When thinking of Koreas - what comes to your mind first - Kim Jong-un of the North or the tech companies of the South?
Kim jong-un
Neither
*Never heard of a South Korean escaping to the communist north*
South Korean tech companies
I think of my friend that’s Korean
''Americans and Russians agreed on the split,while Koreans were not even invited to the meeting''
This piece of line explains everything.
True
Just like the Britishers did to India and Pakistan and Bangladesh
You will be suprise how japan annexed korea and try to remove korean culture before US and USSR involve
You don't understand how brutall japanese army are
If you blame US, i'm sorry my friend
SK PEOPLE DON'T WANT TO STARVED to death for communism
They rather be rich and happy with capitalism
@@לעזאזלעםגוביידן ummmmmmmm
@@לעזאזלעםגוביידן That's a reason for not reuniting but the catalyst to why they split in the first place is because of both USSR and US
I’m a South Korean. I don’t hate North Koreans. I just hope one day North and South can unite so all the seperated families can meet before they die.
Nothing's wrong with North Korean people it's only their leader and government
i want the unification so bad, i just want to see captain Ri and yoon Se ri be reunited again :(
The question is who are going to lead the country after unification. You must only agree with the south Korean government to be the leader. What if North Korea win the war? Do you still want to be unified by the North government? No offence taken, I am just curious.
Stop dreaming! North Korea is North Korea, South Korea is South Korea! Two nations!
Jeff Zhang We can't unify in a radical way. We'll probably start with economic unification under two rulers. I think South Koreans are ready to sacrifice themselves for the unification of the Korea when the time comes. If you are more curious about Koreans' thoughts on the Korean War, watch the movie 'Taegukgi'. The Korean War was a huge tragedy.

That was religion issue I believe.
Yes...sweet sweet religion😝
@@blakekneegrow1960 that was partly religious. The main reason is the conflict between Jawaharlal Nehru and Jinna. Both wanted to be the prime minister of India and britishers just filled the ears of Jinna. For more information please refer the internet.

India and pakistan was not a single country before British arrived. There are many country inside it which were conquered by british. Even when british left there are many independent country which later merge with either india or pakistan. For country like Jammu Kasmir they were still fighting to get it.
Why we find US in almost every conflict on this planet.
Not as much as UK tbh UK is yet the greediest country in the world since vikings ages.

Imagine you’re having a cake and want to eat those alone then suddenly your neighboor from your left and right side barge into your House and then decide to share their piece in front of you without consulting you and then leave with each cake. Leaving you spechless.
Was it like that 😂
Replace “cake” with “family members” and you have a more accurate analogy.
MAKE SENSE HAHA
And then your neighbors keep boasting to you that they saved you from losing your whole cake to the other neighbor despite the fact you have no cake left.
Instead of imagining a cake, imagine you are abused and oppressed by the Japanese 🙃
The Japanese treated Koreans as "second class citizens". Now that's a great example of an understatement.

Not quite accurate, South Korea afaik was inferior to the North Koreans for a long time and didn't even have a democracy until the sixth republic was established around the 90's. Even the 38th parallel was a straight line until the end of the Korean War, something not shown in the video.

I wish you had stressed more on Japan’s involvement. Tensions between Japan and Korea are still pretty high to this day because of it. Mostly because of the fact that Japan colonised Korea for about 35 years but has never apologised for it and every time someone brings up Comfort Women, Japan gets really upset. Just recently San Francisco built a statue in tribute to Comfort Women and Osaka cut ties with the city completely. It’s interesting the while Germany and Japan were on the same side during WWII, they’ve taken completely different steps after the war.
acctuatly after that incident Japan's government received much criticism and they did made an apology they did however said they wont take any legal responsibility for it claiming they already settled with the victims during the peace trinity in the 60's which is hard to believe but they were finally pushed to at least open a fund for female victims for South Korea relates and descendants of Comfort Women
They've never apologised in a proper and sincere way to the victims and the Prime minister and politicians in Japan visit Yaskuni shrine each year where they honour 2.5m Japan's war dead including excited war criminals. Need not say more how deceptively blind Japanese are about their sins.
@@sweee4586 Let's blame that to their religion, shall we? They have 2 religion they'd believe in: Shintoism and Budhism. Both are giving significance to having power and be a 'god' - achieving high. Hence, the suicidal cases. _Japan is fvcked up, bro. I don't know where to start with it._
Lauren can we be friends i also think like this oneee
What Japan did to Korea is a colonization, NOT a war. And as for colonization, not only Japan but also the other ex-great powers, EVEN GERMANY, have neither apologized nor compensated for their past colonizations. Lauren, you need to learn more basic things about it.
If only they used WIx none of this would've happened

