502: Nuevo Orden Mundial

History of the Korean Peninsula and Reunification

The historical context of the Korean conflict is reviewed, including the violent Japanese occupation and the post-WWII division at the 38th parallel by the US and USSR. The potential for reunification is compared to the German model, noting the significant economic and cultural hurdles involved. South Korea is viewed as strong enough to eventually absorb the North, similar to West Germany's role in Europe.
