The First Sino-Japanese War (1894 – 1895) was fought between Qing Dynasty of China and Meiji of Japan, primarily over control of Korea, with Japan winning. In 1910 with the Japan-Korea treaty, Japan's rule was officially noted. In 1919 Korea began establishing its independence, but it is not fully established until 1945. After the surrender of Japan (1945), the Korean peninsula is divided between Soviet and American occupation forces at the 38th parallel, which precipitates the Korean War in 1950.
In 1964, South Korea joins the Vietnam War.

Missile and rocket testing has been an issue since that time to this day. The younger boys are a little too young to be able to grasp all of this, so we didn't go into this too deeply.

We tried Crock Pot Korean Beef Short Rib Tacos, but they had mixed reviews. I was the only one who loved them, so you know what that means? We won't have them again.
Another interested recipe we could have tried was Korean Chicken Thighs. If you give them a try, let me know as I am curious about how they would taste.
Steven also took three students to a Korean restaurant in town. The youngest didn't like it but the rest liked it, although it was surprisingly spicy.
