Japan conquered Korea in 1904

Conquered is the wrong verb, there was no war, no battle, no conquest. There was a war between Japan and Russia in 1905, after which Korea was made a protectorate of Japan, but Japan did not "conquer" Korea.

• The country once had large timber resources.
• Intense government conservation and reforestation programs have increased the supply, and timber occasionally appears on North Korean export lists. The south, on the other hand, is largely deforested.

The text does not mention the results of the reforestation in South Korea. The south is no longer "largely deforested," there are many thousands of acres of trees and forests.

1495

Both North and South Korea must still import grain in order to meet their food demands.

This statement is too strong. Some grains are imported to meet demands, but the most common grain used in South Korea is rice. Korea used to import rice because there was not enough, but now, South Korea produces enough rice for its own people. Some rice is still imported due to people's preference for the import rice.

Park Chung Hee declared martial law in 1972.

The text sites two different periods for the Japanese occupation of Korea: 1904-45 and 1910-45.

The latter period, 1910-45, is the correct time period.

The text sites two different periods for Park Chung Hee's regime: 1962-79 and 1963-79.

The correct dates should be 1961-79.
