Why Are There Two Koreas?

Ew, ads! Want to see this without ads, earlier, along with exclusive content? Go to: nebula.tv/videos/cogito-why-i...
One name for Korea in Korean is Chosun, land of the morning calm. But if you know anything about the Korean Peninsula... then you’ll know that it is anything but calm.
For over a thousand years Korea was a united and culturally distinct nation. With one people, speaking one language. But today there are two Koreas. One Korea is a wealthy and vibrant democracy exporting phones, cars, and K-Pop while the other devolved into a totalitarian nuclear monarchy ruled by the iron-fisted Kim Dynasty.
So why are there two Koreas? Who divided them? And how can you win an all expenses paid trip to Hawaii? Well...Let’s Find out!

    One fascinating aspect of this division that I learned of is that during the most recent Winter Olympics the North and South teams competed together. For the women's hockey team, this presented a unique problem. The Southern team incorporates a lot of English words into their communications (pass, shoot, etc) while the Northern team used exclusively Korean terms for their communications. It was just a fact that I found interesting.

    Great video. As a Korean I really appreciate it. I hope this videos makes Americans realize that South Korea doesn't "thank" America for "helping" them fight the Korean War. America and the USSR created this war. You don't stab someone and give them painkillers and expect them to thank you, but it's a common US tactic. Also, see 7:01. I hope you realize how careless and unethical America was in "installing capitalism". Rhee Seung Man, the first president of S Korea was a puppet installed by America to fight against communism. In that process, America murdered Kim Gu, a heroic leader of Korea at the time, to make this happen. see 7:08 Because without him dead, you cannot make a no-name American puppet become the president. The following dictatorships and coup d'etat also show that capitalism vs communism isn't exactly good vs evil. Not now, but especially not then. There were tons of anti-communist dictatorships that slaughtered ppl. I am saying this because the media often portrays communism and totalitarisn dictatorship as same. USSR at least cared about North Korea. They wanted the North to succeed with communism. US didn't give a fuck about the South. Please respect Korea, both north and south. Please criticize the North correctly with the knowledge of its history. Please appreciate the South's pop culture while respecting its painful history.

    It's amazing how much disparity has been caused by colonial powers drawing borders on a map... to either take advantage of the instability caused by grouping very different ethnicities and religious sects together (just look at the borders drawn in the Middle East)... Or done with no consideration on how those new borders could cause global problems in the future (like the Korean border).

    Man.. I spent two years in Korea (fun fact: I turned 21 there as well) and was actively ignoring all of the history lessons we were taught and spent most of my time partying and just enjoying the scenery as any naive young American with too much money on his hands would do. After watching this I feel embarrassed and remorseful for my lack of respect for their culture and history that we played such a heavy part in, especially with it being so recent! The only thing that intrigued me was being told that none of the trees there were over 50 years old because of the war but I just thought it was an interesting tidbit.. not a testament to the tumultuous and abhorrent bloodshed of yesteryear. In my opinion, this video exemplifies the strength of humanity. The Korean people I had the pleasure of conversing and hanging out with were very optimistic, happy, relaxed, and incredibly welcoming to me and my other battle buddies, and the things mentioned in this video weren’t being complained about even remotely close to how my brothers and sisters that are Afro descendent still do about slavery 150+ years ago. C’est la vie 🤷🏾‍♂️

    As a german, who´s home country was separated for similar reasons i can emphasize with the Korean people. However, our situation was very different because Germany didn't´t have a civil war following WW2. Videos like this are important, because they show us that despite what the mainstream opinion might be, in a war there are no right and wrong sides. Especially a civil war. I´m just wondering how the two Koreas will ever be reunited and wether such a thing would be possible without another military conflict. Hopefully...
