Korea gained independence in August 1945 as Japan unconditionally surrendered at the end of WWII, although
Korea was split into South and North. On June 25, 1950, North Korea invaded South Korea, starting a bloody war
lasting more than 3 years.
Life in Korea extends special thanks to

creating this Spotlight. They provided much of the content and many of the pictures. You can arrange a
