Korea: Difference between revisions

Korea used to be divided into two countries, North Korea and South Korea. This division is not only marked by a DMZ, but a river and hundreds of unknown land mines. During the [[early]] [[20th Century]], [[Japan]] took over Korea and held it until [[1945]] then Korea acheived indpendence, Then from [[1950]]-53 there was a war called the Korean war in which the Communist North Koreans and Chinese that were backed by the [[USSR]] fought the UN which included the South Koreans in 1950 the UN got off to a good start and took over nearly the whole of Korea but in 1951 was terribly beaten and was pushed into a small corner of Korea but in 1953 got the upper hand when the President of America forces China to stop fighting by threatening using the [[Atomic bomb]] so without Chinese aid, North Korea was weak and depite USSR aid, the UN forces pushed to Pyongyang. It is speculated that the two countries have came back to form Korea once again. Their capitals are Pyongyang (Northern Korea) and Seoul (Southern Korea).  Korea has always been a research powerhouse due to its size and location.  [[Image:Location of Korea on Earth.PNG|300px|thumb|right|The location of Korea on Earth]]
