abstract:The History of DPRK began with occupation of the Korean Peninsula north of the 38th parallel by the Soviet Union at the end of World War II, a division of Korea with the United States occupying the south. When the joint trusteeship failed due to Soviet intransigence, the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) was established in 1948.
Mr. SUN: I think this type of diplomacy is not confined to Kim Jung-il himself, because in the historyof 60 years ofNorth Korea's regime, they have been using same tactic.
China has a long historyof using NorthKorea as a buffer against the US. Since the end of the Korean War, they have been leery of our strong alliance and our military presence in South Korea.
