North and South Korea Demilitarized Zone

demilitarized zone

Over the years there have been occasional incidents and skirmishes, some of them quite serious. U.S. President Lyndon B. Johnson was visiting Seoul in November, year 1996 when North Korean infiltrators ambushed the American Patrol. The incident sparked a low-intensity-conflict that made a hundreds of koreans and dozens of americans dead. The 38th parallel northwhich divides the Korean Peninsula roughly in half was the original boundary between the United States and Soviet Union's brief. Upon the creation of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, informally "North Korea" and the Republic of Korea informally "South Korea". It became a international boarder and one of the most tense fonts in the Cold War. It was since July 17,1953.

 

The DMZ is built to make a boarder barrier that divides Korean Peninsula roughly in half, to make a buffer zone between North Korea and South Korea. It makes a territory on both side to cease the fire line as its existed at the end of Korean War, that also stops the cold war tensions that can bring chaos to the world.The walls' impact to the koreans on human relationship is to keep the territory of North Korea and South Korea in peace, since the DMZ demarcates them. Korea was divided due to the cold water that fell between them. It is established by he provisions of the Korean Agreement to serve as a buffer zone. The DMZ wall that was built have a relevance to this quote because they made the boundaries to have more peace and less conflict. Mending wall is a poem about two neighbors who repaired a fence between their estates. Just like the wall DMZ separated the neighboring country North and South Korea.
