The History of North Korea

 Following World War II, the Japanese occupation ended in Korea. Though at the time Soviet troops still occupying North Korea. Going forward, North Korea become a Communist party and was ruled by a dictator regime. After which North Korea experienced the industrial revolution and grew as a country. Continuing their Communist party leadership.

Jumping ahead, in 1994 North Korean leaders freeze the country's nuclear program. Two years later the country is hit with flooding and major famine follows. Continuing on into present day, North Korea is still facing famine and a lack of electricity. But their program is in action and the country continues to pose a threat to the U.S.

In the past decade North Korea has become a rather crazy power-driven society. People are homeless and starving in the streets, while the country's leaders live very comfortable in their mansions with unlimited amounts of food. The citizens are restricted from viewing foreign information, allowing the government to control what people do and see.

Going forward, I do not see a regime change anytime soon because as Kim Jun Un is a young ruler he will most likely lead until his death. Also North Korea has been operating the current government for decades, making it difficult to change.
