Your question makes very little sense.\n\nKorea separated alontg the 38th parallel into the communist north and the democratic south.  The Korean War began when the north invaded the south, taking almost the entire peninsula.  The Americans joined in and helped the south Koreans push the north back almost to the Chinese border, when Chinese and Soviet forces aided the north Koreans and pushed the front back to the center of the peninsula, where the demilitarized zone lies today.\n\nSo, North Korea existed (briefly) before the Korean War began, if that's what you're asking.

This website is for the World Almanac For Kids, but it seems pretty grown-up in its explanation:\n\nhttp://www.worldalmanacforkids.com/explore/us_history/korean_war.html\n\nDepending on how you want to approach it, here is a link for an interesting human story of one soldier who sent a memento back to his mother from Korea during the war:\n\nhttp://www.kshs.org/cool3/pajamas.htm\n\nTelling the story to kids by relating it to people who were in the war may soften the blow of the harsh reality of war.  Good luck!

Kim Il-sung (15 April 1912 – 8 July 1994) was the leader of North Korea from its founding in 1948 until his death, when he was succeeded by his son Kim Jong-il. He held the posts of Prime Minister from 1948 to 1972 and President from 1972 to his death, although his real power came from his position as General Secretary of the Korean Workers' Party. North Korea officially refers to him as the "Great Leader" and he is designated in the constitution as the country's "Eternal President." His birthday and the day of his death are public holidays in North Korea.\n\n\nHe convinced Stalin to let him Invade South Korea in 1950, he told Stalin that the US would not help. 56 years later, the DMZ is still here and so is the threat of War.

The Cold War in the 1950s was marked by a policy of containment adopted by the United States as well as a policy of Peaceful Coexistence adopted in the wake of the death of Stalin by the USSR under Kruschev. Both policies led to a consolidation of spheres of interest and boundaries, with the aim of minimizing the risk of the outbreak of another major war, after the example that had been set up the Korean War.

Phillipines?\nGrenada?\n\nDepending on your definition, "intervention" could mean simply military support or sales of arms.  That could include almost any country while not directly aligned against the US.  South Korea and Thailand, Saudi Arabia, Germany, France, Italy, etc.\n\nAs an interesting side-assignment, count up the number of USSR interventions and compare.  Try the 1945 - 1990 timeline.  Also examine communist rule vs. US rule while in control. (Pol Pot vs. Norodom Sihanouk, Ho Chi Minh vs. Ngo Dinh Diem, Eastern Europe before, during, and after)

The Korean War that broke out in 1950 was a concrete starting point of the Cold War, with the countries of the world aligning themselves with either the United States or the Soviet Union. More important, it was also a microcosm of the intense global struggle between the democratic and communist blocs. As such, the frontline of the Korean War was the frontline of the forces of God and the forces of Satan which have formed two distinct currents in history.

In the case of the United States dropping an atomic bomb on Japan, there was a World War going on with Japan using military power to take over countries all over the world.  The United States was a non-participant in these events until it was attacked by Japan at Pearl Harbor, thereby declaring war on the United States and opening itself up to attack by United States forces.\n\nJapan had declared that there would be no surrender and it had begun arming all of its civilians to resist invasion.  The estimated death toll from a direct assault on the main island of Japan was in the millions based on extrapolation of the death toll from the capture of Okinawa.\n\nAs for North Korea, there has yet to be a declared war between North Korea and the United States and while there are scattered conflicts occurring throughout the world, there is definately not a war of the scale of World War II currently happening.\n\nThe decision to drop two atomic bombs on Japan was calculated to end one conflict, the one with Japan.  There was never any belief that these events would bring an end to all the war in the world. History has shown that there will always be another power to step in and fill the void when another power is removed or collapses. If Korea did follow your suggestion to attack the United States with nuclear weapons and was successful in toppling the United States, that would merely create a vaccuum for the next power to step into.\n\nIf your plan follows the same path as post World War II, that would merely place North Korea in the position of being the world's superpower and having them "bully" their way around the world, eventually leading to someone from another nation, perhaps a South American country, to post a similar question, this time being "North Koreans say, NK nuked US to end the war. Is it acceptable, Argentina nuke NK to end the war in the world?"

We still are at war with N.Korea. No peace treaty was ever signed and ratified. It has be the longest cease fire in history. People still get killed along the D.M.Z.between the 2 Korea's.

President Truman fired General Douglas MacArthur for insubordination during the Korean Conflict.  \n\nThe General wished to wage all-out war against the North Korean/communist forces.  President Truman was unable and unwilling to support and authorize such a tactic.  He, therefore, terminated General MacArthur's command of the US forces in Korea.

Myanmar, officially the Union of Myanmar (also known as Burma or the Union of Burma by bodies and states who do not recognize the ruling military junta), is the largest country (in geographical area) in mainland Southeast Asia. It is bordered by Tibet and the People's Republic of China on the north, Laos on the east, Thailand on the southeast, Bangladesh on the west, and India on the northwest, with the Andaman Sea to the south, and the Bay of Bengal to the southwest. There are over 2,000 kilometres (1,243 mi) of coastline. The country was ruled by a military junta led by General Ne Win from 1962 to 1988, and its political system today remains under the tight control of its military government, since 1992, led by Senior General Than Shwe.
