Modern Korean History: Liberation, War and Nuclear Ambitions (FutureLearn)Explore the unique and untold history of North and South Korea – from 1945 to the present – with this free online course. The contemporary history of the Korean peninsula has been a tumultuous tale of decolonization, war and rapid economic development. Both North and South Korea has had an immense impact on the world stage and today many wonder why this region of East Asia appears so frequently in the international news. This free online course, from Yonsei University in Seoul, will explore the modern history of Korea from 1945 to the present. The historical journey will wind its way through a catastrophic civil war, economic collapse, and the rapid rise of two model states within the Cold War framework. We will examine how two rival nations emerged from the ashes of the war and ask such question as: - How did North Korea create a model socialist state and build a controversial nuclear program despite its economic collapse? - And how did South Korea achieve rapid economic development, despite decades of military rule and a long struggle for democracy?
