## Blurb

HOW did Korea end up being TWO Koreas?

After World War II, amidst the celebrations, the USA, the United Nations, and the Soviet Union didn't know what to do with Korea, who they'd just freed from Japan's occupying force. Unable to come to an agreement, they decided to split the country in two: one side (the south) would be, aided by the USA and the UN; the other side (the north) would be aided by the USSR.

This... did not turn out well. Mistakes were made (on both sides), and, well, check out the video for the result...

## Summary

After the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the Empire of Japan surrenders. The United States of America celebrates victory over World War II, but the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, also being an ally, is upset that he was left out. With the USSR being a communist state, the USA attempts to engage him, and the USSR follows suit, but the newly formed United Nations stops the confrontation. The UN calms the USA down. The US and USSR agree that they are "frenemies". Just then, the newly-established People's Republic of China wakes up from his sleep and tells the others to shush it.

After 35 years of colonization, Korea finally became an independent country. The USSR sees potential in Korea, but the USA chooses to adopt him. This makes the USSR mad, as the USA picks up Korea. The USA suggests sharing, and pulls out a suckle, dividing Korea in two. The USA and UN scream, waking China up again. America transforms into an eagle, and the USSR summons a bear, ready to fight, but the UN intervenes again. Both of them decide to calm down for now. The USA picks up his piece of Korea, naming him "South Korea". The USSR, holding his piece of Korea, calls him "North Korea". The UN reminds both countries that the division is not to last forever.

The USA takes the ROK to his house, whereas the USSR takes the DPRK to his base alongside China. The USA vows to raise South Korea well, introducing him to capitalism, whereas the USSR introduces North Korea to communism. The USA, UN and South Korea play baseball, whereas the USSR trains North Korea for combat. The USA, UN, and ROK watch a movie. North Korea does push-ups. The USA introduces South Korea to freedom. North Korea becomes a one-party state. South Korea makes a speech, vowing to bring freedom to the Koreans. North Korea vows to reunify Korea under communism.

The USSR yells to China, claiming that the clown had the audacity to invade him, and that the USSR's leader, Joseph Stalin, claimed that "winter is coming". Just then, North Korea talks to China and the USSR about his idea: invade South Korea. As a grown man, North Korea is confident, but the USSR is unsure. The USSR gets furious after North Korea claims that he lost against Japan in 1905, threatening him to take it back. China wakes up, telling the USSR to let North Korea have his war.

On the 38th Parallel, two South Korean guards are patrolling the area. On June 22, 1950, the Korean War begins, and North Korean troops cross the 38th. South Korea picks up the phone, and it turns out to be from the USA. The USA is upset that South Korea is losing. North Korea storms into America's house, and South Korea yells at America for help. North Korea recommends that South Kroea surrenders, but South Korea refuses. Just then, the USA flies a plane into his own house, and he, along with the UN, arrive. Both Koreas are about to hold hands when the USA enables hunting mode again. North Korea realizes that the USSR was right, and that he needs China's help. The USA follows the DPRK.

Up Korea and towards China, they head towards the Chinese border. South Korea says that North Korea is still his brother, and the USA threatens South Korea, suspecting him to be a communist. South Korea provides a peaceful solution, but the USA refuses. They head into a cave, waking up China in the process. China chases South Korea, the USA, and the UN out of the cave as CHina vows to help North Korea.
