ABSTRACT

The purpose of this article is to examine the historical difficulties and solutions to the birth of the DMZ while recalling the division of the Korean Peninsula, the 38° line of the U.S.-Soviet military government, and the Korean War. For DMZ research, historical difficulties related to the division of the Korean Peninsula must be solved. The 38° line, the MDL, the DMZ, and the result of the joint venture with foreign powers and foreign powers eventually led to division and Conflict of the Korean Peninsula. This means that the reality of unification or integration on the Korean Peninsula is still determined by foreign powers rather than within the people. However, efforts to solve historical difficulties related to the division of the Korean Peninsula are rarely seen. The reason why the 38° line was summoned in this article is because it is in the same context with the DMZ. In the end, it is thought that it is time to renew the 38° line, the Korean War, and the MDL and DMZ for peace or unification on the Korean Peninsula. It has been 76 years since the division and 68 years of cease-fire, but nothing has changed on the Korean Peninsula. In the past, six-way talks for denuclearization and a peace regime on the Korean Peninsula should also be summoned.
