Reading up on the Blue House Raid attempt got me thinking that if successful (resulting in the death of Park Chung-Hee that is), aside from South Korea possibly retaliating by doing the same towards Kim Il-Sung, how will it lead to a resumption of hostilities in the Korean peninsula? And if so...

A lot of historical reading over years has given me this idea, but the two articles I'm linking summarize my line of thinking fairly comprehensively. Taiwan: https://nationalinterest.org/blog/buzz/question-why-didnt-mao-invade-taiwan-60837 Yugoslavia...

Let's say that, at the end of the cold war (to be more specific, sometime between the fall of the Berlin Wall and the fall of the USSR, maybe Kim il Sung's death at latest), North and South Korea manage to reunify under the Southern government. What would make this possible? What kind of effects...

Basic POD is that the Soviets put someone else other than Kim in charge of North Korea. What other options are there and how would their leadership affect the development of North Korea compared to OTL?

So I what ask here is what if North Korea had managed to be still less lucky even with Chinese help and thus lost their provinces of Hwanghae and Kangwon provinces to South Korea in the Korean War? What Syngman Rhee would do to these two provinces? Would Ri Chun-hee even have survived and if so...

Most of us are familiar with the Imjin War, or the Japanese Invasions of Korea. This was an attempt by Toyotomi Hideyoshi to conquer Joseon Korea and then move on to conquer China. He organized many clans' armies into a force to invade the peninsula. However, his efforts failed due to 1) Naval...

With a POD of post-1945, create a timeline with a Unified Korea and a Communists North Japan and capitalist South Japan.

Hey all, So, as we all know, the Korean Peninsula has been divided since the late 1940s. At the beginning, the North was a Soviet client state under the presidency of Kim Il-sung, while the South was an American client state under Syngman Rhee. Both were brutal dictatorships, both were puppets...

What if the US won the Korean War? Or if the Korean War never even happened? How would things change (other than no North Korea)? How would a united Korea change pop culture as we know it?

As it says on the tin. Make the Korean People's Association in Manchuria, an anarcho-communist political formation in East Asia, survive longer than 1931. Bonus points if you are able to provide a scenario where it takes over Japanese Korea during or after WWII. A starting point could be having...

It's been long established that a victorious North Korea in the Korean War (at least with a POD where either the USA doesn't intervene heavily early on or messes up in the war) would go on to unite the peninsula and yet have a different kind of regime that's less like OTL's hellhole yet still...