Defeated North? That would imply South won war which was not the case. Nobody won and it was just a sad war that could have been avoided. Stop with propaganda and speak facts.
THat's totally true. If the south side win, how could the 38th line unchanged. Stupid propaganda
The North invaded and fought to have control of SOUTH Korea. The south prevented that, therefore the South did win and prevented the North from taking over their country. But yes all war is sad
@@RealityHurts923
North also prevented American invasion and capitulation from so both North and South prevented their ultimate defeat from one another which in definition is called stalemate and not true victory for any side.
There has been no peace treaty and the war is still active and ongoing there was a ceasefire signed that was all
To be fair, they're trying to fit the entire North/South Korean history in 9 minutes. If I recall, NK invaded SK and with the help of the Americans the South was able to push back into the NK territory. However, as NK was pushed closer to the Chinese border, the Chinese entered the war and assisted the NKs. There was a lot of back and forth until armistice was signed. While they may not have disclosed the entire truth, I doubt they had any ill intention with their statements.
If South Korea brings kpop inside North Korea, I think they'll stop with all this
Because the entire of NKorea would kill themselves
Daddy
Dank Matter I used to listen to K-pop 5 years ago but I stopped now it sucks nowadays
They tried.. they also played kpop songs at border and this actually influenced some n.koreans to escape
They did have a kpop concert in North Korea, a lot of the north koreans at the concert looked disgusted lol

