North Korea was created at the end of World War II. Korea split into two major parts: the north, being led by Communist-aligned Democratic People's Republic of Korea, other wise known as DPRK, led by Kim II-Sung. Korean War broke out, and after much destruction, DPRK
failed to unify Korea. South Korea, led by US and UN troops, failed to conquer North Korea, so the war ended with Korea being divided by a demilitarized zone, thus splitting Korea into two countries: North Korea, and South Korea. This website contains information and issues that are in North Korea.
