Both “Postwar Reconstruction and a Declaration of Self-reliance, 1953-55” by Charles Armstrong and “North Korea’s Vinalon City: Industrialism as Socialist Everyday Life” by Cheehyung Kim focus on the post-Korean War reconstruction of North Korea as a model of the socialist economic development. The authors analyze the rise of North Korea as a showcase of socialist industrialization with “fraternal” supports from the whole Eastern Bloc, the role of this rapid` industrialization in consolidating Kim Il Sung’s power, and external and internal backgrounds behind the North’s gradual transition from an externally dependent economy to an autarky after the initial years of industrialization. Armstrong argues that “fraternal” assistances from the USSR, the PRC, and the Eastern European countries as well as its strict adherence to Stalinist economic programs with the heavy emphasis on heavy industries were the two biggest characteristics of the rapid industrialization of North Korea. Armstrong summarizes, “through a combination of tremendous work and sacrifice on the part of the North Korean people, generous economic and technical assistance from the “fraternal” socialist countries, and the

Of the religions we have studied Taoism and Buddhism share the most connected history. Both religions have a great deal influence over many eastern countries, especially China. They both express a need and pursuit of virtue, wisdom, and a correct way to live life. They share the use of temples and shrines for worship and have many monasteries all over the world.

Contrastly, after a war, although there may be a written pact between countries, there would still be war tension. It is hard for them to rebuild this relationship that has already suffered greatly. To add on, if there would be more problems that arise there may be more violence rather than being the countries acting peacefully about the issue. When countries resort to peaceful protests or talks, there is less tension in that people are not dying, the governments do not have to be afraid when the next attack will be, and the atmosphere is much calmer allowing for more peace in the future. There is also less of a chance that other countries may have to get involved and be forced to choose a side.