"As some historian say that Japanese treated them(Koreans) like a second class citizens" is a serious understatement for the human rights violation and the effort in crushing and eradicating traditional cultures and the language. All countries who faced annexation by Japan prior to the liberation in WW-2 could attest treacherous period of time they experienced under their rule.
all of weak were victims of stronger in jungle law of that time.
Well said. It is shocking this was said in the video and is a major error that needs to be fixed. Typical Western ignorance.
Your right,
Japan treated Koreans like dirt on their shoes
and even now in 2019. it still hurts.
@Madalin Grama economic development during the Japanese colonization can be said to have laid the foundation for future growth in several respects. And reason of current Japan Korean relationship is due to the Korean government's violence of International law of 1965 treaty between Japan and Korea
Japan just went for revenge. As stated Korea was part of imperial china back then.
Wow you completely missed how Japan ruled over Korea...and what type of hellish shit we went through.
3:43
@@user-tq8vd2xj6z yeah I know. They didn't go into detail.
One of my problems with the video is that they didn't get the original 38th parallel border right. Instead, when they explained the 38th parallel border, they show someone drawing the current one. before the war, the border was a straight horizontal line.
The video was mostly about why Korea is split, not how Korea was under Japan's rule.
Thought they should make a separate video of that, barely any videos out there about Korea under Japan's rule.
2:10 Wow! Japan had computers already in 1880!
the South Korea and North Korea is only one.. divided only by politics. they will become 1 unified Korea one day. the Same with unified Germany.
Beautiful dream-er... Wait unto meeee
The only reason East and West Germany reunified is because the East German economy collapsed, there was a mass uprising, and Eric Honecker (the East German dictator) and the Stasi (the East German secret police) fled for their lives.
West Germany then swept in and took everything over in order to prevent a humanitarian crisis and lawless failed-state from forming on their border.
(It was essentially a "peaceful conquest" )
That's what would have to happen for the 2 Koreas to unite like Germany did.
Minus the violence
Germany will start WW3. I know it.
Wow, it's like youre telling us how simple it would be to tell kim to Give up his regime, and just become a mere politician. Coz obviously, a country would only survive as a capitalist. Regime would never sacrifice its power thats been going for decades. He even brainwashed its people that anything they have right now is because of their surpreme leader.
5:04
The 38th parallel wasn't like that during the division of the borders, it only changed after the Korean War. The original borders of North and South Korea was just a straight line.
Can we all just appreciate for a second how smooth that transition was from this video's topic to the advertisement at the very end
Yeah, it sure did give me a "wait, what?" moment.
🤣🤣🤣
I was thinking the sane thing 🤣🤣🤣🤣
True
*watches video intensely for a history test* “-but one thing we guarantee, is you won’t hate wix.” *throws table*
I'm from Korea, the japanese treated koreans so bad that when the japanese said they wouldn't put you in jail if you agreed that korea was supposed to be japanese, but many people (pretty much everyone) decided jail was better than that.
Chinese here, can relate.
So many errors in this video. Use of wrong flags and national boundaries of the past not represented when discussing that era. Depicting Imperial China with communist flag and Mao suits, Tsarist Russia with soviet buildings. End of WWII also fumbled.
Tim Carpenter agreed
According to this Britain wasn’t an ally
About the US protecting Korea part... Here are 3 reason why North-Korea does not like the US:
1.- In 1866 a steam boat (General Sherman) was sent to sack Korean Royal Tombs
2.- Shinmiyangyo (1871) Noth-Korea did not want foreing ships traveling their waters, so the US felt the need to send an expedition that ended killing 200 people only 3 of them from the US
3.- The hostilities between URSS & USA , took the life of more than 5 million people in North-Korea, 20% of them were killed by the US air force with bombs and napalm
The simple truth is, Rusia and USA, (comunism and capitalism) split Korea
Alberto Mora URRS xd
You brought up 2 examples from 150 years ago. Your 3rd example was from 70 years ago. Everyone who experienced that is long dead. A World War ended and no one was going to start up a new one fighting over one small country that had no army, allies or resources. The world isn't fair, if you try to carve everything up equally and give everyone a fair share it's called Communism. It never works out once scaled to a certain size.
@@DoomFinger511 if you don't want this guy to carve them up, can you make South Koreans shut up for crimes of Japanese imperial army on Korean during the WW2? For sure you can't! You see those Koreans people today are still suffering from this facts.
@@vattanaktv5082 Kim Jong-un will never be able to expand North Korea. More then likely there will be some "Berlin wall falling" moment in the distant future and South Korea will assimilate North Korea. They'll still end up getting used by more powerful counties.

I'm a South Korean and I want North Korea and South Korea to be reunited but there are so many problems for us to reunite..
Never ever have i thought that you could slide that ad so smoothly.
India went through something similar. Overnight the country was split into India and Pakistan and people had to cross the borders. It was the toughest time for Indians. Although it may never be possible now for our countries to unify, and there being not much point in it. The pakisthanis have indian roots and culture. They'll always be our brothers and sisters.
Yea sadly there is only more division in recent years through religion politics
I wish that they would reunite. Both countries have one nation and great potential to doing big in our world.
The fact it was America who thought of the idea to split the country 😞😒
It was the most likely out come similar to the splitting of Germany.
Truman apparently though it was a BRILLIANT idea to ask Stalin to help with Japan and allow him to occupy northern Korea in return. SURELY he wouldn't abuse his power and force communism on them! /s What were our leaders thinking in 1945?!
lol they were dealing with the soviets who was another superpower at that time did you even watch the video?
America is pretty much the only reason why South Korea is independent now. Without the US involvement, we would now have one big North Korea. I think their involvement made the outcome better for everyone, at least this way, less Koreans have to suffer the North Korean regiment.
FINALLY the video I was looking for....thank you for not just reading a korean war history book, and actually what caused the war and the complexities behind it .
No wonder now Korea has a rule at a certain age have to go to the ARMY
Most countries had national service after ww2. I’m from the uk and my grandad and his brother both did national service in the 50s. Korea didn’t get rid of theirs, I don’t know why (haven’t got to that lesson yet in gcse history, we’ve only done one lesson of it) but it’s probably due to not having a large enough regular army (whereas in the uk we do and ditched national service after we did)
My dad is Chinese and my mom is Korean. I was born in the US. But I wish that North and South could trust each other. And that'll take a long time. But if the two countries are reunified, think how much happier the people would be. Especially North Koreans who don't even know what's happening outside their country.
Thats a pipe dream. We are getting further and further away from that generation while the younger generation don’t care about reunification. More importantly, South Korea is an economic power. If both Koreas were to reunite, South Korea would have to pay for everything. At this point, it doesnt make sense for them to reunite with North Korea.
That’s a bit naive. Ship has sailed awhile ago, sadly. 😢
"America wanted Korea to be democratic so they disregarded them completely and installed a leader of their choice."
Koreans to americans : you keep using that word but i dont think you know what it means
This guy is promoting his country without agreeing to their faults
Looool so true 🤣
@Leader of Bears ikr
True, but if Americans didn’t do what they did, then the Soviets, China and Japan would’ve done way worse. At least now South Korea gets to be independent.
Because people didn't know if communism or capitalism was a better idea.

