China is a well known peaceful country in the world. They are more of a military, based-formed country. China is more of a civilian country; one of the oldest countries in the world of a continuous civilization of history.

The "Hermit Kingdom" has fallen behind technologically and economically, in stark contrast to South Korea (who has flourished in the same time frame). The Korean War was never fully resolved, and heated tensions persist between American and North Korea to this day. Nuclear capabilities and the complicated political entanglements between America, China, Russia, North Korea, and South Korea continue to complicate matters. Though America desires a resolution to these issues and wants to de-escalate nuclear proliferation, there is no clear solution or end in sight.]]> 2019-05-07 02:30:26 UTC https://padlet.com/jeanette_e_harper/c1k0ohdf5fal/wish/357449880 arratiaabby https://padlet.com/jeanette_e_harper/c1k0ohdf5fal/wish/357453340
The relationship between Iran and the United States dates back to as early as WWI, even time before that. Historically, the relations between the two countries was quite one sided in some ways. Ultimately, the US had little interest in Persian affairs, while US as a trustworthy outsider did not suffer. The Persians again sought the US for help in straightening out its finances after World War I. This mission unlike the last was opposed by powerful vested interests and eventually it was withdrawn with its task incomplete. Following this there was no special US concern with Iran or any interaction until World War II. As of now, in most recent news, sources such as the New York Times are claiming there are new tensions with Iran because of the nuclear deal- as Iran is threatening to bomb our military. My padlet dives into concepts like these, especially the nuclear weapons, and its effect on the relations between the two countries. ]]> 2019-05-07 02:50:50 UTC https://padlet.com/jeanette_e_harper/c1k0ohdf5fal/wish/357453340 nicktran1020 https://padlet.com/jeanette_e_harper/c1k0ohdf5fal/wish/357637558 This case study about the relations of the U.S. and Russia goes very in depth with the history of Russia, going from its political to economic stability and capabilities throughout the past century. The U.S. has a rocky relationship with Russia at best, due to the Cold War  and their clashing ideologies. But ultimately, even though they are still one of the most unpredictable sovereign states, Russia is a political ally.

After reading it and finishing my story board I can say I have learned a lot. The US and China actually have a decent relationship from years ago. I believe it started with the Korea War. And with the trade act 2000. Now we have of the biggest trade deal in the world.

The author highlighted important events and discussed the transition an evolution of Russia itself, as well as its interactions with the United States. The storyboard highlights some important quotes that reflect the key points of the article.

In the past we have had positive relations; however, those days seem to be coming to an end. Iran's overthrow of the western regime has led these two countries to begin a feud that has serious implications for world peace.  ]]> 2019-05-08 07:01:02 UTC https://padlet.com/jeanette_e_harper/c1k0ohdf5fal/wish/357929720 breeo51014 https://padlet.com/jeanette_e_harper/c1k0ohdf5fal/wish/358273128 The article gives great information about the history between the United States and North Korea. The article gave a lot of information about the physical setting, a sketch, the relation between the U.S. and North Korea, the nuclear proliferation and more. It was very interesting to read about how North Korea started the divide with the Korean Peninsula to the information about the Korean War. Another very interesting fact that the article gave was about the crazy advancement of the North Koreans design facilities that produce weapons and how they are able to bomb faster than otherwise assumed. With the great frustration and ironic situation between the United States and North Korea all Americans want to do is make it go away.

