38th parallel: The confrontation between the DPRK and the Republic of Korea
Keywords:
Economy, productive, eventually, complicatedAbstract
The Korean Peninsula was at one point in history a single unified entity until World War II happened. The Northern half was under occupation by the communist USSR, and the Southern half was occupied by the US. The occupation and the subsequent Korean War ensured that the two nations would take diverging paths that have set them apart to this day

Professor Diana Hess worked with Jeremy Stoddard, then a graduate student, and a team of other graduate students on the first stage of the study analyzing the non-profit and U.S. State Department curricula: Kristen Buras, Ross Collin, Hilary Conklin, Eric Freedman, and Keita Takayama; and with Jeremy Stoddard and Shannon Murto on the second stage focusing on the textbooks.