Master Chief a combination of both would probably be best
I love how they forgot to mention that the reason the we withdrew to the demarcation line and called for a cease fire was because we came too close to the Chinese border and the Chinese pushed us and our allies all the way back. We pretty much lost that war and to save face setup a cease fire.
That begs the question, why didn't the US declare war on China? and why didn't the US drop the bomb to finish the North Korean regime once and for all which would've saved the lives of so many people down the road?
Why didn't Korea have a say to the 38th Parallel?.. So many people were affected by the decisions others made for them..
the same way like how Africa and the Middle East were parted, they were just colonized, hence uninvolved.
Losers can't say shit. Power does the talking in war!
Grace Park at that time who were these korean leaders who didn't took part on what's messing up in their country and just let the US and the USSR/China and the UN didn't interfere either and yes you're right
Because it would have complicated things. Both powers just wanted to move on and deal with other issues from the aftermath of WWII. Russia and the US both fought on the same side so neither one could say the other didn't deserve compensation. Korea was just spoils of the war. Korea was screwed no matter what, if the Axis powers won then Japan would own them instead.
It was always white people got involved in everything, ugh. Colonisation to this. SMH
I didn’t know how angry this would make me lol
I want to correct you on some things. First, the 38th Parallel and the DMZ has different border. After the war, the border changed from 38th Parallel to the DMZ. It's not the same. Second, technically, they're still in war until now since no peace treaty signed. So there's no winner in Korean War. Third, there's speculation that the SK made the first attack by invading Haeju near the 38th parallel.
This is just disrespect yOU DONT KNOW WHY WE SPLIT ME AND SOUTH KOREA WERE DATING THEN WE HAD SOME ISSUES AND ITS TOO SAD TO EXPLAIN

How come Germany was also divided between the Soviets and the capitalists but somehow got united in the end? Because for a long time living conditions in eastern Germany was very similar to North Korea in comparison to the west that was controlled by America. Can you make a video on the fall of Berlin Wall and how Germany didn’t turn out the way Korea did?
I know your comment is 2 years old now, lol. But I think the fall of Berlin wall was an accident. Apparently, the soldiers misheard a command they received and thought that it said “destroy the wall” so they began destroying it. The wall was never actually meant to be taken down.
Damn that transition into the ad was so smooth

I know this is like SUPER simplified history but I have learned so much more watching your videos than any semester long class, Lol
1:09 those Korean words are wrong. No Korean would say that to each other on the streets...unless you're on the phone and answering it
@J.P. Mallick it means 'Hello', but they only use it when they answer a phone.
i was just about to say that.
@@darshanakashyap1875 I've also seen it used when people are calling out to someone but they don't know who. Like when they enter a dark room and they think someone is hiding in there. So it seems to be like "Hello? (Is someone there and if so, who?)"
for weebs, 여보세요 yeoboseyo is equivalent to japanese moshi moshi
여보세요 = Ahoy; Hello; "(You) (over) there, look (here)". This is what you would use to call someone over from a distance, and it is used when you answer the phone. So yes, it is wrong.

