Exile is the Nursery of Nationality

In an account, Steven Phillips noted that the oft-quoted observation of the famous 19th century historian Lord Acton that "exile is the nursery of nationality" fits perfectly with Taiwan's experience. (Steven Phillips, "Building a Taiwanese Republic: The Independence Movement, 1945- Present, in Nancy Bernkopf Tucker's Dangerous Straits The U.S.-Taiwan-China Crisis)

Actually it also fits in perfectly well with Korea's experience.
