Korean Political History I: Chapter 3, Exercise 2 — Possible Solution ====================================================================== TASK Write one sentence giving the founding date of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea that handles 10 July and 9 September carefully. SENTENCE "The Democratic People's Republic of Korea was formally established on 9 September 1948, with Kim Il Sung as premier; some sources mention 10 July 1948 as the date its constitution was adopted, and how the two dates relate is unclear." WHY THIS WORKS - It gives the date the sources treat as the founding (9 September). - It reports 10 July as a constitutional step, as the one source describes it, and does not claim that as the founding. - It says what is unclear instead of guessing. CAUTION Chapter 2 cited a summary giving 10 July as the establishment date, so a reader may have seen that version. This sentence corrects it without asserting a full account of the July step.
