1/15

Today in Human Geo, we went over what will be on the test tomorrow. Here are the notes that I took. 

Government: Stalinist

Capitol: Pyongyang

Identify: Japan, North Korea, South Korea, China, Russia

Isolated

First Leader: Kim Il-Sung (made to look perfect)

Viewed as a god

Citizens are told untrue facts about him and are required to show extreme devotion to him

Closest thing to religion is their idea of Ju Che - We don't need you

Kim Il-Sung invaded South Korea in 1950

Korean war was started

We killed many people by bombs to save and defend South Korea

When he died:

Second Leader: Kim Jong-Il

Statues and portraits of Kim Il-Sung and Kim Jong-Il next to each to show that "Yes its very upsetting that Kim Il-Sung has died but Kim Jong-Il is great too)

Some untrue facts citizens are told: When he was born, winter became spring and learned to walk at 8 weeks old

When he died:

Kim Jong-un at the age of 32

Thought to be the one to change the vicious ruling of North Korea became he has seen other parts of other countries and played basketball and video games

But sadly, no...

One of the first things he did as leader: Threatened to bomb the US

Tries to establish things by being his own person/leader by: Firing 5 of the people that carried his father when he passed

Kim Jong-Un killed his uncle and other extended parts of his family

North Korea's army is almost as big as ours with 1.1 million soldiers

Five of the eight sovereign states that have successful detonated nuclear weapons are considered to be "nuclear-weapon states" are under the terms of NPT
