t try to leave. “The woman she knew was lined up alongside eight other prisoners... her crime was having watched South

Following World War II, Japanese colonization of Korea ended, leaving governments to be established by other parties. The 38th parallel was established in 1945 by the USSR and United States. The U.S. and USSR had heavy influence on the determination of what government North and South Korea had. North Korea had been planning on invading South Korea for a few years before they did take action to invade. They invaded once they were promised assistance from the Soviet Union.

A democratic country is the country governed directly or indirectly by people who have their sovereignty, so it has the laws to protect citizens’ rights. Most countries in the world adopt democracy, and so do United States and South Korea. However, it doesn’t mean that not both countries’ laws are same. There are some similar and different points between United States and South Korea in their laws to protect individual rights.

The conflict I am focusing on is the conflict between North Korea and the USA.

This analysis will evaluate the reasons why the Soviet Union chose to deny that they militarily supported North Korea during the Korean War. This topic might confuse many because the Soviet Union and North Korea were allies during the Korean War and they also supplied weapons to North Korea, trained their soldiers, and even helped plan and approved the invasion of South Korea. I will conduct an investigation to determine the reason the Soviet Union chose to hide their support for North Korea and I will obtain the information from both the North Korean perspective and the Soviet perspective. To obtain the information needed for this investigation, I will use online resources and books.

The Korean War is a forgotten conflict in American history in which this conflict was followed by World War II in 1950. The United States didn’t enter World War II until the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. World War II has ended resulting in the United States defeating Nazi Germany, in support of allies of the United States in coordination with the United Nations. The citizens of America have peace and prosperity now that their G.I.s are home. However, there is still tension between the United States and the communist Soviet Union. During the mid 1940s countries that had conflicts with each other have now been resolved. North and South Korea, one country, only divided by its regions, do not like

On August 4th, 2015, two South Korean soldiers were injured by a North Korean landmine, prompting the South for the first time in eleven years to resume anti-North propaganda broadcast via loudspeakers across the border. These conflicts provoked cross-border fire and heated rhetoric, however China and the United States are usually at the ready to ease friction between the North and South. For the past 60 years the flames of the North and South Korean conflict have kept burning ever since the spark of the Korean War. Although a majority of the fire has been extinguished with the 1953 armistice ending the Korean War, the flames of the Korean conflict still live, causing occasional burns and damage between nations. The political influences of the United States significantly affected the conflict between North and South Korea during the Korean War and have continued to affect this conflict for the past 60 years by means of military involvement, oppression of communism, and conflicting interests with other nations.

The two governmental structures that I have chosen to analyse are those of North and South Korea. Despite being in very close quarters their governmental structures differ greatly. North Korea is a Communist state with “a one man dictatorship” (CIA World Fact Book), South Korea on the other hand, is a republic democracy (CIA World Fact Book).

The irritable North Korean leader, Kim Jong Un, recently stated that the deadlock with South Korea was resolved by the enormous military muscle of the country’s nuclear weapons. According to the version of events by North Korea, the standoff with South Korea was a sign of the former’s strength. North and South Korea have remaining tensions, technically at war, because the Korean War ended with an armistice. These tensions escalated this month when a land mine explosion blamed on North Korea severely wounded two of South Korean’s soldiers. South Korea retaliated by turning on huge information speakers that blared disrespectful messages about Kim across the border. Military action was quickly threated by North Korea if the speakers were not turned

It’s hard to image countries struggling to find peace but sometimes this peace is much more than just agreeing. North and South Korea have had a feud for decades more than expected. Now the demilitarized zone, watchtowers, razor wire, land mines divides North and South Korea, tank traps, and extremely heavy weaponry secure the DMZ. North Korea is faced with a tough challenge as being ranked 178th rated country in the world, where as the south is ranked 31st and is more self- sufficient. With the cold war in the hand of the country’s leader the civilian’s lives is dependent on the next move. As peace begins to settle a treaty has still not been signed since the North and South cannot agree on the control of power.

Tensions between the U.S. and North Korea have been gradually rising for a long time, but what is the reason for the long-lasting feud? Regarding North Korea's situation and their relationship with Western countries, they mostly thinking about their side of issues (“The growing nuclear”). Making rules that are to be followed, this group of nations will often come together to negotiate some kind of peace. Reluctantly, North Korea follows these rules at first, but sooner or later they prove themselves to be untrustworthy as they fail to hold up their side of the agreement, which seems to have happened on multiple accounts. While all of the events that lead to believe North Korea should not be trusted are building up, their leader, Kim Jong

The rising tension over the sinking of a South Korean ship reached to a serious conflict between South Korean and North Korea. South Korean is accusing North Korean for firing the torpedo on purpose which resulted in 46 sailors deaths. According to Yonhap news, North Korean military official accused the South of intruding into North Korean waters in the Yellow Sea. North Korea sends a warning message to South Korea by firing torpedo to warn South Korea to not intrude in to their waters in Yellow Sea. North Korea doesn’t want to admit to their mistake; instead they are threatening to retaliate with military actions if South Korea won’t stop with accusations.

A little bit less than five years after World War 2 ended, a crisis broke out on

Before Korea was divided into North and South, it was known as Chosun, land of the morning calm. They were united under the Joseon Dynasty for over five hundred years. So, they essentially share the same language and culture. As a result of World War II the unified country was divided with the North coming under Soviet influence and the South under American influence. Today the division and tensions remains with the Demilitarized Zone separating the two regions. North Korea remains a backward country while South Korea transformed into a flourishing nation capable of competing with other world powers. As a result, some people from the North risk everything to defect for a chance at a better life.

The republic of South Korea is located in East Asia, according to the World Bank it is a high-income developed country with a developed market, with a GDP of $1.449 trillion(US) and GDP per capita (ppp) of 25,977(US), averaging an annual growth rate of 2.9%. Over the past four decades the country has shown incredible growth and global integration to become a high-tech industrialized economy. South Korea is the world’s 4th largest car producers being home to Hyundai Motors, the largest ship builder and also has many successful corporations such as Samsung. During the GFC South Korea was one of the Asian economies hardest hit although its protective monetary put into effect by the Bank of Korea (BOK) lessened the impact of the crisis dramatically between the years of 2008-2009. Today it is the 12th largest economy in the world and global leader in digital displays and steel production.
