The history of the Korean Peninsula dates back 3,000 years, and for 1,800 years, North and South Korea coexisted in a state of partition. And unlike the situation with the merger of East Germany and West Germany,North and South KoreaNot only does it existPoliticsConfrontation,EconomyCommunication is also cut off from each other. Due toNorth and South KoreaFor a long time, the kinship ties between the two countries have gradually faded, most of the people who are related by blood have passed away, and the new generation of young people has no additional kinship ties. The historical background on the Korean Peninsula does not have enough exchangeable assets compared to the historical assets that were available at the time of the merger. Therefore, it can be said that the ** of the Korean Peninsula has been the norm in history.
Unlike the ** of the Korean Peninsula, the two Germans merged as wellBerlin WallThere was a heavy price to be paid behind the collapse.
During the Cold War, East Germany and West Germany were controlled and manipulated by the two superpowers, the United States and the Soviet Union, respectively, and the two Germany became puppet states representing different camps. And this kind of ** is not what the German people want, but is caused by the control and confrontation between the United States and the Soviet Union. Berlin WallThe establishment of the two German peoples forced the separation of relatives and friends into two different worlds. Despite the fact that the two Germans had their roots in the Cold War situation, the two German peoples had always wanted reunification, especially in West GermanyEconomyForerunnerOn its own initiative with the GDREconomyCooperation agreements in many fields such as transportation, culture, and environment have strengthened the cooperation between the two GermanysEconomy**。At the same time, Germany is actively waiting for historical opportunities, which was the case in the late 80s of the last centuryUSSREconomyWhen you're in trouble.

In the end, Germany achieved reunification at the expense of some interests and regions.
