 <span>Korea had been under Japanese domination since 1910, and had been very isolationist for most of the centuries before then. During the Japanese occupation, Japan tried to eliminate Korea as a separate country - suppressing their local government and their language, forcing Koreans to take Japanese names, destroying or stealing hundreds of cultural artifacts. When Japan surrendered in 1945 it was forced to give up conquered territories, including Korea. 

Hundreds of thousands of Koreans died during WWII, as forced laborers and conscripted soldiers. Perhaps as many as 100,000 Korean girls and women were forced into sexual slavery as "comfort women". By the end of the war, more than 800,000 Japanese colonists were occupying Korea, though the majority of those returned to Japan after the surrender. 

When Soviet Russia entered the war against Japan in the few days before Japan surrendered, it claimed the right to occupy some Japanese territories during the transition period to what was supposed to be home rule for former Japanese conquests. Between 1945 and 1948, while the United Nations was trying to help the Koreans set up an independent government, the Soviet Russians were working hard in their occupation zone to set up a communist government in their own image - this led to two Koreas, North and South, which led to the Korean War and the current stalemate between the two Koreas. The partition of Korea into North and South is a direct result of the end of World War II.</span>

After WW2, Korea was split into 2 countries, North and South. The North had  a pro-soviet government, while the south had a pro-democracy government. Even though this solved a problem for the superpowers, it did not solve the problem for the country itself, as many constantly wanted the peninusula to be under one type of government. 

This is the start to the Korean War

As you are helping your newlywed friends move into their new home, you hear them arguing as they try to edge the king-sized bed
Semmy [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is "The fundamental attribution error".

Explanation:

The fundamental attribution error is the human tendency to emphasize personal characteristics instead of analyzing the contextual or situational explanation for other people's behavior.

<u>For example, when someone fails a test, the other students may think that their classmate failed because he is lazy or he didn't study enough and not because the questions of the test were wrongly formulated</u>.

In this particular case, the first attribution that one does to the jam is that the couple did it because they are bad communicators, only because they were arguing moments before, <u>rather than attributing the failure to get the frame to through the doorway to the possibility that it might be too big for the doorway.</u>

In conclusion, this is an example of the fundamental attribution error.
