Nuclear Korean War

Korea remains divided between North and South Korea, who are still technically at war since the 1950-1953 Korean War ended without a peace treaty. Recent tensions flared up when North Korea claimed large military drills by the US and South Korea near the border were a threat, with the North Korean prime minister threatening to wipe out South Korean and US forces if they crossed the border. While North Korea has about a dozen nuclear bombs, the recurring conflicts show a lack of understanding between the sides, and true peace will only come through open communication and understanding different perspectives.

Nuclear Korean War Unsettled Korea is a small, strategically important, and a politically divided country.

Its name is derived from Koryo, the dynasty that ruled the peninsula from 913-1392. Currently, Korea has been divided into two: the Communist- controlled Democratic People s Republic of Korea (North Korea) and the U.S.-supported Republic of Korea (South Korea). Recently, these two nations had beaten the drums of war. The two sides are still technically at war since their 1950-1953 conflict ended not in a peace treaty. The recent conflict began when North Korea claimed that the U.S. and South Korea conducted their biggest military drill near the borders between North and South. The said drill was a sign of posing threat and a plan to invade the North. The North Korean prime minister had the response that they shall wipe out South Koreans and the U.S. army if ever they ll cross even slightly the borders. Moreover, the South continued their drills which cost the life of some Koreans since they triggered the defense of North Korean. It also noted that North Korea has about a dozen of nuclear bombs. The reoccurrence of Korean conflict showed misunderstandings. It was wrong that North Korea jumped to conclusion without getting much word from the South about it. It was the same thing for South Korea. South Korea and U.S. could ve been open-minded of the fact that their drill had affected the activities of the North Korean villagers. In order to achieve peace we need to understand each other. Communication is a must for understanding. According to Ralph Waldo Emerson, peace cannot be achieved through violence; it can only be attained through understanding. Filipinos should take a lesson from what Korea has encountered. The Philippines should remember that violence won t do good to anyone.
