North Korea: a radical regime by Nicole Gibson https://padlet.com/nicoloney21/v92h9cmscoyi Made by RRR Representatives en-us 2019-09-09 22:50:52 UTC 2025-12-17 23:33:40 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/icons/Balance.png 11. Mass famine and deaths nicoloney21 https://padlet.com/nicoloney21/v92h9cmscoyi/wish/381893509 After the collapse of the USSR in the early 1990s, Russia withdrew food support from North Korea, and there was a shocking famine across the country, leading to up to 2 million deaths. The North Korean government blamed this on the need to defend the country against the USA, using propaganda to convince its people. This graph shows the infant mortality rate compared to Vietnam - one indication of the suffering of the North Korean people.]]> 2019-09-09 23:01:29 UTC https://padlet.com/nicoloney21/v92h9cmscoyi/wish/381893509 11. How could the North Korean people survive under such terrible living conditions with food shortages, famine and high infant mortality? nicoloney21 https://padlet.com/nicoloney21/v92h9cmscoyi/wish/381894265 2019-09-09 23:05:40 UTC https://padlet.com/nicoloney21/v92h9cmscoyi/wish/381894265 11. I feel shocked at the extent of the deaths of North Koreans due to man made famine, created because of political ideology. I also feel angry and a little confused about how a government could allow its people to suffer so much. nicoloney21 https://padlet.com/nicoloney21/v92h9cmscoyi/wish/381894492 2019-09-09 23:06:54 UTC https://padlet.com/nicoloney21/v92h9cmscoyi/wish/381894492 19) The above map shows a rough estimate of the number of people who would need humanitarian assistance in different parts of North Korea. It shows that the US and South Korean militaries would need to enter the North to provide aid, maintain order so it can be distributed, and prepare for the reunification of the Koreas.The collapse of North Korea, then, would mean a humanitarian crisis in which millions of refugees are projected to try to stream across the Chinese border — and the likely presence of a rival military presence right on China’s border.Therefore, China can’t credibly threaten to cut off trade in a way that would seriously undermine the government in Pyongyang without risking disaster, and Kim Jong Un knows it wen0007 https://padlet.com/nicoloney21/v92h9cmscoyi/wish/381952644 2019-09-10 03:23:30 UTC https://padlet.com/nicoloney21/v92h9cmscoyi/wish/381952644 12) the map below shows just one of the many prison camps used in North Korea to hold citizens. Amnesty International estimated that in 2016 120,000 people were held in camps such as these where people are subject to “rape, infanticide, torture, deliberate starvation, forced labor, and executions.” These camps are used by the North Korean government to control and scare citizens into bending to their will by not only taking those accused of crimes against the government, but their families as well by association. romyodo https://padlet.com/nicoloney21/v92h9cmscoyi/wish/381952789 2019-09-10 03:24:09 UTC https://padlet.com/nicoloney21/v92h9cmscoyi/wish/381952789 7) Where the Korean border lies today https://padlet.com/nicoloney21/v92h9cmscoyi/wish/381952837 The map below shows the border between North and South Korea, surrounded by the DMZ (demilitarised zone), which neither side is allowed to enter, and is heavily militarised.

The location isn't identified so the North Korean government is unaware that they needs to cover up the evidence of war crimes there. It has been put together by a Korean human rights group, based on interviews with people in the area who have escaped. It shows that this happens rather regularly, and the government's willingness to apply brutality.]]> 2019-09-10 03:26:10 UTC https://padlet.com/nicoloney21/v92h9cmscoyi/wish/381953299 16) Why North Korea is so scared of planes flying over the country?

The post WWII division proved unstable, with both the Communist North and the Capitalist South claiming to be the legitimate government of Korea. In June 1950, with support from Joseph Stalin, North Korea's leader Kim Il Sung invaded the South. The North nearly gained control over the South. However the US intervened, with endorsement from the United Nations. coa00041 https://padlet.com/nicoloney21/v92h9cmscoyi/wish/381953771 2019-09-10 03:28:12 UTC https://padlet.com/nicoloney21/v92h9cmscoyi/wish/381953771 10 https://padlet.com/nicoloney21/v92h9cmscoyi/wish/381953819 Lights out in North Korea - represents the light pollution coming from the country.

After the invasion and battle of Inchon, US and South Korean troops nearly reconquered the entire Korean Peninsula. Mao’s government warned the US to stay away from the Yalu River, which forms the boundary between North Korea and China — a warning that was ignored. Chinese forces streamed across the border in October 1950, attacking the US-led coalition.
