  1. Throughout the article it explains the conflicts North Korea has with several countries. The current leader is Kim Jong Un who showed his power by making military threats like his father did who was the leader before him. It mentions how North Korea has one of the largest armies and nuclear weapons which could become a threat. Although the United States and South Korea haven't seen any signs of the country breaking into war. Many countries have spoke out against North Korea because they don't approve of what's going on there. A good amount of the article is explaining the long conflict North and South Korea has had with each other. It also tells about the attempts South Korea has made to fix their problems with the country but North Korea wasn't willing to change anything. As you can see the relationship between North Korea and South Korea isn't good and hasn't been for a while.

  3. North Korea is a communistic country. North Korea is sharing a small peninsula with it's neighboring country South Korea. South Korea is a republic. The history between North Korea and South Korea is not very peaceful. It involves alot of conflict and tension between the two countries. Right now they have signed peace treaty but there is still alot of tension going on. There is also potential threat that they might just brake out in war. North Korea is continuing to raze there army and practice with nuclear weapons. As a result America has stopped supplying North Korea with food. Right now the leader of North Korea is Kim Jong Un who threats countries with his military to show his power. There might just be a threatening war against North Korea and the U.S.A.

  4. North korea has a form of government known as communism.It is now being lead by the leader Kim Jong Un.He believed in communism so he decided when he took over he would make communism a part of North Korea.The country is in a 24/7 lockdown leaving most of the citizens living a life of jepeordy.The United States and many other countries think of North korea as a place of death and horror so some decide to help.South of North Korea is South korea which is the complete oppposite of it's neighboring country.North and South Korea were once joined together until there were wars which then split the country leaving North Korea in jeopordy and violance.They now have a peace treaty but questions are being ased about what North Korea could be planning for it's neighbor.The United States have been threatened a few times by North Korea with nuclear and nonnuclear missiles.The leader of the country threatons other countries trying to show it's power.The US could see the start of a new war.

The leader of North Korea is Kim jong Sun.North korea is a communistic country.North Korea also shares a small peninsula with its neighbor South Korea which is a republic.North Korea and South Korea don’t have peaceful past in the last 60 years.There is so much conflict and tensions between the two countries.Currently the two countries have officially signed a peace treaty,but there is still more tensions than normal going on.There is just such a gigantic threat there might soon be an all out war.As we speak North Korea continues to increase the size of their army and weponry by reopening one of their nuclear plants.They reopened a plant that is capable of creating enough processed uranium to create one nuclear bomb a year.There is so much going on with North Korea right now.

  7. North Koreas government is known for communism. Many countries have spoken against Korea because of its rebellious reasons. This country is led by Kim Jong Un. He was the reason communism started in North Korea. “No country should be allowed to throw a region and even the whole world into chaos for selfish gain.”, said the President of China. Because of this, the regions of North Korea and South Korea have split. This also happened because North Korea invaded South Korea which started the Korean War. Also, North Korea is involved with plenty of nuclear weapons that can swipe out multiple places.
