Which of the following is not true about the korean war?
a. japan had control of korea prior to world war ii.
b. the war started when north korea invaded south korea.
c. the soviet union attempted to establish a democratic government in north korea.
d. china became involved in the war after un forces advanced into north korea.

The correct answer is C. The Soviet Union didn't attempt to establish a democratic government in North Korea, but a communist one.

Explanation:

The Soviet Union did not intend to create a democratic state, but a communist state that would rival Japan and the United States in control of Asia and the Pacific Ocean. For this reason, it encouraged the creation of North Korea as a totalitarian communist state, which tried to unify the peninsula in 1950 through the Korean War, supported by the Soviet Union and China.

when we think of a­ncient paga­n kings, the ideas of justice and fairness probably aren't the first things to come to mind. we moderns may be more likely to imagine fickle, power-hungry despots who were ready to put someone to death on a whim. but king hammurabi, who ruled a prosperous and thriving babyloniaalmost four millennia ago, doesn't quite fit that mold. he claimed to have protect the weak from oppression, and scholars believe he fostered an atmosphere of justice and righteousness for his people.

this belief is based on an object that was discovered only a century ago. it has already earned a place alongside the rosetta stone as one of the most important artifacts of the ancient world. this stela (stone pillar) bears the inscription of the code of hammurabi, and it has shed light on the laws, culture and life in babylonia.
