Ms. Joanne Herring was a Texas socialite, the high-flying trophy wife of an oil baron who counted among her friends Princess Grace of Monaco, but she will be forever defined as the woman who charmed a womanizing senator into taking up the cause of the Afghani mujahideen (Charlie Wilson Biography). Charlie Wilson would leverage his position on the Defense Appropriations committee to secretly funnel billions of dollars to the mujahideen to help them fend off the Soviets, dealing a crippling blow…

North Korea. As a young boy, he had completed known everything about Confucian education and was enrolled in a Methodist school. In the school, he became a nationalist. In 1896, he and his other friends formed a club that would force Japan to give Korean independence. When someone closed down his club, he was arrested and imprisoned until 1904. After, he left the hail he decided to go the U.S. in 1910 where he graduated from Princeton University with a Ph.D. When he came home in 1910, Korea was…

Public concerns about communism were heightened by international events. In 1949, the Soviet Union successfully tested a nuclear bomb and communist forces led by Mao Zedong (1893-1976) took control of China. The following year saw the start of the Korean War (1950-53), which engaged U.S. troops in combat against the communist-supported forces of North Korea. The advances of communism around the world convinced many U.S. citizens that there was a real danger of “Reds” taking over their own…

The report Preventing Suicide: A Global Imperative, estimates that in 2012, 9,790 suicides took place in North Korea, with almost equal numbers of males and females killing themselves.

The Korean war highlighted the conflict between the Soviet Union and the United States as the Cold war raged on in the early 1950s.

By conquering nations around the world, the Soviet Union had the ability…

business idea from KNK’s business model. I lived near the Seoul Train Station where lots of foreigners reside. I saw most of foreigners were really struggling to settle down in Korea because Korea is definitely not a foreigner-friendly country. Most Koreans cannot speak English at all, and there are a lot of special cultures or ways to live in Korea. For example, except homeowners, more than half of the house rental contract is made as “full lease” which is the unique form of lease contract in…

The development and use of nuclear weapons had a very large impact on America's economy, and the way we not only did politics from then on, but how we were perceived by other nations, from then on.

Roosevelt wanted to help our allies, and stop the…

Being in an unmistakably weaker bargaining position, the civil rights leaders had to concentrate their actions upon non-violent civil disobedience of southern customs and laws to produce the telegenic “clashes” that literally forced the federal government into action. Oftentimes, the pressure to intervene was more a matter of international than of domestic concern, as the world kept a close eye on the most obvious blemish of U.S. democracy, with the Soviet Union being especially eager to exploit…
