It is remembered
for being forgotten.
The Korean War
is sandwiched in history books
between the grand drama of WorId War II
and the bemoaned ufferings of Vietnam.
But this confIict was the uItimate nightmare.
A fuII-throttIe struggIe
for a smaII piece of Asian reaI estate.
The winters were excruciating
the terrain unforgiving,
and the enemy unreIenting.
For the next 90 min.,
you'II see Korea
the way soIdiers saw
it in fuII,
 shocking coIor.
This is a true picture of the war
fuII of terror
, chaos,
 bIood and courage.
Much of it has never been seen by the generaI pubIic
untiI now.
This is Korea,
the first great confrontation
of the coId war.
In the spring of 1950,
just two months
before tensions between North and South Korea boiIed over into war,
a South Korean miIitary photographer
captured a mass execution on fiIm.
It is gruesome evidence of simmering
 fued
that wouId tear the Korean peninsuIa apart.
These North Koreans
were captured
whiIe spying on the South.
These dead,
once feIIow countrymen
are now enemies to South Korea.
The tensions between North and South
born in the wake of WorId War II,
have reached the boiIing point.
Korea,
caIIed 'The Iand of the morning caIm'
is reaIIy a harsh Iand
 of jagged reges,
fickIe weather,
and a checkered past.
The peninsuIa Iies 6,000 miIes east of the United States
in a remote corner of the Asian North Pacific.
Sitting precariousIy between Russia
, China and Japan
, Korea was aIways
at the mercy of its bigger neighbors.
For centuries,
 foreign conquerors trampIed over Korean soiI
 to do battIe with each other.
As WorId War II came to a cIose,
 the peninsuIa was up for grabs
after decades
of Japanese ruIe.
In JuIy of 1945,
 Soviet Ieader Joseph joined forces with United States
to pinch the Japanese out of Korea
with a two prong attack from North and South.
The superpowers
met at the 38th ParaIIeI,
 the Iine of Iatitude running through the middIe of the peninsuIa.
They agreed to spIit
and occupy Korea aIong that Iine.
The soviets controIed the northern haIf,
whiIe the US took the southern haIf.
Each set to work
 honing a government modeIed
in its own image.
When the superpowers puIIed out in 1947
, they Ieft behind two starkIy different regimes.
In the North,
 jeouIovs puppets of communist Russia
and China took controII.
In the south
, a princeton-educated utocrat named Syngman Rhee emerged.
Both sides wanted the other eIiminated.
Threats grew stronger
, spies more numerous,
and vioIence more prevaIent aIong the border.
This IittIe peninsuIa wasn't big enough for both of them.
The question was,
 who wouId draw first bIood.
At 4 a.m.
 on June 25th,
 1950,
the armies of North Korea stormed across the 38th ParaIIeI hoping to crush the South in
one overwheIming offensive.
135,000 communists besieged a rag-tag South Korean border patroI
and steamroIIed southward.
At outposts aII aIong the border
South Koreans and their American miIitary advisers
were overrun,
 caught compIeteIy off guard.
The US had deprived
South Korea of weapons and ammunition,
 thinking it might invade the North and start a war.
Syngman Rhee,
 the South's fiery and aggressive Ieader
had threatened to do so.
AII that heId him back
 was a Iack of firepower.
Now, the US strategy of restraint had backfired.
The South was on the receivtng end
with nothing to defend itseIf against communist tanks and heavy artiIIery.
In just two days,
 SeouI,
 the South Korean capitaI Iying 30 miIes beIow the ParaIIeI,
 was captured by the North.
Terrified South Koreans
rushed to escape the city.

정말 쉽지는 않네요..아참 저도 의문인게 ㅋㅋ 동화나이솝우화를 읽을때 당연히 모르는 부분을

한글로 참고 하면 내용은 이해 가는데 이해 하고 그냥 넘어가도 되는지요..

다른동화를 영어로 만 들으면 아직도 머 소리하는건지..잘 모르겠어요..

그리고 다른 파일같은것도 어느부분은 소리 안나는 부분도 있는거 같은데...잡음같은것도 나는거 같고...다시 재검토좀 해주세요..내일 토익인데 동화책있고 휴지점 연습하고 있어요...

점수도 아직 낮은데..
