At this latitude the sun is visible for 14 hours, 48 minutes during the summer solstice and 9 hours, 32 minutes during the winter solstice. Starting at the Prime Meridian heading eastward, the 38th parallel north passes through:. Japan had ruled the Korean peninsula between and When Japan surrendered in Augustthe 38th parallel was established as the boundary between Soviet and American occupation zones. This parallel divided the Korean peninsula roughly in the middle. Inthis parallel became the boundary between the Democratic People's Republic of Korea North Korea and the Republic of Korea South Koreaboth of which claim to be the government of the whole of Korea. On 25 Juneafter a series of cross-border raids and gunfire from both the Northern and the Southern sides, the North Korean Army crossed the parallel and invaded South Korea. After the Armistice agreement was signed on July 27,a new line was established to separate North Korea and South Korea. The demarcation The Two Koreas A Contemporary History 3rd edition crosses the 38th parallel, from the southwest to the northeast. The Demarcation Line is often confused with 38th parallel, but as can be seen in the image of the map, the two are not the same.

Seth - Google книги Michael J. In this comprehensive yet compact book, Michael J. Seth surveys Korean history from Neolithic times to the present. He explores the origins and development of Korean society, politics, and its still little-known cultural heritage from their inception to the two Korean states of today. Telling the remarkable story of the origins and evolution of a society that borrowed and adopted from abroad, Seth describes how various The Two Koreas A Contemporary History 3rd edition peoples in the peninsula came together to form one of the world's most distinctive communities. He shows how this ancient, culturally and ethnically homogeneous society was wrenched into the world of late-nineteenth-century imperialism, fell victim to Japanese expansionism, and then became arbitrarily divided into two opposed halves, North and South, after World War II. Tracing the past seven decades, the book explains how the two Koreas, with their deeply different political and social systems and geopolitical orientations, evolved into sharply contrasting societies. South Korea, after an unpromising start, became one of the few postcolonial developing states to enter the ranks of the first world, with a globally competitive economy, a democratic political system, and a cosmopolitan and dynamic culture. North Korea, by contrast, became one of the world's most totalitarian and isolated societies, a nuclear power with an impoverished and famine- stricken population. Seth describes and analyzes the radically different and historically unprecedented trajectories of the two Koreas, formerly one tight-knit society. Throughout, he adds a rich dimension by placing Korean history into broader global perspective and by including primary readings from each era. All readers looking for a balanced, knowledgeable history will be richly rewarded with this clear and concise book. Ch01 The Origins.

  • Beetles Attack! an Imported Leaf-Eating Bug Is Chewing up the Scenery from Moab to Salt Lake City
    Wednesday, March 11,2009 Beetles Attack! An imported leaf-eating bug is chewing up the scenery from Moab to Salt Lake City. By Stephen Dark When University of Utah biologist Kevin Hultine went down to where the Colorado River meets the Dolores at Dewey Bridge, just outside Moab, one afternoon in June 2006, he was shocked. Along the Colorado River, the dense, green thickets of tamarisk plants he had seen just a week before had turned brown. At first, he thought a local pest was killing them. “I had no idea it was something that was introduced,” Hultine says. The culprit, he learned, was a strain of beetle that federal scientists imported from Kazakhstan, a central-Asian country once part of the Soviet Union. They’d been released by Grand County’s weed-management department chief Tim Higgs. Tamarisk is an exotic invasive plant that has undeniably changed the landscape of the Southwestern United States. “It’s the principle invasive species that has caused damage to the health of the river system in the West,” says Tim Carlson, head of the Tamarisk Coalition, a Grand Junction, Colo.-based nonprofit dedicated to restoring native plant communities to riverbanks and flood plains. Introduced in the early 1800s to combat riverbank erosion, tamarisk then spread through the waterways of Utah, Arizona, California and New Mexico, choking out native plant species and making access to many rivers all but impossible. Moreover, it posed a significant fire risk because of its flammability. Tamarisk now covers 2 million acres in the Southwestern United States and Mexico.

