It's so sad to think that a nation with same ancestors, same cultures, same lands, and same languages, got separated by other powers who have absolutely different culture and languages with them.
@alkh3myst Perhaps, this might sound crazy, but maybe he wasn't taught said topic at all? You just wrongfully concluded while committing a logical fallacy.
Totally! Being borne in the wrong place is like having a congenital disorder or disability. You can still win, but you’ll have to struggle 100 times harder.
Well most Latin America is democratic yet still very poor . And that’s caused by years of being colonized, having their societal structural and native economy destroyed and precious resources taken away from them, it’s very difficult to recover. Who’s to say once North Korea became democratic , western countries with the likes of USA and most Europe won’t turn North Korea into their next colony.
While N.K spends over X % of its annual income on military maintenance... personally I think the USA should have only given N.Korea 25-35% of Korea lands when it push it North since this is one of the examples where the 'bad actor' pays no consequences and the world often offers a deal to go back to the original borderline and enable the aggressors to have the time to regroup and rebuild their army once again =/ It won't be a surprise if that'll be the lifeboat Beijing will throw to Moscow which is depleting its ground ammunition.
Not sure if true but tbh i wouldnt be surprised if that true. Americans like to turn history their way and antagonize countries like china just to bully the competition. Thats what people commonly call a toxic relationship but for some reason, people enjoy it when its done by the usa
Some of the maps that I saw of the Korean war that showed the the battle lines had the US and other nations actually taking territory inside China and then that was when the Chinese got involved because China warned everybody saying don't cross the border and they did cross the border and across the border significantly. And that caused China to enter the war on a major scale, which tipped the hand and forced the the line where we're at and the treaty well the ceasefire there is no treaty so technically the conflict still goes on. Oh yeah and another thing, the ceasefire was signed by the generals, not the North Korean leader who was opposed to it. The generals were done with the fighting and signed the ceasefire and it has been the North Korean government that has refused to sign a treaty
Fun fact: Ethiopian reinforcement during Korean war was the army that has biggest rate of winning. (0 lose, 253wins) Thank for your support during Korean war!
@@pjpc730 Battle Yultong was an estimated 900 Filipinos vs 3,000-4000 Chinese soldiers. You keep bragging that it was 40,000 Chinese soldiers. Overproud Filipinos sheesh 🙄
Correction: China didn't join the initially North Korean invasion of the South, they joined after the UN joined and pushed the North Koreans out of most the country (hence why after that push by the USA, they were pushed back to near the 38th parallel)
Approximately 50,000 ethnically Korean members of the PLA participated in the initial invasion. However, you’re right that China did not become formally involved until the UN push to the Yalu river
@@nicola.innocenti the war isn't that simple and scholars still argue about who started the war: there were many skirmishes across the border War is almost never so simple (except with the Dutch invasion of Brazil)
Just imagine a farmer moving from newly established pakistan punjab to the Indian punjab and vice versa overnight on 14th August 1947 when the subcontinent was divided into two countries.
Fun fact, ever since Korea was split until today, everybody in China especially the government has hated the Kim regime a lot, he was extremely desperate in reunifying Korea, Joeseph Stalin kept warning him that invading South Korea was risky, and he never listened. Due to his negligence in attacking South Korea drawing the US's attention, North Korea was almost reunified over by the US, so he got China involved into the war and wasted countless soldiers. China never wanted to help him, but they just didn't want the US to be their neighbour. In China, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macau, we just see him as a crazy tyrant and call him 金三胖 or 肥金 which literally means "third generation fat Kim" or "fat Kim" everybody just photoshops the guy and mocks him because the way he treats his own people is absolutely ruthless.
yeah well china could single handedly save the poor suffering people of north korea, if the ccp would get over the fact about the neighbors thing. (which is incredibly petty) Is it really important enough that innocent people need to keep suffering?
I have a diplomatic solution. Why doesn’t China remove and replace the kim regime with a new communist government based on China’s own ccp? Then once it’s implemented, China could pull back out. That way there would still be a buffer zone between China and the west.

