Presentation Transcript
North Korea is a desperately poor nation with a repressive Communist government that has isolated it from the rest of the world. Several hundred thousand North Koreans have died of starvation and malnutrition since the 1990 s. South Korea, an ally of the U.S., has a democratic government and a strong economy. The DMZ line separates North and South Korea. It was established in 1953 at the end of the Korean War.
The Korean War lasted from 1950-1953. North Korea attacked South Korea, which was defended by U.N. forces, led by the U.S. Russia and China supported Communist North Korea. The Korean War ended in a stalemate. 37,000 Americans had died. North Korea has a secretive, cult-like society. All media is state-sponsored. North Korea has a long history of aggression in the region.
The Korean War was one of the first conflicts of the Cold War (1945-1991) between the U.S. and Soviet Union. Today, of North Korea s factories are idle. Almost no cars are on the streets. The government turns off the electricity in most of the nation at night. Maybe the world s most authoritarian country . And most bizarre!
Government punishments are strict, all media and information is government-sponsored. Homes are equipped with loudspeakers that blare pro-government propaganda all day long! North Korea s government is very unpredictable; there are 28,500 U.S. troops stationed in South Korea. This could put Americans in the thick of conflict if North Korea mobilizes an assault.
