“The Korean War was the result of irreconcilable political differences between Communist North Korea

and the US-controlled South” (BBC.)

North Korea was established on September 9, 1948, after the end of World War II. The country soon grew communist roots, influenced by the Soviet Union.

“The subsequent Korean War was the result of irreconcilable political differences between Communist North Korea and the US-controlled South” (BBC.)

However, the dilemmas between North Korea and its neighbors are still at large.

In October 2006, knowledge of North Korea’s Nuclear Weapon program emerged, causing tension across the globe. In 2007, there was discourse about North Korea dismantling their nuclear program, but this has not occurred.

Despite international opposition, North Korea test-fired a ballistic missile in April, 2009. As a result, the United Nations Security Council tightened sanctions on North Korea, which reacted by, “expelling international nuclear inspectors and declaring its intention to revive its atomic weapons program” (Times.)

Korea, operating in the same fashion, claimed to have “successfully conducted its second nuclear test, again defying international warnings” (Times) in May, 2009.

The United Nations intensified North Korea’s sanctions, including allowing UN members to inspect North Korean cargo vessels. Other measures, such as the freezing of North Korean overseas bank accounts, have been taken by the international community.

As of October 6, 2009, North Korea announced it wanted direct talks between North Korea
