It could be a political science piece that analyzes different wars, different peace deals, conflict resolution strategies; or, for instance, it could be a historical analysis of certain peace-making initiatives in the past.
It stands out among other forms of paper by its vigor to “explain” a puzzle through some empirical data (either some survey data, or some historical data or some other legitimate form of scientific data that could be used for a research paper)
you will have to rely more on external sources. You will formulate a research question, show how to answer it by sharing your methodological choices, bring up empirical evidence to demonstrate your points and answer the research question to explain the conundrum you raised. Your paper will naturally be longer (10 pages, including bibliography).
need to specify a tangible research question.
Which dimension of Korean war you want to elucidate and how will you connect it with War and Peace? Do you consider the status quo as a peace (at the expense of having a divided country) or is it just a settlement that cannot last forever? Or are you going to analyze China’s motives? (Which is a lot harder). We cannot really go that far finding out the real motives of countries as it could be highly speculative.
Side note: try to avoid emotionally charged judgmental sentences such as “they will always be a disgrace to…”
Be sure to remain neutral when doing research. This should be an article about war and peace. Please write strictly around the point of war and peace.

The Korean conflict is one of the long-lasting conflicts that began in 1950 after liberation Korea from Japan control. The conflict between north and south has been addressed by different authors in detail. Some of the literature address the humanitarian impact of the Korean War, which left approximately five million people dead other millions of sustaining injuries. The conflict resulted in massive destruction of the properties and life, and its impacts are still experienced by both countries, and the United States as well. Some scholars address the causes of the conflict between the two territories. First, the conflict was caused by the difference in political ideologies between the northern and southern fronts. Chang-Il (2010) highlights that the conflict was caused by the spread of communism in some parts of the world. The northern side endorsed communism while the southern part was against communism.
