1946 - North Korea's Communist Party (Korean Workers' Party - KWP) inaugurated. Soviet-backed leadership installed, including Red Army-trained Kim Il-sung.
1948 - Democratic People's Republic of Korea proclaimed. Soviet troops withdraw.
1950 - South declares independence, sparking North Korean invasion.
1990s - Young North Korean men for defectors. They would swim or sneak across the border into China.
About 15,000 defectors have settled in the South, with 4,000 arriving in the past 2 years.
Nothing has really changed. Hundreds of North Koreans are brought to South Korea for better living. But the South Korean government doesn't want to have bad relations with North Korea.
