North Korea History

North Korea History officially started with the foundation of Democratic People's Republic of Korea in the year 1948. Just after the Japanese occupation of Korea that ended with the defeat of Japan in World War II in 1945, Korea was divided at the 38th parallel according to an arrangement of United Nations. On the basis of this arrangement the northern part of Korea was decided to be governed by the Soviet Union while the Southern part by the United States. But both the Soviets and Americans disagreed on the implementation of Joint Trusteeship over Korea and finally in 1948 separate governments were set up, each announcing to be the Korean legal body.

For a long time, the North Korea History is seen to be undergoing different political, economic and social scenarios that had affected the entire nation and brought a drastic change among the life of North Koreans.

On 9th September, 1948 the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, DPRK came into active operation. This new government announced itself to be the official government body of the entire Korea. The DPRK had been under control of the Soviet-ruled northern parts of Korea, and Pyongyang became its actual capital. Thereafter in 1945 Soviet forces entered the territory of Korea and Since the entry of Soviet forces in 1945, a provisional government structure had been put up in the occupation zone with Kim Il-sung being the prime minister of the DPRK. This DPRK also underwent several crucial changes that affected the North Korea History.

While talking about the North Korea History we should not missed out to speak about the Korean war. This war broke out as a civil war and was fought between 1950-1953. It started when North Korea attacked South Korea and started expanding with the course of time. In this war North Korea got unquestionable support from the People's Republic of China.

After the completion of this historic event of Korean war, Kim became actively involved in North Korean politics, getting the support from the armed forces.
