The Korean peninsula is divided between North Korea and South Korea along the 38th parallel. While both countries were devastated by the Korean War, they have since taken very different paths - North Korea embracing isolationism and totalitarianism under Kim Il-sung and his successors, while South Korea engaged with globalization and eventually transitioned to democracy. South Korea utilized the chaebol system of large conglomerates to rapidly industrialize and become an export powerhouse, though this also led to economic and political instability at times. In contrast, North Korea's policy of juche or self-reliance has left it impoverished and repressive.

The Korean peninsula is divided just slightly north of the
38th parallel. It is said to be a “Demilitarized Zone,” called
The DMZ. This separated the country into two political The
areas. Each gained international acceptance trading in
countries such as Canada, the United States, Russia, and
DMZ.
China, and in International Organizations, (IO's) such as
the United Nations, (UN). Each sought independence as
countries, and a form of union. North Korea and South
Korea are compared by Konya, Schlegal, and Baldwin, as
accepted countires with borders, stability, and political
order with the required transportation, economic stability,
and political freedom.
Etcetera. The template lists the irrelevant rubber-stamp "parliament," the Supreme People's Assembly, the probably nonexistent Political parties in North Korea
(besides the WPK), and the staged Elections in North Korea. Is Kim Il-sung less relevant than these?

6. History: Korean War
Soviets and Americans decide to divide Korea into their own sphere of
influence
North and South (1948)
Secretary of State Dean Acheson neglected to include Korea in the
US sphere of influence in Asia.
Kim Il Sung took initiative to invade the South (1950)
Kim Il-sung, also romanised as Kim Il Sung (15 April 1912 – 8 July 1994),
was the leader of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea ,
commonly referred to as North Korea, from its establishment in 1948
until his death in 1994.... Wikipedia.
Feb 2011 – Kim Il - Sung , the father of communist North Korea, began his
political life by fleeing Japanese rule of his homeland.
www.time.com/time.
Kim Il Sung , the son of peasants, was born in Korea in 1912. The
family emigrated to Manchuria and Kim attended a Chinese school.

War ends ends in stalemate, 38th parallel, DMZ

16. History: North Korea
After Korean War, Kim Il Sung takes
over
Nationalization versus Chaebol
“people’s” property versus the highly
private chaebol
while abuses in both, higher standard
of living obvious only in one
Juche (self-reliance)
closed all capital flow
"the hermit kingdom”
Militarization versus Chaebol
to secure power Kim Il Sung diverted
a third economy for military instead
of economic reform (South Korea,
3%)
22 million population, 1.2 million
military
wastes the most able-bodied men of
society with unproductive job
famines every year, starving people
