North Korea cannot possibly defeat the US in case of war. They can, however, do great harm to South Korea. I expect that if North Korea attacks the US directly rather than just attacking US troops which are already in South Korea, there would be an overwhelming retaliation. Remember that during the Cold War era, the US was prepared to go to war with the entire Soviet bloc, which was roughly half the world. The US has vastly more military power than it would need to deal with North Korea.
China still regards itself as an ally of North Korea; they both claim to be communist states, although the claim is not that convincing in either case (China has embraced capitalism, and North Korea is just a despotic monarchy ruled by the Kim dynasty) however, China has also asked North Korea to show restraint and to refrain from going to war, therefore, it seems that if North Korea does go to war at this time (2013) it will have no allies. They will be on their own.
It is not necessary to capitalize the word mainland. The sentence is fine with mainland in lower case, while North America is in upper case.
It was part of a policy of containment of Communist expansion by proxies - in this case North Korea used as a front by the Soviet Union and Chinese Peoples Republic.
North Korea has a huge barrier to the entry of information and, as a result, never had a formalized opposition, so when the Revolutions of 1989 spread over much of the communist world, no such thing occurred in North Korea. Kim Il-Sung was simply succeeded by his son, as had been the case with every Korean dynasty that had existed before (Joseon, Goryeo, Gogoryeo, etc.). The North Korean people knew no differently.
The Korean War was the FIRST "Hot" battle of the COLD WAR. The Cold War was a non-shooting (no violence) stand-off between the communist world and the free world. Communist North Korea invaded South Korea; a clear case of self defense.
North Korea does not really have distinct branches of government, with the system being something closer to a complex military-political oligarchy led by the Premier. The internal politics of the North Korean regime are unclear and it may be the case that members of the government hold each other to a certain degree of accountability, but how this works is unknown.

Well, honey, to abbreviate the word "celebration," you simply write "celeb." It's as easy as that! So go ahead and get your party on, and don't forget to keep it short and sweet with that abbreviation.