3:54 not only they treated us like second class citizens (which is mild), they tried to erase our history and culture by burning down ancient historic buildings and completely banning the Korean language to be spoken all over the peninsula. What's more saddening is significant Koreans lost their lives due to oppression, forced labor, forced conscription, and harsh living conditions. Additionally, there were incidents such as the "comfort women" system and forced medical experiments that resulted in further suffering and loss of life. I think you forgot to mention that;) @theinfograpicshow
I find this video very informative and educating. Well done.
The 38th parallel was a straight line though, the current Korean borders were created as the result of the armistice, not before.
One fact that makes Korea angry is that the Soviet ran into war with Japan only few weeks before WW2 ended. They declared war on Japan right before Japan got nuclear-bombed and surrendered. That's partly because the Soviets knew Japan's defeat is obvious and they wanted some crops out of east asia after the war. But the reason why Soviet did not declare war on Japan at the early times of the war in the first place is something else. They did not want war with Japan initially. Germany was enough for them. But when the war was closing to its end, the US and the allies found landing on Japan was too risky. Japan's defeat was so obvious, but Japan did not surrender believing the Japanese people's samurai souls are so strong that it can overcome economical and mechanical inferiority. They kept the war longer and longer than they were capable of. That's why the US finally chose to bomb them with nuclear weapons. But the decision they made before the nuclear bombs was making Soviet declare war on Japan so that they could fear another additional enemy, and then surrender to the US to protect itself from communist Soviet. So Japan's irresponsible and irrational hesitation of surrender made Soviet invasion right before the end of the war, making an excuse to the Soviet to demand something in Korean peninsula. So Japan is partially responsible for the division.
What is worse is that Japan tried to destroy institutions and manufacturing basis they built on the Korean peninsula as much as possible before they surrender and leave the peninsula. Reducing future risk of Korea becoming strong and invading Japan is understandable, but not acceptable. Colonizing a neighbor country massacring people and drafting all the golds out of it devastated the country. When they leave the country, they destroy everything because they hate them? That's worst. Korea started from the bottom after the Korean war. Unlike how Japan claims they contributed to Korea's modernization, Korea started from stone age all over again in the 60s.
3:28 this part is boring for some foreigners, but as a Korean, it is very sad to skip.
In 1894, there was a revolution of the lower class peasants in Korea. At that time, the royal family of Joseon (the pre-Korean kingdom) had no power to stop it, so they requested the Qing dynasty army. For Japan, this was a great opportunity to send troops to Joseon. Because in the past treaties between Japan and Joseon, it was stated that troops could be stationed for the safety of Japanese residents in Chosun.
However, the'Donghak' revolutionary army knew the danger of this and dissolved it. The Joseon Dynasty's royal family requested that the foreign army that lost their purpose to return to their home country, but they did not keep it. The Japanese forces occupied the royal palace, kidnapped the king, and demanded a policy of modernization. It was the mistake of the king, who failed to resolve the conflict with his own people and tried to push it down with foreign troops.
Afterwards, Japanese troops attacked ships carrying the Qing Dynasty's troops in Joseon by surprise. After that, the battle between the Qing Dynasty and the Japanese army was automatically fought in the land of Joseon. because of the treaty and request of foolish royal family, we could not prevent the wars of other countries from being fought in our country. and they both have the purpose to colonize Joseon, so we had no profit from that war. It makes me resent as a Korean to pass through this sad history in just a few seconds in the video.
I guess If South and North Korea are together they would be so powerful

What the video failed to mention is that in late 1947 the US and the UN called for free elections in both Koreas so that they would eventually reunify and be independent after the USSR/US withdrawal, but the Soviets refused
btw silla did NOT last untill 1945.

