The Soviets pulled their troops out of the north and the Americans out of the south. But a year later, an emboldened North Korean military fatally underestimated America’s Cold War geopolitical strategy and crossed the 38th parallel, intent on reuniting the peninsula. The Americans knew that if they didn’t stand up for South Korea, their other allies around the world would lose confidence in them. If America’s allies began to hedge their bets or go over to the Communist side, then its entire global strategy would be in trouble. Similarly, today, countries such as Poland, the Baltic States, Japan, and the Philippines need to be confident that America has their back when it comes to Russia and China. The U.S., leading a UN force, surged into Korea and pushed Northern troops to the border with China. Chinese troops — not wanting the U.S. within striking distance — fought back and after 36 months both sides agreed to a truce back on the 38th parallel. — Tim Marshall

However, Argentina has not always used its advantages to the fullest. A hundred years ago it was among the ten richest countries in the world — ahead of France and Italy.

The Brazilians have a joke about their snobbish neighbors: ‘Only people this sophisticated could make a mess this big.’ — Tim Marshall
During the Vietnam War, which lasted longer than any war we've ever been in - and which we lost - every respectable artist in this country was against the war. It was like a laser beam.

Peace between countries must rest on the solid foundation of love between individuals. — Mahatma Gandhi

In the world over, the very name of our country is immediately associated with the Parthenon. — Melina Mercouri
What if a small group of world leaders were to conclude that the principal risk to the Earth comes from the actions of the rich countries?...

China is the largest country in the world. But it has 16 neighbors, all of whom dislike China far more than they dislike one another. — Tim Marshall
Korea has few major natural defensive lines so the Mongols came and went, as did the Chinese Ming dynasty, the Manchurians, and the Japanese several times. So for a while the country preferred not to engage with the outside world, cutting many of its trade links in the hope that it would be left alone. It was not successful. In the 20th century, the Japanese were back, annexing the whole country in 1910, and later set about destroying its culture. The Korean language was banned, as was the teaching of Korean history, and worship at Shinto shrines became compulsory. — Tim Marshall
In Spain, the dead are more alive than the dead of any other country in the world. — Federico Garcia Lorca
