DMZ Korea is the abbreviated name of the Demilitarized Zone. The zone was set up after the completion of Korean War in 1953. It took place when the excessive agriculture and industrialization desolated both the North and South Korea.

DMZ Korea is indeed a priority ecosystem. that divides the two Koreas and is probably the most heavily armed border in the world. On both side of its 248 km length around two million troops face each other and always get ready to go for war.
North Korea maintains a troop of around one million with its side of the frontier. It is said that if North Korean forces ever cross the DMZ the United States will be automatically at war. Though one of the world's major flash points, DMZ Korea has become a major tourist hub that has seen to be drawing the attention of hundreds and thousands of visitors all through the year.
