    According to analysts, the attitude taken by the North Korean government is a direct response to South Korea's recently-toughened attitude, which has urged de-nuclearization and sided with the U.S. government on a number of political issues. <!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> <!--[endif]-->
    <!--[if !supportEmptyParas]-->Their rocky relationship is nothing new; they have been, at least, in a state of semi-war since the Korean War ended in 1953. <!--[endif]-->
    <!--[if !supportEmptyParas]-->The South Korean Defense Ministry said North Korea "was intentionally interpreting Seoul's objectives and remarks by its officials in a malicious manner." <!--[endif]-->
    To an uninvolved citizen of a relatively separatist state, this news, although new to me, isn't personally provocative. While I hope that their issues are resolved peaceably (which seems unlikely), I remain, for the moment, relatively ignorant and thus uninvolved.

      1910- Japan began 35 year period of colonial
      rule over Korea///

      Many older Koreans stil hold a grudge against
      Japan
  • Japan's surrender to the Allied Powers in 1945, signaling the end of World War
    II, only further embroiled Korea in foreign rivalries.
  • On June 25, 1950, North Korean forces invaded South Korea
  • The war left almost three million Koreans dead or wounded and millions of others
    homeless and separated from their families.
  • The Second Republic under the leadership of Chang Myon ended after only one
    year, when Major General Park Chung-hee led a military coup. Park's rule, which
    resulted in tremendous economic growth and development but increasingly
    restricted political freedoms, ended with his assassination in 1979
  • . Subsequently, a powerful group of military officers, led by Lieutenant General
    Chun Doo Hwan, declared martial law and took power.
    • dekker28
      dekker28 on 27 Feb 08
       
      throughout the Park and Chun eras, there were many strong protests against the authorities, led by students and labor union activists
  • movements reached a climax after Chun's 1979 coup and declaration of martial
    law.
  • Thereafter, pro-democracy activities intensified even more, ultimately forcing
    political concessions by the government in 1987, including the restoration of
    direct presidential elections.
  • In 1987, Roh Tae-woo, a former general, was elected president
  • 1992 election of a long-time pro-democracy activist, Kim Young-sam. Kim became
    Korea's first civilian elected president in 32 years.
  • Former business executive and Mayor of Seoul Lee Myung-bak's 5-year term begins
    with his inauguration on February 25, 2008.
