From stepping into the ranks of developed countries with one foot to the current economic growth of negative for many years, it is obvious that the DPRK has embarked on a road of no return. After all, after the 50s of the last century, the DPRK's economy grew by leaps and bounds, slapping the developed countries in the face and making the developed countries realize that the strength of this small country should not be underestimated. As a result, in the 90s, North Korea's development was much worse than before, and the economy was still experiencing negative growth, and even now this phenomenon has not been saved. Why is North Korea on this path and never to return? Let's start by talking about how brilliant North Korea was when its economy was at its most developed. In 1953, when North Korea finally ended the war, which meant that the people of North Korea no longer had to live in misery, North Korea made a decision to immediately seize the post-war recovery work.
You must know that at that time, many infrastructure and industrial enterprises in North Korea were destroyed because of the war, and the labor force in North Korea was pitiful, after all, a lot of sacrifices had been sacrificed on the battlefield. At this time, North Korea also realized that it was necessary to enhance its own strength in order to make itself have a certain status in the international community, so North Korea immediately announced its three-year plan, and after the implementation of the three-year plan, North Korea found that the achievements were indeed very good, so he began to work on the five-year plan and the seven-year plan, which also made North Korea directly become a socialist industrialized country. At that time, North Korea's national strength was really remarkable, and even East Germany said that North Korea would definitely be able to enter the ranks of developed countries in the future. Other countries were not particularly optimistic about their development after the end of the war, but after the end of the war, North Korea's economic development became extremely rapid, and the average annual economic growth rate was extremely envied by the United States, reaching 25%.
In the 60s of the last century, there was a phenomenon of starvation in many places in our country, and many people did not know what electricity was, and at this time, North Korea had already realized the phenomenon of electricity in rural areas, and at the end of the 70s, North Korea no longer had to worry about the people going hungry. Not to mention in the 80s, when they planted grain, they didn't need to operate it manually, the machine could be operated, and at this time, their machine was also very developed, whether it was rice planting or irrigation, the machine could be realized, in this case, North Korea's total grain production directly exceeded 10 million tons. In addition, after the DPRK became developed, it did not stingy with social welfare and welfare, and immediately realized a system of free medical care and free education for all. Under such circumstances, every Korean citizen lives a very happy life. You must know that it was still in 1979, and it was difficult for many people in my country to even fill their stomachs.
It is no exaggeration to say that Japan's economic development at that time could not be compared with that of North Korea. And what we have to figure out is that Japan at that time was still backed by the United States, so why was North Korea's economy able to take off in such a short period of time? In fact, this has a lot to do with the unity of the Korean people and the help of our country and the Soviet Union to the DPRK. At that time, it would have been very difficult for North Korea to rise economically without the help of these two countries, but all this changed in the 90s of the last century, when the Soviet Union collapsed. The collapse of the Soviet Union also had a tremendous impact on North Korea, and the lives of the North Korean people became worse and worse than before. In addition, it has a lot to do with the United States and other Western countries against North Korea.
In fact, at the beginning, the United States has always had the idea that North Korea should be defeated, otherwise he would not have supported South Korea madly, but at that time, because my country and the Soviet Union were the powerful backers of North Korea, so at this time, no matter how hard the United States tried, there was no way to take North Korea, but after the collapse of the Soviet Union, the situation was different, and later North Korea embarked on the road of studying nuclear ** in order to protect its own security. North Korea's move completely touched the bottom line of the United States, the United States will never allow North Korea to develop a nuclear **, for the United States resistance, North Korea has no concern, he knows that if the nuclear ** can not be in his hands, sooner or later its development will be destroyed by the United States, so he is crazy about the study of nuclear **.
In fact, this move by the DPRK also made it very difficult for our country to behave, because at that time, as one of the five permanent members of the United Nations, our country naturally wanted to put an end to such a phenomenon, so this act of the DPRK was also opposed by us. In such a situation, North Korea also did something that made the United States even more angry, that is, a united front with Russia, and since then North Korea has been directly on the bar with the United States, and the country on the bar with the United States will end up so good? Do you think North Korea's economy is likely to grow in the future?
