The Democratic People's Republic of North Korea was founded on
May 1, 1948 in the zone occupied by Russian troops after World
War II. In 1950, its armies invaded and tried to conquer the
south. After 3 years of fighting, with Chinese and U.S.
intervention a cease fire was proclaimed. All industry was
nationalized in the late 1940s and has grown substantially
mainly due to rich mineral deposits and ample hydroelectric
power. Two North Korean Army officers were sentenced to death by
Burmese authorities after they confessed to the October 9, 1983
bombing which killed 17, including 4 South Korean cabinet
ministers in Rangoon. @
