Differences Between North And South Korean War

It was nice reading through your submission, to add to what you have already stated, a lot of differences and similarities abound between Korean and Vietnam War such as inability of the U.S to contain communist system of government in both countries, both countries experienced major casualties and death during the war, both countries divided after the war whereby they have north and south Korea, North and South Vietnam. Then after the war, the North and South Vietnam united back but North and South Korea never united. Today both North and South Korea practice different system of government whereby the South practice Democratic system while the North still maintained communist till

North Korea, officially, the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, but with the practice of isolationism by their totalitarian communist government, it has also become known as the mysterious “Hermit Kingdom.” This small country remains inaccessible to but, a few due to economic sanctions and ongoing hostilities spanning decades with its southern neighboring country, the United States supported, South Korea. In addition to a complicated past and the regimes, emphasis on self-reliance to limit outside influence, North Korea, has successfully insulated itself from the rest of the world becoming detached and secluded. To know North Korea, you must understand the complex history of when Korea was as a whole nation and of

North Korea does have many differences and maybe some similarities, but they have it worse than Americans. Even though North Korea has many problems with the government/ rules, the rulers, their lifestyle, and the economy, one day they will hopefully become like the United States, free of the

Although many believe the world would be a better place if everyone were to get along and agree on social differences, but in the end these differences are the root cause of many wars. These two major wars, the Korean War and the Vietnam War, not only had serious impact within the country, but also give a prime example of how similar and different between the two. Both wars were commenced similarly from its conflict with expansion of a communist government and the involvement of the United States. Differences came from the involvement of the United Nation and the outcome of both wars.

In March 2014, the Chinese government announced that it would receive and identify over 300 remains of Chinese soldiers who were killed in South Korea in the 1950s, adding another similarity between the two major belligerents of the Korean War---China and United States---in recovering their dead soldiers from hostile lands. The similarity deserves a comparison between these two countries’ practices in searching for and repatriating killed servicemen in the last several decades, which will be a section of my dissertation. The project for this semester would focus on the comparison in the first decade after the Korean War.

The article "North Korea Vs. The World" still relates to the Cold War, because it explains the tension between countries, over nuclear weapons, which is similar to the tension felt during the Cold War. A supporting piece of evidence states, "National security experts say the acceleration of North Korea's nuclear program is a serious threat to the U.S. and its allies in Asia, particularly South Korea and Japan." (Zissou 1). North Korea is continuing to expand its nuclear weapons program, and is becoming an even bigger threat to many countries, including the United States. This would lead to tension between countries, because of the extremely powerful capabilities of nuclear weapons. The U.S. and its allies would not trust North Korea,

It has been almost sixty-five years since the split of Korea into the North and South. Although it was not until 1953 when Korea was confirmed by a signed agreement that it is spilt in North Korea and South Korea. As a result of Korea separating into two countries, two different people were in power with different types of governing. Although both countries were once one single country, they both have merged into two totally different countries, that if in the future they came back together to be one country it would be difficult to comprise their rulers and come to an agreement of governing between them.

Since the end of the Korean War, the DMZ (de-militarized zone) has been maintained. The U.S. has 45,000 troops stationed in South Korea. Today, North Korea’s leader, Kim Jong Il is trying to complete his goal of having nuclear weapons that he can launch into South Korea, Japan, or even the U.S. The U.S. is trying to get China, North Korea’s biggest trading partner and ally, to stop Kim Jong Il’s nuclear aggression. Japan and South Korea are two of America’s closest allies, and any attack on either of those countries will be perceived as an attack on the U.S., so our diplomas are working hard to avoid nuclear war, which could kill millions of

Understanding how North Korea as a country defines itself in a changing world. Where do they derive their customs and practices, political standings and military power? Define North Korea’s history leading into the modern age and define its culture and characteristics and how they interact with the world today. Understanding a subject as broad as the term culture begins where the culture began with the birth of civilization and the people that influenced it. There are many factors that play a role in the shaping of a nation none so much as turmoil and conflict and the Korean peninsula saw its fair share for the better part of a millennia. A complete statistical breakdown of North Korea shows a struggling nation that strongly depends on

Separated from their kinsmen for more than 50 years, the Korean people have grown to hate each other based on sheer ignorance. The idea of both sides continuing a long hatred of each other based on what other countries did to them destroys their ability to reconcile. New generations have grown up separate and that is all they know, breeding a culture of ignorant hatred. The Korean people should not be hating each other for the future they have now. Instead, they should hate the Japanese imperialists who took over their country and divided their people against themselves. With a renewed sense of unity, the Korean people will be able to continue their storied heritage based on common values and beliefs.

"South Korea is a country with a population of 50,924,172 and counting" ("The World Factbook: KOREA, SOUTH"). It is a nation that has been the center of many tug-of-wars. It is a nation that has had to fight in order to survive independent. Years ago, no one thought much of this country. So what is it about this little place now, that sets it apart and breaks it out of the mold of just another Asian country? Though South Korea may be a small country, the style of cuisine, community culture, and generosity are just

Now, the border between North and South Korea is one of the most militarized area on earth. Former US President, Bill Clinton, mentioned “The scariest place on Earth” during his visit in 1993. These shows that the relationship between North and South isn’t very good. Until 1990s, South Korea had hostile attitude towards North. However, in 1998, Kim Dae-jung was elected as a president of South Korea, South Korean government became very generous towards north, and aided North Korea financially. From these, the relationship between North and South was very good until 2006, when the government changed. In 2010, a South Korean naval vessel was sunk by North Korean missile. Also, North Korea bombed South Korean island Yeonpyeong, which happened to kill numbers of civilians. These are just two of North Korea’s annual armed provocation.

The war that ended six decades ago still split the two nations that were one in the past. Representatives from all parts of the world continue their debate on the fate of the two Koreas, and, proved by the incidents that follow the aforementioned war, a change is imminent, whether it may be a second Korean War or a movement for peace and unification. However, small clashes and shootouts do keep the tension between them high, and the world waits nervously for a spark to initiate the change.

South Korea is located in Eastern Asia and is the southern half of the Korean Peninsula. The country is nestled between the Sea of Japan, the Yellow Sea, and North Korea. Indiana is slightly larger than South Korea in land size; however, South Korea’s population is 49,039,986. Urbanization is occurring rapidly in South Korea. The majority of people in South Korea have moved into the cities with Seoul, the capital, having a population of 9,788,000. South Korea, historically, has been involved in several long wars. This includes wars with Russia, Japan, and North Korea. However, South Korea has focused on peace and is looking to continue peace with other countries. South Korea is a republic style government with nine provinces. The legal

South Korea is one of the most dynamic countries in the world, South Korea has emerged from a chaotic history, and has rightfully ascended the ladder to become a world power. Bordering North Korea in the south and separated from China and Japan by the Sea of Japan, Yellow Sea and Korea Strait, South Korea is an active participant in what is one of Asia’s most historically volatile areas
