How to use peninsula in a sentence?

1. China Daily:

   While no one should expect the summit to have ironed out all the differences and erased the deep-seated mistrust between the two long-time foes, it has ignited hopes that they will be finally able to put an end to their hostility and that the long-standing peninsula issues can finally be resolved. These hopes should not be extinguished.

2. Joseph Dunford:

   Many people have talked about military options [against North Korea] with words like ‘unimaginable,’ i would shift that slightly to ‘horrific.’ It would be a loss of life unlike any we have experienced in our lifetimes. Anyone who has been alive since World War II has never seen the loss of life that could occur if there is a conflict on the Korean peninsula.

3. Ash Carter:

   Both are stark reminders that North Korea is an upclose, dangerous and continuing threat to the security of the peninsula and the region.

4. Ambassador Kim:

   We call on the DPRK to engage in a meaningful and substantive dialogue with us, we have been very clear about what we want to see happen. We are committed to the principle that dialogue will allow us to pursue our ultimate objective and that's quite simply the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula.

5. Robert Carnell:

   So today, we have the opportunity for a historic meeting, a possible end to the Korean war, and a possible move to denuclearise, and maybe even demilitarize the Korean peninsula, all of that's great, but how can you make money from it. Well, the short answer is you probably shouldn't even try.
