To the south lies a country; to the north, a concentration camp. Being born in North Korea deprives you of the right to know the world. It is a tragedy for its inhabitants. Greetings from Ecuador, a country in South America.

In simple terms. Korea had political problems for years due to Japan then it got split in half by the US because the USSR was tryna take over the country and become more powerful and then the Alies tried to reunify the the country since the Korean people got mad about the Alies annexing the country and instead the USSR didnโ€™t allow them to reunify and now thereโ€™s a family of tyrants in power in North Korea who are backed by Russia and China and the South is backed by the US and Great Britain

The Korean Peninsula today is divided into two, but there was a time when this peninsula was divided into many states. Over the course of time, and besieged by expansive transient dynasties outside of this modest piece of land, many clans and tribes overran their lands. Of all those malicious and greedy potential overlords, none managed to prevail.

Unfortunately, this video never attempts to explain why so many foreign nations were interested in Korea in the first place. Why did everyone want control of it?

A classic piece of 21st century anti-China anti-NKorean propaganda.
South Korea has been run by the US, using the same party and the same handful of rich families ever since they invaded and killed millions of Koreans.

Just like they did everywhere. Typical Divide and conquer. Britishers did it with subtlety while US and USSR just went right at it, like bullies

THE ONE OCCUPIED BY USSR BECAME NORTH KOREA WHICH IS POOR & BACKWARDS UNTIL NOW.......SAME WITH AFGHANISTAN! ..... IN SHORT IF YOU WANT TO BE A POOR AND CHAOTIC COUNTRY LET RUSSIA OCCUPY YOUR COUNTRY!!!

@jomish8719

If it wansnt for China, Korea is already one country

@galaxyoldman
@

Rusia and US agreed to split Korea for nothing only to postpone immediate geopolitical clash between Rusia and US instead of splitting Japan half like Germany. Korea has to be compensated for two counties' wrong deed of 1945.

I love the completely wrong visuals that go along with the narration and the ones that are completely out of place. It talks about how the Japanese forced Koreans to turn dry fields into rice fields it shows an American man sitting on the street selling apples for 5 cents

Korea was part of China. Korea - Han Gok or the Han Dynasty. Japan just love to take other countries resources and use war as reason just like americans

@HeeHawCapital

So Japan was the aggressor before and during wwii and caused destruction and murdered millions of people, tortured and starved millions more... and the West, including USA, says lets divide Korea. WTF

@eugene1197

So Japan did to Korea what the US did to them.

Conflict on the Korean peninsula goes back several thousand years. What happened over the last 200 years was mainly the result of western and Japanese imperialism. North Korea is trying to return to the good old days of Gugoryo and dynastic reign while South Korea embraces the spirit of Joseon. It's a problem solvable only by conquest.๐Ÿ˜ข

The north wanted dictatorship and the south wanted democracy. With the support from the US troops, South Korea was close to defeating north. However, everything changed when the Chinese Communists Party intervened by supporting the North. So basically, itโ€™s all because of China, hence no Asian country ever likes China. Even a communist party like Vietnam doesnโ€™t even like china.

@Gailuansui

Because of USA, that's it

@sdkckjewnvj

They split because China invaded Korea

@JH-bb8in

As Korean, everybody on comment does not know the most important fact that split korea.
Kim Il Sung, which is kim jeong uen's grandfather commanded attack on 1950 while leaving behind all the communication and possibilities.

When will the Koreans put away their political differences unite and come to the realization that they are one people and eventually S Korea will be abandoned by the USA who wants to encircle China

If this information is correct the question raises, how did Ukraine split into two in a few years? The answer is clear.
