		Empires predate the Romans by several hundred years: Egypt, for example, created an empire in the 16th century BC by invading and then incorporating Nubia and the ancient city-states of the Levant.
		Empire contrasts with the example of a federation, where a large, multi-ethnic state — or even an ethnically homogeneous one like Japan or a small area like Switzerland — relies on mutual agreement amongst its component political units which retain a high degree of autonomy.
		Empires cannot reliably be explained as a result of the cost/benefit analysis of the elites.

		Korean culture developed as a merging of emerging Korean traditions (for example in terms of language) that were blended with the ideas and knowledge borrowed from China.
		This was in spite of the fact that the Korean spoken language is very different from Chinese; Korean and Chinese are not products of the same language family; Korean is related to the Ural-Altaic family of languages that includes Turkish, Finnish, Mongolian and Japanese.

		In a proposal opposed by nearly all Koreans, the United States and the Soviet Union agreed to temporarily occupy the country as a trusteeship with the zone of control demarcated along the 38th Parallel.
		The purpose of this trusteeship was to establish a Korean provisional government which would become "free and independent in due course."[1] Though elections were scheduled, the two superpowers backed different leaders and two states were effectively established, each of which claimed sovereignty over the whole Korean peninsula.
		The North failed in several assassination attempts on South Korean leaders, most notably in 1968, 1974 and 1983; tunnels were frequently found under the DMZ and war nearly broke out over the ax-murder incident at Panmunjeom in 1976.