One of my beefs with American history classes in school: we start at the beginning and get into around the turn of the 20th century when school is about to end. I get it. We need to know where we came from and how we got to where we are today. And we also need to know not to repeat history. Remember this statement: those who do not know history are the ones who are doomed to repeat it. I believe there needs to be two separate classes on American history. We are living in history everyday!
I had a high school US history class that started at the end of WW1 and covered up to modern times and THEN went back to the beginning. They did this because they knew we had already covered the early stuff several times already. One of the best classes I ever had.
Syngman Rhee was dealing with a massive communist uprising in South Korea for two years, which greatly hampered the building of the South Korean military. However, when it came time to cross the 38th parallel into North Korea, Rhee was fully onboard with unifying the peninsula under his rule.
Why did the US and Soviet decide to make provisional partition in Korea? They were supposed to do this on Mainland Japan, Just as they did with East and West Germany. However, the US decided to do this in Korea because 1) technically it had been annexed into the Japanese Empire for 30 odd years so it was still serving the purpose of partitioning an Axis nation under the jurisdiction of the two major allied forces (US and Soviet), 2) it was part of mainland East Asia so a much better buffer zone and, 3) because they realised that Korea had become so exploited during Japanese control is was not much more than a slum - So keeping Japan under total US influence was so much more rewarding with its technological advancements. The division of Korea was really never for Korea but meant for Japan. With the partitioning and the two major powers egging their puppets to grab control - boom proxy war starts.
it has basicly no importance at all the soviets marsched in and replaced its leadeship with stalinist - then the US marsched in from the south and outhright desolved its structures - and that all only within months
Fun fact , America drawn the 38 parallel line. Without any Koreans knowledge or input. That divided the country , so that that's why the Korean wanted to reunite.
Fun Fact: The Korean War lasted until 2017, when there was a ceasefire. The reason why the war may sound like it stopped earlier than 2017, is because there was a stalemate. This might be incorrect, correct me if you find any mistakes.
The southern part of the sakhalin island and the kuril islands were also part of the empire of Japan before the soviets invaded it during the latter days of the war.
Yeah you are right about that,when S.Korea still under "Military Junta" they are still poor even more poorer than N.Korea (thats is real fact) cause most of Korean industry under japanese rules are in the north sides near Chinese Borders thats why N.Korea more Rich than S.Korea until 80's or 90's when S.Korea already became more democratics and opened to the world markets.
I don't think South Korea truly appreciates what America did for them. Sure, America proposed the idea of dividing Korea but that was because they knew that if they didn't all of Korea would very likely have become communist. A lot of American soldiers were lost for the freedom of South Korea. But it is certaintly also worth remembering all the korean soldiers and civilians who were lost in the war as well, who many of them never got the chance to choose their unfortunate fate. Respect to all the brave Koreans and Americans🇰🇷🇺🇸
it’s only the democratic party of korea and their followers. koreans are extremely thankful in general. Democratic party of korea is pro-n.korea, pro-china and blames america for intervention which prevented unification of two koreas under soviet union’s communism.

Fun Fact: North Korea is the reorganized People's Republic of Korea, which got its independence from japan through negotiations, but the US occupied the south and the communists had to flee north.
They are almost identical, but some vocabulary and grammar differences are present as the two countries have been divided for more than 70 years. However, if the people of both countries meet, they would have no problem talking to each other.

China did not help North Korea when it was invading the rest of the peninsula.China helped North Korea when the US and the South Korean forces almost made it to the border of China.That’s when in fear of a US ally on their border they helped North Korea
Yup, I use it all the time in my debates with dummies, also show how Anmerican intervention can also lead to a country being prosperous, Japan the best example.
Technically, Brazil was the country to first propose the division of Korea as before it was a United Korea, but seeing as Brazil proposed for the division, it was divided by the communist and americans
Just the other day I watched an incredible video showing both Korea’s at night. South Korea, especially Seoul, is brightly lit up like any developed country while the entirety of North Korea is dark except for Pyongyang which is barely a flicker of light.
United States and Soviet Union did the same thing with North and South Korea as it was done with Vietnam. Probably, the Koreans need a leader like Ho Chi Minh to unite again ❤
Technically China didn’t get involved until the US and South Korea touched their borders in which China agreed to help North Korea. BTW fun fact, the Soviet Union sent around 30 to 50 thousand soldiers while NK mobilized around half a million soldiers. China didn’t get fully involved in the conflict until near 1951
philipines did great but USA did greater like they both supported South Korea but USA was relied on more they gave more so i see why everyone says USA because they did alot not saying all the other countries didn’t do anything they did a lot also but USA helped more economically and officially with troops military money provided it all for South Korea

then the US marsched in from the south and outhright desolved its structures

and that all only within months
Fun fact , America drawn the 38 parallel line. Without any Koreans knowledge or input. That divided the country , so that that's why the Korean wanted to reunite.
Fun fact: in Korea war, Turkish helped a lot like a lot that's why Turkey loves South Korea

