Korean War : South Korea

The Korean War was fought between North Korea (aid of China and the Soviet Union) and South Korea (aid of the United States). The Korean War started June 25, 1950 when North Korean forces invaded South Korea. The Korean War ended on July 27, 1953 with the Korean War armistice.

Later WWII ended and the Japanese were forced out of the peninsula. After the occupation, two groups of people were on the peninsula. One group wanted to redistribute the wealth and power, but the other group wanted to keep wealth and power as it is. Soon the division increased further during the Cold War. The Cold war caused Korea to split North and South. The North became a communist country with Kim Il-Sung as their leader. The South became a capitalist country with Syungman Rhee as their leader. Soon after the Cold War the Korean War started. Kim Il-Sung wanted all of Korea to be united once more under communist power. He invaded South Korea and started the Korean War. The war ended on the 38th parallel. Just like how it started. After the war North Korea was able to have a better economy than South Korea. North Korea used the Juche system. They relied on themselves for everything. Later North Korea’s economy began to plummet and South Korea’s economy began to boom. South Korea used the capitalist system. It was much different from North Korea’s Communist and Juche System. South Korea’s boom was, because of the help from Hallyu, also know as the Korean Wave or Korean exports. Now South Korea is welcomed much more

In 1915, the Imperial Japanese Army invaded the Korean Peninsula, and until 1945, Korean remained under Japanese rule. But after the Japanese surrender at the end of World War II, Korea

It was primarily the result of the political division of Korea by an agreement of the victorious Allies at the conclusion of the Pacific War at the end of World War II. The Korean Peninsula was ruled by the Empire of Japan from 1910 until the end of World War II

A. After World War II, Japanese-held Korea was divided into two parts. North Korea was controlled by Soviet troops from the north, and South Korea was controlled by the United States.

South Korea was supported by United States with money and army, while North Korea was supported by Soviet Union and China. Just after the World War II ended Korea get independence from Japan and it was such a happy day for them, but the happiness did not last long. Trouble began when capitalism and socialism invade the country. United States and Soviet Union decided that Korea should be divided in two and the war began the day North Korea attacked South Korea. Still Korea is

After World War II Korea was taken away from Japan, Korea would no longer be ruled by Japan. The reason it was taken away, is because Japan only got to rule it because they had more men, so they took Korea by force. The soviets wanted to have part of Korea to take care of,

     In WW II, Japan had gained control in Korea. At the end, when Japan was defeated by the Allies, the US and Soviet forces moved in Korea . Korea was divided to serve as the purpose to move the Japanese troops out. The line which was at the 38th parallel divided the country

After Japan’s victory against Russia, they annexed Korea and installed a “puppet leader” to rule the country with the Japanese’ influence. By 1926, Japan had complete control of Korea. After World War II, the defeat of the Japanese Empire led to the relinquishing of its colonies. One of those colonies was the nation of Korea. A deal between two of the victorious Allied

After Japan’s defeat from the World War II in 1945, Japan lost its colonies and the fate of colonized countries was given to the United States and the Soviet Union. The victorious allies, the United States and the Soviet Union, finally agreed to divide Korea into two nations, with Soviet troops occupying the north and U.S. troops in the south regardless of Korean’s opinion. Under the short-lived joy of liberation from Japan, Koreans had to suffer from the tragic division. This arrangement was meant to be temporary until elections could be held to unify the country under a single government. However, those elections were never held. The allies from World War II were broken into the communist and capitalist society. The Soviets installed a communist

When the Japanese empire was dismantled at the end of World War Two, Korea fell victim to the Cold War. It was divided into two spheres of influence along the 38th parallel. The Americans controlled south of the line - the Russians installed a communist regime in the north, later ceding influence to

In 1949, China fell into Mao Zedong’s communist forces. More than 500 million Chinese and 220 million soviets lived under communist rule. Japan ruled Korea from 1905 until the end of World War 2. Most Americans had barely even heard of Korea. After World War 2, Korea was divided into North and South (Brownstone and Franck p.238). On June 25th, 1950, North Korea invaded South Korea. North Korea wanted

Before looking at the war is it important to understand Korea and what is was going through pre-war. Korea in the past has had close relation with Japan the main reason being the Japan-Korea annexation treaty which made Korea part of Japan. While the Korean people resisted, Japanese suppression came violently and swiftly, killing 7,000 people and thus the Japan got what they wanted and had control over Korean. Although the Koreans were allowed to have a individual government they were still being controlled by the Japan who at the time were dictating their lives with many thing such as banning the Korean language and school were shut down replaced with new schools made to assimilate Koreans to Japan pushing toward the Japanese culture with no teaching of the Korean language or history. They were deprived of freedom of assembly, association, the press, and speech. When World War 2 hit many korean citizens were sent to Japan to support them in the war by doing tasks such as working inside of the ammunition factories or growing crops to send to the Japan front lines and supplying the Japan front line the with resources to continue. Later into the war Japan open the door to allow Korea to fight along with them which many Korean men did go to fight. But as the war slowly came to an end the was one more

Korea is between China and Japan. They constantly tried to butt in Korea late 19th and Early 20th Century. Countries in Western side also want to occupy Korea like China and Japan. In Korea, some people tried to civilize the country slowly but others preferred to civilize the nation quickly such as Japan. When the governors bothered citizens severely farmers rose in revolt. After the soldier were defeated by farmers, Japan and China came to Korea saying that they wanted to help Korea to handle the farmers. Because of it, governors and farmers of Korea stopped fighting to prevent Japan and China from coming

Japan annexed the Korean peninsula in 1910, and the country spent the next 35 years under Japanese military rule. With Japan’s defeat in World War II in 1945, American troops landed in the southern part of the peninsula, while Soviet troops secured the area north of latitude 38˚ N (or the 38th parallel). In this way, communism took firm hold in the
