		Provinces (Do) have been the primary administrative division of Korea since the mid Goryeo dynasty in the early 11th century, and were preceded by provincial-level divisions (Ju and Mok) dating back to Unified Silla, in the late 7th century.
		In Korean, Korea is referred to as "Chosŏn" (조선; 朝鮮) in the North and "Hanguk" (한국; 韓國) in the south.

	Background Essay no. 119 \| Korean History and Political Geography \| AskAsia.org
		For some 250 years Korea was at peace and internally stable (despite growing peasant unrest from about 1800), but from the perspective of the Europeans and Americans who encountered Korea in the nineteenth century, Korea was an abnormally isolated country, a “hermit kingdom” as it came to be known to Westerners at the time.
		Japan, China, and Russia were the main rivals for influence on Korea in the last quarter of the nineteenth century, and after defeating China and Russia in war between 1895 and 1905, Japan became the predominant power on the Korean peninsula.
		The main regional division is between the Cholla area of the southwest and the Kyongsang area of the southeast.

	Division of Korea - Definition, explanation
		The division of Korea along the 38th parallel was decided in America before the Korean people even knew about the capitulation of the Japanese empire.
		As a consequence Korea should be administered by the great powers until they reached "maturity." In December 1943 Roosevelt suggested to Stalin that 40 years might be enough to educate the countries.
		North Korea`s government is reliant on the foreign aid which feeds most of North Korea`s people; at the same time, potential social and political instability caused by the influx of outside influence remains a constant worry for North Korea`s government.

	Division of Korea - Galbijim
		The Soviet forces would arrive in Korea before the American forces, but they occupied only the northern part of the peninsula, halting their advance at the 38th parallel, which was in keeping with their agreement with the United States.
		South Korea's government came to be dominated by its military and a relative peace was punctuated by border skirmishes and assassination attempts.
		The apportionment of responsibility for the division is much debated, although the older generation of South Koreans generally blame the North's communist zeal for instigating the Korean War.

	Korea's Partition: Soviet-American Pursuit of Reunification, 1945-1948
		Kathryn Weathersby signaled that this shift was well underway in 1993 when she concluded that the war's origins "lie primarily with the division of Korea in 1945 and the polarization of Korean politics that resulted from.
		Arguably, Korea's division at the 38th parallel as World War II ended was the most important event in the modern history of that nation.
		As one US journalist wrote, it was "better to have the division between the Communists and freedom drawn in Korea rather than, say, between North and South Dakota or at the Mississippi."[61] And the Soviets viewed the 38th parallel as preferable to the Tumen River--the border between Korea and the Russian Maritime Provinces.

		By dangling before its interlocutors the possibility of denuclearization, it is actually North Korea that has been assuming over the past 20 years the role of the cheerful shepherd waving a phantom carrot before the very nose of the docile donkey that is the international community.
		Now, North Korea's self-invited debut on the world's nuclear stage calls for the US and China to take another drastic step to change the situation, one that is intrusive enough to cauterize the root cause of the comprehensive North Korea problem.
		In the late 19th century, China saw Korea as the "antidote to the poison that is Japan", and since 1945 China has taken advantage of the division of Korea in safeguarding its geostrategic interests in the region and beyond.

	Modern History Sourcebook: Report of The United Nations Commission on Korea, 1950
		This artificial division was consolidated by the exclusion from North Korea of the United Nations Temporary Commission, which had been charged by the General Assembly to observe the holding of elections on a democratic basis in the whole of Korea.
		After the consolidation of the division of Korea, propaganda and hostile activities on the part of the North Korean authorities accentuated tension which, in turn, stiffened the attitude of the Government and people of the Republic of Korea, and even further prejudiced such possibility, of unification by negotiation as might have remained.
		The division of Korea added to the economic difficulties that had arisen at the end of the Japanese domination, and made it most difficult for the Republic of Korea to become self-supporting.

	Monthly Review Press \| Korea by Martin Hart-Landsberg
		According to Cold War history, South Korea emerged from the conflict to create a prosperous and dynamic economy, while U.S. troops served as the nation's peacekeepers.
		By careful scrutiny of U.S. policy in Asia and the history of Korean struggles for independence, Hart-Landsberg identifies the true motivations and origins of U.S. aims in Korea, showing how U.S. foreign policy opposed popular movements in the South and actually sought the division of the peninsula.
		That policy set in motion separate political processes in North and South Korea that resulted in a cultural tragedy for the Korean people and turned the Korean peninsula into a potentially explosive trouble spot.
