'''Korea''' is a region in [[East Asia]]. Since 1945, it has been divided into two distinct sovereign states: [[North Korea]] (officially the "Democratic People's Republic of Korea") and [[South Korea]] (officially the "Republic of Korea"). Korea consists of the Korean Peninsula, Jeju Island, and several minor islands near the peninsula. It is bordered by [[China]] to the northwest and [[Russia]] to the northeast.

==History==
Korea's history begins with the founding of [[Gojoseon]] in 2333 BC by the legendary Dangun. Following the unification of the [[Three Kingdoms of Korea]] under [[Silla]] in 676, Korea was subsequently ruled by the [[Goryeo]] dynasty (918–1392) and the [[Joseon]] dynasty (1392–1910). It was annexed by the [[Empire of Japan]] in 1910. At the end of [[World War II]], Korea was divided into Soviet and U.S. zones of occupations. An election was held in the U.S. zone in 1948 which led to the creation of the Republic of Korea. The Soviet zone became the Democratic People's Republic of Korea.

==Culture==
Korean culture has evolved greatly from its beginnings. Contemporary culture combines influences from the traditional Korean culture, and from the cultures of neighboring countries, and the Western world. Traditional Korean arts include crafts such as pottery, textiles, woodwork, and lacquerware. Korean music, dance, painting, and sculpture, rank with the highest classical arts.

==Cuisine==
Korean cuisine, hailing from ancient agricultural and nomadic traditions in southern Manchuria and the Korean peninsula, has evolved through a complex interaction of the natural environment and different cultural trends. It is largely based on rice, vegetables, and meats. Traditional Korean meals are noted for the number of side dishes that accompany steam-cooked short-grain rice.

==Economy==
South Korea is known for its spectacular rise from one of the poorest countries in the world to a developed, high-income country in just a few generations. This economic growth has been described as the [[Miracle on the Han River]]. North Korea, on the other hand, has a centrally planned economy where the government makes all economic decisions.
