In order to do so he needed the support of his strongest

North Korea, officially known as the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, is located in East Asia and has a population of approximately 24,983,205. The Korean Peninsula has remained divided since the end of World War II in 1945. Though both sides came to agree on a truce in 1953, North and South Korea are technically still at war today. North Korea consists of mostly mountainous terrain and valleys that are not heavily populated. The capital city of Pyongyang is a modernized city, bearing many

But there is a way out of every situation. People never gave up whatever happened as if they are metals that become stronger and stronger as they are beat. Now I’ll examine the reason, fault, process, and lessons one by one. First of all, what are the reasons that made Japan to colonize Korea? I found that

This is evidence by China’s assisting Korea during Japan’s invasion as well as their shared relationship to Confucianism. Another factor to be considered is the tributary system between China and Korea. Swope points this out by stating, “Korea ranked first in the Ming hierarchy of tributary states.” It is also worth noting that Korea was the most loyal of the vassal states. Is it tributes alone that elevated the Koreans to such a high

THE Second World War officially ended with the Japanese surrender to the USA on the 2nd of September 1945, but world peace was far from achieved. With the collapse of Japan’s military strength and power in the east came tension. Many east Asian countries, like Korea, had been occupied and ruled by Japan for quite some time. Both America, Truman, and The Soviet Union, Stalin, took action to add stability to the country. This backfired leaving Korea divided and verging on war. On the 25th of June

Japan dates back to pre-World War II. Post-war, the Japanese government used this already-in-place system to “blot out passages that might offend the American occupiers” (Masalski).

including rent controls and land redistribution. Castro’s actions came at the expense of the United States. The United States was very disturbed by the interruption of the United States’ business and wanted to invade Cuba to destroy Castro. However, the invasion at the Bay of Pigs was not successful due to Castro’s soldiers intercepting the attack. The United States attempted to kill him and push him to view himself as a Marxist-Leninist and have an alliance with the Soviet Union. Castro depended on Soviet

These quotes show us the differences and similarity of the Korea Declaration of Independence and the America’s. Both things are decelerate of their countries’ independence from other countries plunder, included what they intruded in human rights after became a colony, the spirits of colonial people that wanted

kingdoms and were dragged into battle on opposite sides as a result. Since then, there have been many recorded conflicts between the two countries, including struggles to control maritime trade in Eastern Asia and various instances of piracy and invasions. Today, although we live in a more peaceful era than any before it, tensions between Japan and China are as high as they have ever been as the dispute over the Senkaku Islands, which are claimed by both China and Japan, continues.
