The north-south of the Korean Peninsula dates back to the end of World War II. In 1945, after Japan's surrender, U.S. and Soviet forces quickly entered the Korean Peninsula and occupied parts of the Korean Peninsula each. This divide-and-rule situation has led to the formation of the dividing line between the north and the south, laying hidden dangers for the future. In the process of post-war reconstruction, the political, social, and economic differences on the Korean Peninsula have become more and more apparent. These differences have given rise to different ideas and political forces, each with its own goals and visions for North Korea's future.
Although the United Nations tried to promote the reunification of the peninsula through elections and conferences, these efforts eventually came to naught in the context of the Cold War. In the early 60s of the 20th century, leftist forces established a regime in the north of Korea, which further increased tensions between the North and the South. At the same time, South Korea** was established in the south and established a close military alliance with the United States.
From a historical perspective, Confucianism, philosophy, and values have been widely disseminated in North Korea, which has long been influenced by Chinese culture. However, after the DPRK**, the North established an independent theoretical system and adhered to the development path of "self-reliance"; The South, on the other hand, has opted for a free-market economic model and is actively establishing ties with Western countries. Cultural differences have widened the gap between the North and the South. The North attaches great importance to ideological education and highly respects leaders Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il; The South, on the other hand, places more emphasis on practical education and is heavily influenced by Western culture.
In addition, the international situation during the Cold War and the complex interests of various countries had a long-term impact on the process of reunification of the Korean Peninsula.
To sum up, it is difficult to achieve the reunification of Korea under two completely different political systems. Even in today's world, similar challenges are prevalent, involving power conflicts, ideological rivalries and the perpetuation of the Cold War mentality. Therefore, whether or not the Korean Peninsula can be reunified in the future is still an issue full of uncertainties and challenges. Those things in history
