South Koreans have reported that North Korea has fired a series of missiles into the ocean. North Korea claims that they are only doing military exercises and South Korea is telling the North to "not engage in tension-creating acts" (Yonhap). The rising tension in the peninsula has caused the U.S. and South Korea to fear that North Korea is planning to test longer-ranged ballistic missiles. There is still a fear that North Korea is building long ranged missiles of a higher caliber. North Korea wants the U.S. to acknowledge it's nuclear capabilities, though they refuse.
This topic can be related to the bombing of Nagasaki and Hiroshima in WWII. Just as Japan did, the U.S. is doing now and is denying the possibilities of nuclear capabilities and weapons of mass destruction. The development can lead to bombings in surrounding countries such as China, South Korea, Japan, and their enemies. These nuclear capabilities can lead do a war and can cause many problems

4. Web Archaeology
The research I would conduct with this primary source is how the samurai fought and what kind of person would this armor fit to. Since the armor is part of the history and culture of the fighting styles and warfare, that would be a good topic to research because it is broad and easy to find information through the weaponry and the armor of the different periods of time and areas in Japan. The armor can be traced to a certain sect of samurais or warriors and a clan which they most likely originated from. Afterwards, it would be easy to find where the clan originated from and how they lived and trained their warriors.
The primary source can lead to the history of the clan and who they fought. These samurai from the same area from where this suit came from were most likely fighting over territory. The surrounding clans or villages can be used to find why these samurais were needed and why they would need to protect themselves through fighting.
