EU angers UK by calling Gibraltar a 'colony'

Watch:    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HfrWWQ4Kfy8   The United Kingdom has objected to the European Union's use of the word "colony" to describe the island of Gibraltar. The European Council (a body that defines the EU's political direction) produced a document regarding UK nationals travelling to the EU after Brexit.

There is a controversy between Spain and the UK concerning the sovereignty over Gibraltar, a territory for which a solution has to be reached."

The Remarkable Rise of South Korea: The Samsung Story

  Geographical Challenges South Korea, a nation slightly larger than the state of Indiana, faced significant geographical challenges that should have hindered its economic growth. Unlike Indiana, South Korea’s terrain was rugged and steep, with only 22% of its land suitable for agriculture. Furthermore, it lacked significant mineral wealth, ranking low in coal reserves and having no oil. Despite these domestic challenges, the region was surrounded by powerful neighbors, making its economic prospects seem grim. The Birth of Samsung Before the Republic of Korea and the Korean War defined the nation’s economic path, there was a small grocery trading shop in Daegu, South Korea, named Samsung. Founded in 1938 by Lee Byung-chul, this unassuming shop would play a pivotal role in one of the most remarkable economic transformations of the 20th century, later known as the “Miracle on the Han River.” The Miracle Explained The transformation of South Korea’s economy from poverty to prosperity ...
