1953 – 2008 Armistice
The Korean peninsula is the only place in the world where the interests and security concerns of the United States, China, Japan, and Russia directly intersect. Yet, despite the pressures of the major powers, the independent-minded Koreans (North and South) have demanded to take their future into their own hands as never before.

North Korea
North Korea developed its own brand of communist Confucianism. It remains militarily powerful but economically isolated. Since the end of the Cold War it has lost the lavish subsidies it formerly received from the Soviet Union. And its once-close relationship with China has eroded as China becomes more interested in markets than Marxism. In the mid-1990s North Korea turned to the outside world for humanitarian assistance. Famine and poverty plague North Korea, periodically forcing it into a corner. Recently the North has taken small steps to reconcile with the South, while using the threat of its nuclear capability to gain concessions from the United States.

South Korea
South Korea is an economic powerhouse, with the world's eleventh-largest economy and one of the world's primary producers of ships, automobiles, electronics, steel, and other goods.
Its gross domestic product approaches one trillion dollars, and its per capita income is about $20,000 per year, twenty times that of North Korea.
