The Formation of an Independent Country
          A Case Study of the Republic of Korea and America

But if you break down the road to independence for both countries, you will notice that there are in fact some similarities.  Along with these similarities there are still some differences.  The two countries had different methods of protesting and had completely different reasons for wanting to become their own nation.  In spite of this both countries had to fight long and hard to get to where they are today.

It is an old place, whose people were united as one from the seventh century until 1945, when it was divided by the United States and the Soviet Union at the end of World War II.
