They got colonized by UK
Kaesong is a city in the DPRK (North Korea), so relative to North Korea, Kaesong is within it. From the position of South Korea, Kaesong is to its north northwest.
No people are not allowed to leave North Korea, they can escape to South Korea, but risk being shot, or if caught trying to escape North Korea they can get heavy punishment, so the only way to get out of North Korea if your North Korean is to escape out of North Korea secretly, and go to South Korea, via another country that can give you asylum.
Yes, North Korea was once a colony. in 1643.
North Korea has total control of that country and has sealed its borders to outsiders.....
North Korea appears desolate because the citizens are so isolated from the rest of the world. The government of North Korea does not allow much interaction between those people and the world.
This is based on a person's point of perspective and Korea isn't fully bad. North Korea only adopted the way of communism through China and also during the Korean War, North Korea only wanted to get rid of the traitors to the south who gave information to Japan during when Japan colonized Korea. North Korea only wanted to restore the former glory of Korea, but it was wrong of them to massacre. South Korea in the change did nothing but only protected those traitors but they knew communism wasn't right and so now they are a republic. Both North Korea and the south isn't bad so overall Korea is good. If you have read the before answers where one person said Korea is a no star country and the other person insulted the other person, those answers were just self perspectives. Indeed Korea is small but look what Korea has accomplished. They made robots, great t.v's, and etc. They made great accomplishments to technology. North Korea made great contributions to military like inventing different weapons and other ways to train soldiers.
There has never been an attempt in North Korea to create a democracy.
The Soviet Union organized, and equipped the North Korean Army. North Korea wanted Communism but South Korea did not. So North Korea invaded South Korea as an attempt to make it communism. Nobody gave them permission. It was North Koreas decision, which was supported by the Soviet Union
because North Korea wanted more land so they decided to have war with south Korea and soon they just divided themselves into 2 groups so they wouldn't fuss.
Because of the Korean War. In the 1950s, there was a war between capitalist South Korea and communist North Korea. The U.S. fought in the war on the side of South Korea, so now North Korea blames the U.S. for all its problems.
No, actually since Kim Jong Il is the ruler of North Korea Korea is a dangerous so it's very hard to get education.
When North Korea asked for help from China, South Korea asked for the US's help, so they broke down the bridge between China and North Korea and sent reinforcements to South Korea
