কোরিয়া সংকট

The Korean conflict is based on the division between the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea in the north and the Republic of Korea in the south, both of which claim to be the government of the whole country. During the Cold War, North Korea was backed by the Soviet Union, China, and other Communist states, and South Korea was backed by the United States and its allies. The division of Korea occurred at the end of World War II in 1945. Tensions erupted into the Korean War in 1950.

To stop Korean War(25 June 1950 – 27 July 1953), United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) accepted resolution 377 A, the “Uniting for Peace(শান্তির জন্য ঐক্য প্রস্তাব) resolution.

When the war ended, the country was devastated, but the division remained. North and South Korea continued a military standoff(অচলাবস্থা ) with periodic clashes. The conflict survived the collapse of the Eastern Bloc of 1989 to 1991. The USA maintains a military presence in the South to help deter(বাধা দেওয়া, নিরোধ করা) an attack from the North. In 1997, US President Bill Clinton described the division of Korea as the “Cold War’s last divide”. In 2002, US President George W Bush described North Korea as a member of an “Axis of Evil”. Facing increasing isolation from their allies, North Korea has developed missile and nuclear capabilities.
