What if? Analytical activity

I was also thinking about what high level thinking questions based on this topic that students could think about/debate. I like the idea of asking who was to "blame" for the Korean War. I was thinking asking students to incorporate current event stories/events into this topic and asking something along the lines of: "Who is responsble for the continued division of North and South Korea?", or "Who should be responsible for trying to reconcile the two countries?". Or even something like: "Can South Korea be called a "success story?" I'm still braninstorming, but I'm excited to try and implement a deeper, more thorough look at the Korean conflict the next time we get to the Korean War in World History.
