History

During the Cold war, there were constant threats and tensions, but never a direct confrontation between the two opposing superpowers: the US and the URSS, which leaded the Western capitalist bloc and the Eastern communist bloc respectively.

Although both countries had access to nuclear weapons, those from the US were even more sophisticated. <u>This is why president Eisenhower could use the threat of massive retaliation to prevent attacks.</u> He claimed that the US would respond to any attack by retaliating in much greater force. Such attacks, involving nuclear weapons, would led to destruction of the two nations and the whole world. This is why a direct attack was avoided and, instead, the two powers participated in proxy wars as opponents, such as in the Korean War or the Vietnam War.

In what ways did the two koreans grown apart
UNO [17]
North and South Korea have grown apart as a result of their vastly differing ideologies. North Korea is a communist country with very strict restrictions on the movement of its citizens.  The North Korean regime is well-known for its cruelty. South Korea, on the other hand, is a democratic country with an open-market economy. In a nutshell, both North and South Korea have radically different political and economic systems. They have been two nations for over sixty years.
