History of Korea

Some important domestic issues in South Korea include economic inequality, an aging population, high youth unemployment rates, and gender inequality. Additionally, issues such as limited social welfare systems and high cost of living are also concerns for many citizens in the country.

Korea has one of the longest history in Asia. It is about 6000 years old (estimated), and the written history is since B.C 2300s. Actually, Korea even conquered Japan for several hundred years (maybe that's why they are so mad about the fact that Japan once conquered them in the 1900s!).

they are now using their techs to jump up their world power.

Now they rank the 11th in economy power, and with this growth, it is considered to be the 2nd place in 2030s.

-edit-

Korea never conquered Japan, it only conquered parts of Japan, most notably Tsushima island. Korea did however defeat Japan in the Imjin War and managed to destroy many Japanese pirate fleets during the Wokou Pirate Raids.

While South Korea does have a powerful economy (one of the G-20 major economies), it will probably never reach #2 due to the fact that its economic growth is hindered by its population size and its lack of natural resources.

-edit-

Actually, it is said that Korea lasted for 5000 years, not 6000. And even then whether it lasted for 5000 years or not is unknown. Koreans are taught to believe that, but there is actually a lack of evidence to support it.

China wants stability in North Korea to ensure that its neighbor does not collapse, which could lead to a flood of refugees and potentially pose a security threat. China also wants to maintain its influence over North Korea as a strategic buffer against the United States and its allies in the region. Additionally, China seeks to prevent the reunification of the Korean Peninsula under a pro-Western government, as it would diminish China's regional influence.

North Korea is communist, and South Korea is democratic. The Korean War had ended in a stalemate (when neither side gets a victory) so they remained split apart, and with different governments.

The Korean War officially ended in 1953 with the signing of an armistice agreement. After three years of conflict North and South Korea agreed to a ceasefire and established the Korean Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) a 2.5 mile wide strip of land separating the two countries. Since then there has been no formal end to the war and both countries remain in a state of armistice. Despite the technical state of war diplomatic relations between the two states have improved since the 1990s leading to a series of reconciliatory agreements.

• 1953: Armistice agreement signed establishing the Korean DMZ.
• 1990s: Improved diplomatic relations between North and South Korea.
• 2000-2018: Multiple reconciliatory agreements and summits.

For many reasons the North invaded the southern part of Korea, first being that the North wanted to unify the whole peninsula under communism.

At the end of WWII (it being held by Japan during the war) it was split by the Allied forces. The north held by the Soviets troops and the south by the United States troops. This made it a "hot spot" in the Cold War, and both sides wanted a chance to fight the other so Korea was a likely place for it to happen.

'What happened in Korea after *Japan left the country?'

They all started playing video games and now they're one of the most advanced professional gaming races on the planet.

Yes

It didn't. North and South Korea both declared independence in 1948. Neither country seceded from the other, but the country was divided into two distinct occupation zones by the US and Soviets in 1945.

There have been various warring civilizations living on the Korean peninsula since the Neolithic period. There was no unified civilization until the Shilla dominated all competing tribes and unified the peninsular region in 676 AD. This is the era where typified Korean architecture and customs originate.

Approximately 5,000 years.

It's similar to Americas.

The governing styles in South Korea are drastically different than those in North Korea.

South Korea is considered a first class, safe and efficient country. Living in places such as The US, the only things that could be found odd are mostly mandatory military service for men under 30 years, and that abortion is illegal. Food is, for the most part, not a hardship in South Korea. Seoul is a huge, high class city and a lot of the country is farmland.

In both countries, the climate is mild, but on the cold side.

The North Korean government is strict, and although technically a republic, remains a dictatorship. A modern day feudalism can be noticed, with around %90 of the population living outside the capital, P'yongyang, and food situation is scarce.

For the other %10 percent, life is fairly good - P'yongyang has a great university, specializing in language, but the city is mostly made of government officials and their families.

Laws are strict and bad things that are said about the government are federally punishable. For most of the country, leaving is not allowed.

Products made in South Korea include: cars, cell-phones and televisions.

Currently, no. South Korea has not had strongmen presidents since the 1980s. Curiously, the current President of South Korea (Park Geun-hye) is the daughter of one of these strongmen presidents (Park Chung-hee).

China and Russia

because north Korea has a nuclear weapon and south doesn't have it.

and there is no good to war against each other.

WAR= using nuclear weapon = destroying whole Korean peninsula and some part of japan, china and Russia

That means killing a lot of lives
