- The division of the country into a totalitarian North and a prosperous, democratic South
- North Korea's invasion of the South, motivated by Stalin, which led to the bloody Korean Wara conflict that is still not settled to this day
- The irascible General Douglas MacArthur, who was relieved of his command by President Truman when he disobeyed a direct order and attempted to expand the war into China
- The rise of the Kim regime in North Korea and the continuing threat of nuclear war today