Fun Fact: The Korean War lasted until 2017, when there was a ceasefire. The reason why the war may sound like it stopped earlier than 2017, is because there was a stalemate.
This might be incorrect, correct me if you find any mistakes.

- my best friend lives in North Korea
- and how is he doing?
- he says that he can't complain
love people like him they make people start love history
What's crazy is that North Korea is one of the most dangerous places to live, but South Korea is one of the safest places to live
Busan was so close to being done for but luckily usa helped😊
done for? u mean so close to being liberated from american imperialism
The southern part of the sakhalin island and the kuril islands were also part of the empire of Japan before the soviets invaded it during the latter days of the war.

Thanks
Ya that’s why he said UN
i would like to express my courtesy to the philippine veterans 🫡
Great short video but you forgot to mention the south was getting ready to attack the north so the north surprise attack by them self the south first
Actually, although against Communism, South Korea was a dictatorship until a national protest turned it into a democracy in 1986. Is that correct?
Yeah you are right about that,when S.Korea still under "Military Junta" they are still poor even more poorer than N.Korea (thats is real fact) cause most of Korean industry under japanese rules are in the north sides near Chinese Borders thats why N.Korea more Rich than S.Korea until 80's or 90's when S.Korea already became more democratics and opened to the world markets.
@@justacommonman5935 heard SK is in economics troubles again as well as population like Japan.
China is too except population.
Team South Korea!!🇰🇷🇰🇷🇰🇷
I don't think South Korea truly appreciates what America did for them. Sure, America proposed the idea of dividing Korea but that was because they knew that if they didn't all of Korea would very likely have become communist. A lot of American soldiers were lost for the freedom of South Korea. But it is certaintly also worth remembering all the korean soldiers and civilians who were lost in the war as well, who many of them never got the chance to choose their unfortunate fate. Respect to all the brave Koreans and Americans🇰🇷🇺🇸
it’s only the democratic party of korea and their followers. koreans are extremely thankful in general. Democratic party of korea is pro-n.korea, pro-china and blames america for intervention which prevented unification of two koreas under soviet union’s communism.
미국과16참전국에 고맙습니다 반미운동가들은 북한이보낸 간첩들과 하수인들 입니다^^.

Why did the US and Soviet decide to make provisional partition in Korea? They were supposed to do this on Mainland Japan, Just as they did with East and West Germany. However, the US decided to do this in Korea because 1) technically it had been annexed into the Japanese Empire for 30 odd years so it was still serving the purpose of partitioning an Axis nation under the jurisdiction of the two major allied forces (US and Soviet), 2) it was part of mainland East Asia so a much better buffer zone and, 3) because they realised that Korea had become so exploited during Japanese control is was not much more than a slum - So keeping Japan under total US influence was so much more rewarding with its technological advancements. The division of Korea was really never for Korea but meant for Japan. With the partitioning and the two major powers egging their puppets to grab control - boom proxy war starts.
Fun Fact: North Korea is the reorganized People's Republic of Korea, which got its independence from japan through negotiations, but the US occupied the south and the communists had to flee north.
I've always wondered well still wondering if they speak the same kind of language
the both speak korean, but different dialects
@@reedschultzgeo oh wow thank u for the information it's just that I've always wondered
They are almost identical, but some vocabulary and grammar differences are present as the two countries have been divided for more than 70 years. However, if the people of both countries meet, they would have no problem talking to each other.

So its Brazils fault?

So north korea stands for: not safe
And South korea stand for: safe
Technically China didn’t get involved until the US and South Korea touched their borders in which China agreed to help North Korea. BTW fun fact, the Soviet Union sent around 30 to 50 thousand soldiers while NK mobilized around half a million soldiers. China didn’t get fully involved in the conflict until near 1951
