Dangun was the legendary founder and god king of Gojoseon, the first Korean kingdom. He is said to be the “grandson of heaven” and “son of a bear”, and to have founded the kingdom in 2333 BC.
North Korea’s leader Kim Il Sung insisted that Dangun was not merely a legend but a real historical person. As consequence, North Korean archaeologists were compelled to locate the purported remains and grave of Dangun.
According to a publication by North Korea, the Mausoleum of Dangun is the alleged burial site of the legendary Dangun. Dangun’s grave is shaped like a pyramid, about 22 m (72 ft) high and 50 m (164 ft) on each side.
Many observers and historians outside of North Korea, including South Korea, consider the site controversial.

Saddam Hussein (1937-2006) took control of Iraq in 1979 making himself president until 2003.He was member of the Arab Socialist Baath Party.
In 1980 he started the Irak-Iran Wars until 1988. Irak was a secular state and Saddam saw the islamic revolution in Iran as a threat to Irak. In order to neutralize it he started the Irak-Iran War in 1980. Backed up by the Gulf States and the US.
After the war the economy of Iraq was almost bankrupt. Irak was heavenly in depth with Kuwait and Saudi Arabia. Kuwait was pumping up large amounts of oil keeping the oil price low so Iraq could not make a lot of money by selling oil themselfs in order to make the economie rise again. Also Iraq accused Kuwait of steeling oil in the border area by drilling sideways under the border.
In 1990 Iraq invaded Kuwait. A strong international reaction followed isolating Iraq and resulting in the Gulf War ending that same year. In 2003 Iraq was invaded again under accusation that it was producing weapons of mass destruction. In that same year Saddam was captured and executed in 2006.

The Iran Hostage Crisis was a hostage action from some students who were supporters of the Iranian Revolution. They took over the U.S. embassy in Theran. They held 63 diplomats and citizens in hostage for 444 days, from the 4th. of november 1979 until the 20th. of january 1981 resulting in a diplomatic stand off between Iran and the United States.It stands as the longest hostage crisis in recorded history.
President Carter ordered the U.S. military to attempt a rescue mission (Operation Eagle Claw). The attempt failed on April 24, 1980, resulting in the accidental deaths of eight American servicemen and one Iranian civilian after one of the helicopters crashed into a transport aircraft.
The death of the Iranian Sjah on the 27th. of july 1980 and the outbreak of the war against Iraq led to negotiations and resulted in the release of the hostages. It is believed the crisis was the reason for President Carter not te be re elected for another term as president.

On the 3rd. of July 1988 a missle shot from navy vessel USS Vincennes hit the Iranian Airliner. The aircraft, an Airbus A300, was destroyed and all 290 people on board, including 66 children, were killed. The jet was hit while flying over Iran’s territorial waters in the Persian Gulf. The Navy crew of the ship had incorrectly identified the Airbus as an attacking F-14 Tomcat, while not been able to communicate with the aircraft. The Iranians claimed that the navy vessel shot down the airliner on purpose.
Some analysts blamed the captain of Vincennes, William C. Rogers III, for overly-aggressive behavior in a tense and dangerous environment. In the days immediately following the incident, U.S. President Ronald Reagan issued a written diplomatic note to the Iranian government, expressing deep regret.
After the hit from the missle the plane disintegrated immediately. The cockpit voice recorder and flight data recorder were never found.
