Politically, North Korea is a strong power. Militarily, North Korea, a nuclear power, with a 9.7 Million Reserve, and 1.9 Million active personnel is among the top military powers in the world. However, Economically in the early 1980's its neighbor South Korea surpassed it economically and natural disasters, mismanagement, and the collapse of the Socialist Market in the 90's led to a economic collapse which makes it weak economically.
North Korea was not in WWI
North Korea:)
Great, or powerful, countries have great, or powerful, armies in order to keep their power. Military power is usually used to exercise one's power in either defensive and/or offensive terms. However, economic power also ties into being a powerful country. For example, the US has the world's most powerful army and the world's largest economy, and is the reason why the US is the world's most powerful country as a whole. However, although North Korea has the world's largest army, its economy is terrible, and this is one reason why North Korea is not such a powerful or influential country in the world.
I believe the Soviets were occupying North Korea because of the Communism.
No. North Korea is refusing to acknowledge the requests of the United States.
Military jobs or farming. North Korea believe that to be a strong and powerful country you need to have a powerful and strong military.
North Korea became powerful and tried to take more land from South Korea
It means North Korea is capable of becoming a powerful ally to China in any possible war.
Yes, South Korea is stronger and more powerful than North Korea. North Korea is bigger than South Korea doesn't mean that South Korea is weaker than North Korea. North Korea= Bigger than South Korea but South Korea has a lot more military manpower than North Korea. North Korea has more space than South Korea but South Korea have more very well trained soldiers, stronger military than North Korea, more advanced tactical nuclear weapons than North Korea, smarter and more talented than North Korea.
Not anymore, I just got Gabe Newell to sit on it. It is now nothing but a hollow crater near South Korea.
Because the North don't want to do that for some reason... They beieve that to be a strong and powerful country you need a good military whereas south Korea believe that friendship with other countries will lead to good teamwork and that will make you powerful. They don't think the same things because the north only think about war and eating up other countries. I, as a South Korean, wonder why they don't reunificate even though South Korea supply North Korea with lots of rice every month. If they unify, then North Korea will share South Korea's high economy but they just don't want to do that.... hahha?
Yes and no North Korea is not a threat currently,but have made threat against the USA. They can't launch any missiles at us they do not posses that tech. they also can't attack us with there military because they would be detected and dealt with.
