Korea is a small penninsula on the far East side of Asia. It is between China and
Japan. It is connected to mainland Asia in the North. It is separated from China
and Russia by the Yalu River and the Tuman River. Between Korea and Japan is
the East Sea. To the West between Korea and China is the Yellow Sea. The size of
Korea is roughly 1,000 kilometers in length.Korea is a divided country. At the End
of World War II in 1948, Korea was divided at the 38th parallel. This resulted in
North Korea and South Korea. North Korea became communist, while South
Korea did not. (This was based on the deal at the end of the War, dividing the
country in two just as Germany had been). North Korea is also known as the
Democratic People's Republic of Korea, and South Korea is also known as the
Republic of Korea. South Korea, or the Republic of North Korea is slightly larger in

Korea's population size. The fact that this division occurred has left both North
and South Korea on thebridge of war.
