Since the end of the Second World War the Korean peninsula has been split in two. South Korean is a westernised economic powerhouse exporting countless mobile phones while North Korea is one of the most isolated regimes on the planet, shunned by most for threatening to export a nuclear warhead atop a missile. So to continue my “Why is X country not part of Y country?” series I’m asking the question of how there became two Koreas, before current events escalate and we see the second Korean War put an end to one or other of the nations.
