Best Answer

The North Korean nuclear program began under Kim Jong-Il when he took power in the 1990s; this caused international sanctions against him, which cut aid. This along with lack of Soviet support and economic mismanagement created a famine that starved thousands. The height of North Korea's economy began in the 1960s and came to a close after the death of Kim Il-Sung in 1994. During this time there were no sanctions against them, because there was not a nuclear program. Using the theory of associations, Kim Jong-Il's nuclear program crippled the economy.
