2003 The Two Koreas

Korea was divided in 1948 following World War II, but war erupted again in 1950 when North Korea invaded South Korea. Decades later, old tensions still exist across the fragile Demilitarized Zone that separates the communist north from the democratic south. This attractive political map contains information on the population, economy, and armaments of both countries. Published in July 2003 as one half of a two-map set with "The Forgotten War: Three Long Years in Korea."