North Korea and its divided half, the south, share so many distinctions. From their economy, politics, and lifestyle, you see a vast difference. Many have felt that unifying both sides would be the solution to drastically improve North Korea's poverty seeing as the south is so bountiful but that option has since been dismissed after both sides have met about it. Because North Korea lives in such a hard dictatorship and is such a small country compared to its neighbors, i.e. Japan, Russia and China, nuclear weapons are a way for them assert power which is why they have threatened to remove their membership from every agreement (Nuclear Non-Proliferation, Framework agreement) with the U.S. against using nuclear weapons. In America's efforts to fix this situation, it is likely North Korea will remain as is in favor of their nuclear power.]]> 2019-05-09 13:59:32 UTC https://padlet.com/jeanette_e_harper/c1k0ohdf5fal/wish/358475734 erodr018 https://padlet.com/jeanette_e_harper/c1k0ohdf5fal/wish/358551209 After reading this article, I have learned things that I didn't know before. Like the thousands of troops available just south of the 38th parallel. It has been very important to the US, to kind of have a check on North Korea just in case things go south with them. They have been unpredictable and as long as they have a negative relationship with other countries, it is imperative to be ready for them at all times. Nuclear weapons are not be joked about. A lot of people in this have actually been terrified of a nuclear attack on their city from Kim Jong Un. ]]> 2019-05-09 16:07:43 UTC https://padlet.com/jeanette_e_harper/c1k0ohdf5fal/wish/358551209 hadikhan https://padlet.com/jeanette_e_harper/c1k0ohdf5fal/wish/358650210 This article gives a lot of insight into the relationship between China and the United States. It goes in depth about the economic, political, and military aspects of the two countries, specifically China. Over the years China has developed and changed drastically as a country, impacting its relationship with the U.S. both positively and negatively. China introduced a system called the “four modernizations”, which includes military, agriculture, science, and technology improvements in the country.

This article mentions how North Korea attacked South Korea, and how the U.S. went and helped/defended South Korea. The article also talks about North Korea by itself and how it's isolated itself from the rest of the world. The United States and North Korea have mostly always had conflict between them.

The issue of nuclear weapons seems to be the biggest issue. Iran, although it should be considered a regional power, has been trod under the foot of its neighbors for entirely too long. In the effort to do something about about their lack of power, the issue of nuclear weapons is the new issue at hand. Can this conflict ever be resolved? ]]> 2019-05-09 22:49:21 UTC https://padlet.com/jeanette_e_harper/c1k0ohdf5fal/wish/358692734 joeandkristiefleming https://padlet.com/jeanette_e_harper/c1k0ohdf5fal/wish/359064015 This article explains basically the whole deal with North Korea and why they are so important. Pretty much the only reason that North Korea even is mentioned when considering the superpowers of the world is because of its possession of nuclear weapons. It wasn't until 2006 that North Korea became the 9th Nuclear power with when they obtained 6 of 8 primitive, low-yield warheads. North Korean leaders leave their citizens to starve to death and isolate them from the rest of the world so that they are not aware of a better life, in fact the country is so isolated that there is no legal access to the internet. My story board gives a good summary of the situation with Korea including information on the Korean War and why Korea divided in the first place.

North Korea and South Korea, although similar in cultural have so many strong distinctions that it is actually ironic, how two places so close and with such close history can be so distinct from each other. Many believe by combining both sides, there can help provided to poverty in North Korea and this is the ulimate answer to all of North Korea’s problem. Compared to the North, South Korea has a booming economy with great freedom and beauty. However, both sides have met up concerning this issue and it seems that both have decided to not go through. Further, as North Korea’s size is much smaller than neighboring nations, nuclear weapons have provied them with an upper hand to the whole situation. They have threatened to use their nuclear power and break through agreements, which is one of America’s top concerns. I believe that combing the two countries would benefit the North but can only be done by the downfall of the dictator. ]]> 2019-05-11 21:55:46 UTC https://padlet.com/jeanette_e_harper/c1k0ohdf5fal/wish/359147337 dugonzalez2 https://padlet.com/jeanette_e_harper/c1k0ohdf5fal/wish/359193233 After reading this article, I was able to understand better the relationship between the United States and China. I learned that China is critical for the United States in consumption and financially. China also benefits significantly from America's consumption. It is highly crucial that they maintain or grow this relationship to continue growing economically.]]> 2019-05-12 10:40:33 UTC https://padlet.com/jeanette_e_harper/c1k0ohdf5fal/wish/359193233 jasminefreed https://padlet.com/jeanette_e_harper/c1k0ohdf5fal/wish/359201336 After reading this article i was able to grasp a better understanding of how China and the US were together.

From the separation of the once united Korea after WWII to the present day North and South Korea. The present states were heavily influenced by Soviet and United States occupying during the cold war. It has greatly influenced how the states are run now. One quote that stood out to me was:

"There is also an expanding capitalist economy in the south - underdeveloped economy in socialist north."
