North Korean Questionnaire

1. Do some research and explain the origin of the North Korean Communist Regime.

The official flag of North Korea

     In 1910, after the 5-year Russo-Japanese War, Japan annexed the peninsula of Korea as a colony. By that way, the king Gojong was removed, and the entire nation of Korea became a district of the Japanese empire, which made a lot of efforts and investments (hydro-electric dams, steel mills, manufacturing plants, energy stations...) to convert Korea into a more industrialized nation, removing the subsistence farming in which the Korean economy was based. Besides, this political crisis in Korea led to the appearance of radical and nationalist groups in the interior of the peninsula and in Manchuria, which were influenced by the early communist party of Russia. For that reason, Japan failed in his aim to unify the entire Korea under his government, and when the World War II finished, the peninsula of Korea and the rest of the colonies of Japan were divided between the USSR and the USA. According to this treatment, the Korean Peninsula was divided in two parts taking the 38º parallel as the dividing line between the Soviet zone and the American zone. The northern area was left to the soviets and the southern part was left to the Americans that take the control of the capital Seoul. Although in the first moment the aim was to unify the two Koreas, the politics, ideologies and the emerging Cold War separated both countries. At the beginning of North Korea as a separated nation from South Korea, the Provisional Government (Provisional People's Committee for North Korea) was established. Kim Il-Sung, a fervent communists from Korea that belonged to the nationalist's movements that took place after the Russo-Japanese War, was set as the provisional premier.
