What provoked the Korean War?
My answer is like this: Korea was under Japan during the World War. But when the USA threw nuclear bombs, Japan had to surrender because of its losses. So thus, Korea was left divided into North Korea and South Korea. Since North Korea is a communist, it went to USSR (Russia) and South Korea went to USA. North Korea used to keep invading South Korea to make it too come under a communist influence.So, South Korea went to ask help from the UN. So..this is the Korean Crisis.. :)
What type of military does North Korea have?
In pure numbers, North Korea's military looks formidable, much larger than the more affluent South in both personnel and equipment. The North's 1.2 million soldiers face off against 640,000 South Korean troops who are backed up by 26,000 U.S. personnel stationed in the country. However, Pyongyang's capabilities are not what the figures would suggest. Impoverished North Korea has all but abandoned running a conventional military that can engage in sustained battle because of scarce resources and has instead focused on nuclear weapons and ballistic missile technology, experts said. "A conventional military is very costly, and overwhelmingly so for North Korea. It quickly becomes a money fight and North Korea cannot win that," said Shin In-kyun, head of the Korea Defence Network, an alliance of defence experts based in Seoul. While North Korea does not presently possess the fire power to hit the USA with any kind of nuclear threat, the range of their military might and fire power does threaten South Korea and Japan. Japan, separated by less than 1,000 km (625 miles) of water and a frequent target of North Korea's ire, is also in easy range of Pyongyang's short- and mid-range missiles. North Korea has also shown it has submarine capabilities. The North's air force has more than 820 fighter jets, according to South Korea's Defence Ministry, but it does not have enough fuel to fly sorties or conduct needed drills to maintain combat effectiveness. South Korea has 460 jets. North Korea has 4,200 tanks, according to South Korea, although Seoul's 2,400 are more modern and better maintained.

Who governs North Korea 2016?
North Korea has been a communist nation for decades. The current head of state is the dictator Kim Jong-un. North Korea and Cuba are odd communist regimes. This is because in the past, it was rare that in a communist state, other leading communists have not taken to having the reins of government be passed down among family members. In Cuba we have the Castro brothers, and in North Korea Jong-un's father was the previous communist dictator. Most Marxists have no tolerance for "monarchy" style leaderships.

Who is the Top leader in north Korea?
North Korea's government does not function like the US government, so there is no exact match for the position of "vice president". There is no "President", like in the US. Instead, they have an "Eternal President", Kim Il Sung, who died 20 years ago. His grandson, Kim Jong Un, is the current ruler of North Korea; he is officially the supreme commander of the military and the head of North Korea's largest political party. Kim Jong Un's father, Kim Jong Il, is the "Eternal Chairman" of the military, even though he too is dead. The ruler of the country has always chosen his successor, and the rulers have always been from the Kim family. For this reason, North Korea is sometimes called a kingdom. Below Kim Jong Un, there is a large government apparatus that runs the country. The official head of state (that is, the person who represents the country in major diplomatic functions) is the President of the Presidium, who is sort of like the Speaker of the House of Representatives in the US; currently it is Kim Yong Nam. Below him are two vice presidents of the Presidium, and they are Yang Hyong Sop and Kim Yong Dae.
What do all laws have in common?

Will the Korean War restart or will the Korean peninsula reunify someday?
Korean War 2 is " WORLD WAR III". North Korea won't go down easily without pulling down China, USA, Russia, Japan, and South Korea. North Korean government is crazy but they are not stupid. So War is not option but it will be suicidal action for all countries surround Korean Peninsua including USA ( Hawaii, Alaska, Guam). Korean Unification will happen probably alot sooner then South Korean government expect. North Korean government cannot be isolate for along. It has been 60 years of North Korea isolation. North Korea people know the changing world. They simply cannot demonstrate or go against North Korean government. North Korea working class citizens are afraid " North Korean Law". Gun shot to the head. The new North Korean dictator is immature.
