THE MUSEUM OF THE KOREAN WAR

From 1950 to 1953, North Korea and China fighted against the South Koreans, the Americans and the United Nations during the Korean War. When the war was over, there was no real winner or loser, as the border between the Koreas remained almost the same before and after the war. However, North Korea pretends to be victorious and accuses the US imperialists to have started the war, although the History was quite different. The huge Museum of the Korean War in Pyongyang insists on the North Korean Army's braveness and does not really respect the historical facts. It is actually a great propaganda place.
