South Korea didn't "divide from the North." Two Allied Powers, USA and USSR, divided Korea, after they defeated Japan. The Koreans gained their independence on August 15, 1945. There was an election in the US controlled South, while the Russian controlled North boycotted that election. The election formed the Republic of Korea, established on August 15, 1948, in the South. In September, the North formed their own government and established Democratic People's Republic of Korea.

@NYCMonkey23 3 года назад

No mention of China sending their million-man army to aid the North. Are you some kind of a troll? Which one of the Koreas is a first world country and which one is a third world country? Why are your facts this twisted? Are you even Korean?

@theone5855 3 года назад

Thanks for the info dude!! I really wanted to know what happend and why they are divided

@SeoWoojin55 2 года назад

Technically, the Korean Republic was formed in 1919. It was just continued after Japan's defeat but the North boycotted it. The Korean Republic also coordinated attacks with the Korean resistance against the Japanese since 1919 has launched full offensives from the 1930s up to Japan's surrender. They were already launching offensives and defeating and clearing Japanese garrisons and were ready for a final offensive when the bomb was dropped in Hiroshima. This cancelled the planned final offensive.

@unknownstar9522 6 лет назад

Ah, never ending misnomer and misleading direct translation, “Comfort” women. How are human animals so ignorant that SEX is for comfort not knowing what birds and bees know instinctively and follow through with responsibility? Bees have sex and reproduce and nurture offsprings. Birds mate and male birds (as far as I know) stay to raise offsprings without going to the court for child support. Now human male species think sex is for comfort (or pleasure) and name female species as comfort women. And they think they can get away from reproductive responsibility for their biological children anonymously before DNA. No prevention or consequences and liability in mind after sex. Sheer ignorance and fallacy (money can be used to “buy” sex). And whoever named women CW, all others call them so like parrots. Nobody asks what happened to the pregnant women and their children? If women are over 18 (surely impregnable age) and consent, it doesn’t involve minor (another fallacy, birds and bees would identify) and it is not crime.

@sunkuyim3472 6 лет назад

Most things dealt in this clip is true. The thing which I think should be added is the sea located at the east side of Korean peninsula is `East sea', which is definitely territory of South Korea, not 'Sea of Japan'. This dispute, whether the sea of east side of Korea belongs to Korea or Japan is still a huge controversy among worldwide point of view, but the fact is that east sea belongs to Korea not Japan.

@skim2958 6 лет назад

Nice video. I'd like to clarify a couple of things which may not be so apparent from this video. Korea has a recorded history of 2000 years and a cultural history of 5000 years. So, while it is true that the current iteration of the country divides the country in to north and south, prior to 1945, it was just one country. Which brings me to the second point. The Korean War was a proxy war between USSR and the USA. After Japan annexed Korea in 1910, Korea struggled for independence but still retained its solidarity. After the end of WW2, Stalin was the monster who personally trained and equipped Kim Il Sung to conquer Korea in his ambition to spread communism to all of Asia. USA was determined to stop him. It was literally two giants fighting it out in Korea with the Korean people taking the brunt of the damage. In other words, the division of Korea is a product of the Cold War and all the people of Korea are merely victims.

south korea's eradication of illiteracy is not really due to intense education, but much more due to the simplicity of "hangeul," the korean alphabet invented in 15th century. everyone can learn how to read and write in matter of hours, probably a day at longest (and i'm serious, ive taught some of my american friends). of course, in terms of speaking, i think it's one of the hardest to learn, but still amazing that you can learn to read/write so fast

You know... it's hard to say the country of south korea was born on a that specific date... its history is wa~~~~~y far before that. I understand where your getting that from(from after the war and being declared as a republic) but no korean would be pleased to hear that because all its history is still bound to it and the way you phrase that just sounds like its denying the fact that korea existed before that time... just sounds wrong... Also the darkest history is when japan invaded korea.. not just jeju.. honestly what the japanese did to the korean people is one of the cruelest in all of the worlds history... the korean war, yes it was a dark time but if you ask any korean out there they would say the japanese invasion as the darkest time.. comfort women, raping, killing, and public humiliation of the queen, enormous massacres, torture, etc. The reason japan is one of the leading countries in biological war arms is because they've experimented with live korean people back in the days, they were the same if not worse than the nazis.. and the japanese still arent admitting to their wrong past.
