That war ended in 1953 in a hostile truce between the communist Democratic People's Republic of Korea (North Korea) and the democratic Republic of Korea (South Korea). There's been improvement in relations between the two countries within the last five years, but North Korea grabbed headlines early this year when it declared itself a nuclear power. "Once unified, Korea has been divided for more than five decades first by the victors of World War II, then by a three-year war that left a scar known as the Demilitarized Zone, or DMZ, across the peninsula at the 38th parallel." This comprehensive CNN Special includes features on both South and North Korea, a look back at the Korean War and fabulous educational interactive features. My favorite is the click-and-drag Geography Game. Can you correctly arrange Korea's neighbors on a map?

ICU aims to share the accumulated knowledge and experiences in those areas with students and scholars overseas. ICU is continuously fostering Korean Studies and Women's Studies outside Korea through its courses and electronic information resources. This course aims to provide a broad understanding of Korean history, social systems, society, and culture to international undergraduate students. An understanding of Korean history and society will also facilitate a better comprehension of overall East Asian society and the interaction between the countries therein. The course will be arranged chronologically, exploring various stages in the development of society from pre-historical times until the present day. To achieve this aim, we will investigate cultural, religious, philosophical, and historical influences on Korean society. The course will be largely divided into four sections: ancient, feudal, modern and contemporary periods. This is an introductory course for the historical understanding of Korean culture and society. This course aims to provide comprehensive understanding on Korean history to north Korean and foreign exchange students by exploring Korea's cultural and social development from ancient to contemporary period. To achieve this aim, it will investigate the tradition, religions, Confucian ideology and Western influence including Christianity and their impacts on Korean culture and society. This course consists of 4 parts - Ancient period (Old Choson to Unified Shilla); Centralized Feudalistic Period (Koryo Dynasty); Modern Period (Choson dynasty to Japanese Occupation); and Contemporary Period (After 1945)

Extractions: The DMZ divides the peninsula by separating North Korea (Democratic Peoples Republic of Korea) from South Korea (Republic of Korea). The DMZ is 2.4 miles wide and centers on a demarcation line that extends for 151 miles between the Yellow Sea and the East Sea (or Sea of Japan). The DMZ represents a strange combination of peace within tension. There is peace within the zone because it is demilitarized and off limits to soldiers and civilians: that means plants and animals inhabiting the zone are protected from humans. Yet, there is an uneasy tension between the opposing combat-ready forces of North and South who still face and intimidate each other across the zone. At present South Koreans call the peninsula Hanguk, while North Koreans call the peninsula Choson. South Korea divides itself politically into nine provinces and six special cities. North Korea divides itself politically into nine provinces and three special cities.

During the Korean War (1950-1953), US and other UN forces intervened to defend South Korea from North Korean attacks supported by the Chinese. An armistice was signed in 1953, splitting the Peninsula along a demilitarized zone at about the 38th parallel. Thereafter, South Korea achieved rapid economic growth with per capita income rising to roughly 20 times the level of North Korea.

Photo Galleries The 38th parallel runs through northern South Korea while the sub-tropical Island of Jeju, about 80km south of the peninsula, is near the 33rd parallel. Seoul is similar in latitude to San Francisco and Washington DC. Jeju is similar in latitude to Los Angeles and Charlotte, North Carolina. The country has an area of just under 100,000 square kilometers, making it about the same size as Ohio or twice as large as Nova Scotia. Most of the country is mountainous, though the mountains rarely exceed 1,500 meters, or 5,000 feet, in height. The main mountain range runs down the Eastern side of the peninsula and, about 150km from the south coast, turns west, and continues southwest to the coast. Despite being densely populated, more than half the land area is forested. Korea is bounded by ocean to the east, west and south and by North Korea to the north. South Korea has about 47 million people, of whom about 200,000 are non-permanent foreign nationals. Seoul is one of the largest cities in the world, with over 10 million people in the city proper and a metropolitan area population of almost 20 million. South Korean cities do not seem as populous as they are. Urban development is dense and grows upwards instead of sprawling outward.

Extractions: SEOUL - The nuclear dispute isn't the only defining issue involving China, North Korea and South Korea. Culture wars, too, are being waged diplomatically as well as passionately over little-known but breathtakingly lovely tomb murals in Northeast Asia and what these paintings say about more than a thousand years of human development, art and religion. Except for historians of 6th-century East Asian culture, few people know of the controversial Goguryeo tomb murals tucked away in China's remote northeast, but North Korea also claims the art and tombs depicting life, death and an afterlife. And, problematically for both Beijing and Pyongyang, they are found on both sides of the China-North Korea border, with implications for the history of the Manchurian region. South Korea, with the financial resources and academic and political muscle to argue its Korean Peninsula patrimony, has been muted in arguing the case of the Goguryeo murals, its close economic ties with China being a primary reason for its reticence. North Korea, too, diminished in resources but desperately depending on China, has been all but unheard on the issue. China, meanwhile, has mounted a powerful campaign, the Northeast Asian Project, launched in February 2002.

Extractions: Up [ Geography ] History The Korean War Korea Today Travel Info The Korean People The Korean people, whose ancestors originated in northeastern Asia, have developed into a highly homogeneous ethnic group - the populations of the Republic of Korea (South Korea) and the Democratic Peoples Republic of Korea (North Korea) are almost entirely composed of one ethno-linguistic group - Koreans. Aside from a very small population of Chinese (who have largely learned to speak and "act" Korean) there is essentially no other ethnic group in the country, a fact which has had a major impact on the Korean view of the world. Ethnically Koreans have evolved from the Mongolian cultural heartland and were at one time, like the other Mongolian tribes, expert mounted horsemen who fought with bow and arrow. As the Korean tribes migrated into the confined Korean peninsula, where the mountainous terrain did not favor mounted warfare and hunting, it became necessary to develop settled agriculture - especially the cultivation of rice in the South - which further differentiated the early Koreans from the Khitan, the Manchu and the other still nomadic Mongol bands. Koreans have been called one of the hardest working peoples in the world; it is sometimes said that Koreans consider the Japanese to be the "lazy Asians". In spite of the events of the past century (which have included the killing of the Queen of Korea by a foreign power followed by a 35-year military occupation and cultural domination, one of the worst civil wars in history, and poverty ranking among the worst in the world) Koreans have not sacrificed their traditional traits of generosity and warmth. Visitors - particularly those who venture out of Seoul - often remark that Koreans are among the friendliest people they have met anywhere.
