Stalemate,[object Object],A Tale of Two Koreas,[object Object]
Korea: A Brief Pre-War History,[object Object],The kingdom of Korea was unified in 668,[object Object],Although subject to frequent invasion, Korea maintained a distinct identity under the Koryo and Choson dynasties.,[object Object],Korea was annexed by Japan in 1910, and remained a Japanese colony until the end of World War II in 1945.,[object Object]
The Korean War,[object Object],After the war, Korea was divided into zones of occupation by its liberators: the North went to the Soviet Union and the South went to the United States.,[object Object],In 1950, North Korea invaded the South in hopes of reunifying the nation.,[object Object],Fearing the spread of communism, the United Nations intervened, led by the United States.,[object Object],The war lasted for three years, from 1950 to 1953. ,[object Object]
Divided Korea: War’s Aftermath,[object Object],American troops advanced far into the North, but were pushed back by the Chinese, who allied themselves with their fellow communists.,[object Object],An armistice line was drawn at the 38th parallel (see right) that divides the Korean peninsula in two.,[object Object],Although the two nations have agreed to a cessation of hostilities, the war was never officially ended!!!,[object Object],Tensions remain high to this day.,[object Object]
The DMZ,[object Object],The best physical representation of current relations between North Korea and South Korea is the DMZ (demilitarized zone).,[object Object],The DMZ is a 151 foot long, 2.5 mile wide zone filled with minefields and surrounded by barbed wire.,[object Object],It is under constant surveillance by both sides, and is the most heavily armed border on Earth.,[object Object]
Korea Today,[object Object],With North Korea aspiring to become a nuclear power, the tension between North and South Korea is a relevant international issue.,[object Object],The recent sinking of a South Korean ship by North Korea is only one example of an international incident that could touch off a war.,[object Object]
Diplomacy,[object Object],Many countries, including China, the United States, and Japan have been attempting to mediate between the North and South in order to find a diplomatic solution,[object Object],Conflict between the two Koreas is highly undesirable for many reasons, including economic destabilization, the massive amount of refugees it would create, and the death toll.,[object Object]
The DMZ Forum,[object Object],One particularly interesting organization is the DMZ Forum, which proposes Korean reunification and the transformation of the DMZ into a peace park.,[object Object],Having been uninhabited for many decades, the DMZ has become a nature reserve home to many endangered species such as the red-crowned crane (see right.),[object Object]
What You Can Do,[object Object],Contact your representative and express your concern about the issue.,[object Object],The DMZ Forum is a licensed charitable organization and takes donations. You can donate online at their website: http://www.dmzforum.org/getinvolved/donateonline.php,[object Object]
