After World War 2, the Empire of Japans colonial rule over korea was ended. When this happened the United States and the Soviet Union agreed to share Korea in a trusteeship, in hopes of converting Korea into a free and independent nation. Elections where set to occur in two zones of Korea to create a system of government that was fair and organized. When it came election day, the Soviet Union desided not to go along with the United Nations plans, canceling the election. This created a communist state in the north and a pro-western state in the south. Korea was now divided in half near the 38th parallel thus, creating North and South Korea.


The current state that North Korea is in is not a good one. With Kim Jong-Un as dictator, the people are unhappy and sick. After the split of Korea into North and South Korea, the people have been deprived of basic necessities such as food and more importantly, information. Under the rule of Kim Jong-Un, there is no internet in North Korea, no tv, no radio, and no means of contact to the outside world. The people of north Korea are in the dark and Kim Jong-Un plans to keep it that way. In recent years, attempts from outsiders and defectors have been successful in smuggling in information secretly. Using bribery, balloons, and other means of transportation, Money and USB flash drives containing popular T.V. shows and movies, have been smuggled into North Korea. Although Kim Jong-un is trying to stop it, its not easy to stop such a constant flow of information.


There will be a regime change, time is the only factor. When it will happen is unknown but the peoples eyes are opened thanks to the help of outsiders. When they realize what a truly controlling place they live in, the government will be overturned. Kim Jong-Un may be powerful, but the power of many can easily rip him of his power.