Many men died and many more were wounded in a conflict which could have been avoided if the free world had not been ignorant of the ways of the Communists. Today, many years after the armored spearhead of Communism first drove across the 38th parallel, 350 ,0 0 0 men are still standing ready to repell that same enemy. It is hoped that this study will throw light on the errors which grew to war so that they might not be repeated at another time in a different place.

  • Introduction
    INTROdUCTION 1. In the footstep of Ecclesia in Asia Saint John Paul ii in the paragraph 9 of his post-synodal Exhortation Eccle - sia in Asia gave us a short synthesis of the history of the Church in the conti - nent under the title “the Church in Asia: past and present”. With this hand - book of Asian Church History we intend to offer students and readers a suit - able development of the essential data and intuitions we find in the post-syn - odal document. our purpose is principally academic. Hopefully, it should be a tool for teachers and students, but we do not exclude other possible readers, or consulters for a specific event or chapter of this rich and long history. in fact, as we know from history and experienced when we were there, the Christian presence in some parts of Africa and America is much more recent. instead, Asia is really the cradle of Christianity and the origins of many Asian communities are apostolic. We think especially of Middle East Churches and St. thomas’ Christians (india). Knowing that the majority of Asian students are non-native English speak - ers, we have tried to write our manual in a very simple language in order to facilitate its comprehension and use. Among our limitations we point to the lacking development of Protestant Missions that appear so abundant since the 19 th century, and deserve an ac - curate attention in the present moment of evangelization. instead we pre - sented the different oriental Churches with the ecumenical purpose of spreading their knowledge among Catholic public, and foster increased col - laboration.

    Within Limits The U.S. Air Force and the Korean War Wayne Thompson and Bernard C. Nalty Air Force History and Museums Program 1996 i Within Limits The U.S. Air Force and the Korean War Despite American success in preventing the conquest of South Korea by communist North Korea, the Korean War of 1950-1953 did not satisfy Americans who expected the kind of total victory they had experienced in World War II. In that earlier, larger war, victory over Japan came after two atomic bombs destroyed the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. But in Korea five years later, the United States limited itself to conven- tional weapons. Even after communist China entered the war, Americans put China off-limits to convention- al bombing as well as nuclear bombing. Operating within these limits, the U.S. Air Force helped to repel two invasions of South Korea while securing control of the skies so decisively that other United Nations forces could fight without fear of air attack. ii Invasion Before dawn on Sunday, June 25, 1950, communist North Korea attacked South Korea, storming across the improvised border that divided the peninsula into two countries. Some five years earlier, when Japan surrendered, the United States had proposed that American forces disarm Japanese forces in Korea south of the 38th parallel and Soviet troops perform the same task north of that line. Once the Japanese had been disarmed and repatriated, Korea was at last to become independent after almost fifty years of domination by Japan. This scenario depended on continued cooperation between the Soviet Union and the United States, but the wartime alliance soon collapsed.

    University 38th Parallel North Student’s Name and Surname Course Professor Due Date Surname 1 38th Parallel North When speaking about current global affairs the international community faces, one cannot avoid mentioning the relationship between South and North Korea. While being constantly on the brink of war, two parts of the same nation were historically divided and have driven different political and social courses, thus escalating the tensions between them. One should understand that to explore the roots of the conflict between North and South Korea, it is crucial to turn one’s gaze in the direction of the United States as well as the former Soviet Union. More importantly, the comprehension of the historical division of Korea is necessary, as North Korea plays a critical role in finding ways of reducing military tensions on the Korean peninsula —since these tensions, if handled inadequately, can lead to a nuclear war.1 In such a context, one should argue that the division of Korea on the 38th Parallel North is a matter of a clash of post-WWII foreign affairs of the United States and the Soviet Union—something that later led to the devastating Korean War and the Cold War. To understand the historical roots of the matter, one should focus on describing the case of the division itself, its reasons, and outcomes. Considering the exploratory nature of the study, the methodology utilized in the research is the comparative and inductive analysis of existing literature. While using analytical reasoning as a primary tool for conducting the analysis, the author is bound to explore the case of the 38th parallel north from various perspectives, including views of the matter as it was seen by major shareholders—namely the United States, the Soviet Union, and China.
