Its development absolutely was by itself, even if its borders and autonomy were not. In fact, you can probably say that more about North Korea than any other country, given its policy of strict isolationism.
- ewzimm 12y agoI'm not saying the North Koreans didn't directly influence the development of their country, but they were absolutely influenced and trained by the Soviet Union. The UN passed the American resolution for elections in 1947 but without Soviet Support. It was obvious this was going to split the country indefinitely when only the American half participated. There was momentum and international support at the time for a country-wide election, but due to the Cold War, it never happened. I don't know anyone who says that the developments in Korea were anything other than Cold War proxies.