Goryeo: 918AD ~ 1392AD
Joseon: 1392 AD ~ 1897AD

JustAbrit hope ur grandfather doing ok I couldn’t imagine having to fight in ww2 then years later fight in the Korean war
Why?
Wow I hope ur grandpa is ok I can’t imagine fighting in WW2 then the Korean War!
Everyone in korea in that age and alittle below are still messed up. I feel it when i talk to them, its too sad
The Korean citizens from either side don’t hate each other. The South always wants to help the North. It’s the leaders that hate each other
that segue into Wix was F*king Pro Level!
What triggered me was the modern military uniforms and buildings being used
Also them using modern maps for 19 century almost gave me cancer.
Oh my god
Yah I was confused for a while
Man, just trying to understand how the Korean people feel after having experienced all this? What brave and tolerant people. ❤ to you all Korea ❤❤❤
You could have mentionned that for a good chunk of the Cold War, the South Korean government was pretty much as dictatorial as the North… a haven of democracy and freedom it was not.
Martial law in SK only ended in 1987, IIRC.
right. But we fought back, and North Korea did not. This is the difference between them and us.
I’m here after watching crash landing on you

Descendants of the Sun was amazing and the brotherly relationship between the main lead and that North Korean army man was really cool. (Sorry I watched it a year ago and forgot the names. There were 3 army men, the main lead, second lead, and the North Korean man. )
Soon joong ki ? He's main lead of another drama named Vincenzo
1:11 made me laugh a little bit xD. I'm not Korean, but I'm currently studying Korean, and just so you're aware, "여보세요" is only used when saying "Hello?" on the phone.
"안녕하세요" is the generic, polite "Hello." or "안녕" for short if you're speaking casually.
It's a small point, but it'd be a bit awkward in spoken Korean. It'd kinda be like the equivalent of someone walking up to you in person and saying "Who is it?" instead of "Hello."
👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼True!!!
They didn't mention how Filipinos fought with South Korea
So basically Korea is surrounded by
1. China
2. Russia
3. Japan
Noice 😁
After WW2, winners splitted Germany into two countries, but they did't split Japan into two. They should have diveided North and South Japan. Why bothered Koreans?
How would you split it? Why would it be split? It didn't get invaded, and the problem with Korea was that it had no leadership and it bordered with communist countries that wanted to expand.
Wix is too expensive for an unestablished writer looking for a platform, and means to make a living... I regret trying.
No one:
Kim Jong-Un: *-__-*
How the Japanese treated the Koreans is VERY VERY VERY understated
The comment section is it self a history book i got to know a lots of things i never knew🙂🙂

I am very impressed by the economic development of South Korea
Since their ancient kingdoms they were split. Goguryeo silla and baekje
ᄋᄋᄋ Was it not called Goryeo before it was Joseon?
ᄋᄋᄋ ahhh okay thanks... that makes sense actually as its also spelt Koryo.
I knew it, *it was Russia's fault.*
1:19 it is not hello, it means "hello" when you call someone
There are two ways to say hello in korean when u r saying hello to a friend irl u say annyeonghaseyo and when u r saying hello while calling ur friend, u say yeoboseyo
The way that plug at the end was slid in was hilarious
I'm a Korean who live in Seoul. I think Korea wouldn't have been divided if Japan had surrendered earlier or later because either the USA or USSR could have taken control of the whole peninsula. Maybe the Korean protesters might have won against the Japanese.
+The DMZ (unintentionally) got protected from human beings for almost 7 decades, which made the place to become the home for many endangered species.
Yes. If Japan had surrendered to the United States early, South Korea would not exist and would have become North Korea, a puppet state of the Soviet Union.
u got it wrong in the korean war the usa and south korea didn’t “defeat” the north no one ended up winning the war
Interesting how other countries felt it was their right to take over another country back then. Very arrogant
Random guy: so where are you from?
Me: I’m Korean
Random guy: North or South
Me: 😐😐😐😐😐😐
The information was great, but the host really needs to pause a little bit. He is hasty!
zeke ekez He also sugarcoated way too many things. Real life is brutal and merciless, please depict it realistically when making a historic video @INFOGRAPHICS
"Has some kind of evil dictator" He is an evil dictator!
Russia and the US should have had nothing to do with South Korea.
