North Korea 🇰🇵

they usually wears a white eyepatch with a red star. They often wears a blue shirt or a military uniform, they are usually depicted carrying a nuke.

North Korea's character is generally a dark, motivated, and cold-hearted. They have a higher affection for nuclear or missile than other countries. Sometimes, North Korea holds them in their arms or even sleeps with them. North Korea is often portrayed as quick-tempered, crazed, and uninterested in whatever everyone else does, only focusing on themselves and distancing themselves from others. North Korea is generally not fond of their neighbors (especially South Korea and Japan). They are obsessed with nukes and creating controversy, especially between themselves and the USA. Despite their shortcomings, North Korea tries to keep cool and remains loyal to themselves and their leaders. Some artists think that North Korea likes their citicents most likely because of the civilians, that are kind and just want to escape. North Korea can sometimes feel extremely isolated, alone, or overwhelmed, but is able to covert their feelings from other countries.

Around A.D. 668, several competing kingdoms were unified into a single dominion on the Korean Peninsula. Successive regimes maintained Korean political and cultural independence for more than a thousand years; the last of these ruling kingdoms would be the Choson Dynasty (1392-1910).

After surviving invasions by Japan at the end of the 16th century and the Manchus of East Asia in the early 17th, Korea chose to limit its contact with the outside world. A 250-year-long period of peace followed, with few Koreans traveling outside their isolated country.

This began to change in the late 19th century, when Western powers like Britain, France and the United States made efforts to open trade and diplomatic relations with Korea, with little success.

At the outset of the 20th century, Japan and Russia vied for control over the Korean Peninsula. Japan emerged the victor, occupying the peninsula in 1910, at the conclusion of the Russo-Japanese War and formally annexing it five years later.

In the First Sino-Japan War, the fight was fought in Korea. This was one of the first signs Japanese Empire were trying to colonize Korea. The Qing Dynasty started the war with Japan because Japan had sunken their ships that were supposed to reach Korea. Inside the ships were military tools and soldiers that were supposed to help Korea incase Japan may invade. This was a fail, and Japan won the Sino-Japan War, and took parts of China.

Around 1919, the March 1st Movement took place. After the movement, few Koreans escaped to Hong Kong, China and created the Korean Provisional Government. In 1940, the Korean Liberation Army (KLA) was formed. The KLA was the armed force of the Korean Provisional Government. The Chinese government were also supporting them.

The KLA participated in the Pacific War and other battles alongside China and the Allies against Japan around Southeast Asia. The Provisional Government sent troops to fight alongside the British in the Southeast Asian theatre of WW2 by the request of the British Army. There were about 1000 members by the end of WW2. China and KLA’s biggest goal was to gain independence or to stop Japanese Empire from getting more land. The KLA camps were scattered around China, but mainly in Shanghai, because the Provisional Government was established.

The Korean Army isn’t widely known because it often mixed with the Chinese armies on the battlefield. Overall, China did help the Provisional Government and Army to help fight against Japanese Empire from getting more land in Asia. This is not entirely confirmed but the KLA was planning to free Korea yet America came and stopped Japanese Empire. However if America didn’t “occupy” them in time South Korea would most likely be a communist country.

Over 35 years of colonial rule, Korea became an industrialized country, but its people suffered brutal repression at the hands of the Japanese, who tried to wipe out its distinctive language and cultural identity and make Koreans culturally Japanese. There were many protests of Korea’s independence however many of the civilians that protested were arrested and many of them were massacred. However these protests inspired many countries.

During World War II, many Korean men were compelled to serve in Japan’s army or work in wartime factories. Many soldiers that were able to survive could have been a big part of the Japanese soldiers, but many died on their first battle due to them being the first on the battlefield. Thousands of Korean women were forced into providing sexual services for Japanese soldiers, becoming known as “comfort women.” It is unclear but comfort women were most likely taken away in the countryside, uncommonly in the city, as the education was higher there. Girls that were taken away in the countryside most likely wanted to go to schools, or get a job, but got tricked. Girls and boys that lived in cities with good education would probably been looked forward by Japanese, if they behaved well.

After the 2 atomic bombs were dropped in Japan, Japan's territory retreated back to their lands, leaving Korea altogether. USSR took North Korea making them part of their communist, on the other hand, America had supported South Korea. The Republic of Korea (ROK) broke up after America took South Korea. Most of the ROK members supported communism so the Americans executed some of them.

The Korean War occurred and when nearly all of the Korean peninsula was occupied by North Korean forces, America and the UN came to the rescue fighting back at the communists. The fight was brutal until the border was made right in the middle of Korea.

In the north, the Soviets installed Kim Il Sung as the first premier of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK), better known as North Korea, with its capital at Pyongyang

North Korea was reorganized into a dictatorship led by Kim Il-sung. This made North Korea's economic growth lagging behind South Korea. In the 1990s, North Korea's economic situation continued to deteriorate, and to make matters worse, the collapse of the communist bloc and natural disasters caused the worst food shortage. Many people (About 333,000 to 600,000) died of starvation due to this food shortage. After this famine, the number of North Korean defectors increased, and a market called Jangmadang was created

North Korea's economy is in a slump due to the Kim dynasty's dictatorship and the extreme inequality between the rich and the poor. And the North Korean government has continued to provoke their sibling with nuclear weapons and missiles.

Also North Korea has been thoroughly monitoring and brainwashing its people since its founding, but in the 2010s, South Korean culture became widespread in North Korea. This has led to increased surveillance of its citizens in North Korea.
