What could make it possible for a communist north to exist on the Korean peninsula after the Korean war?
I recently came back from a tour in The Republic of Korea where I visited Baekdu Mountain (a pretty cool place to relax + the local food was great
)
While on my way to Pyongyang international airport, I thought about the idea of a different outcome of the Korean war after seeing an old roadside poster, which was left there when the Koreans celebrated the 60th anniversary of the UN victory in the Korean War, when they reached the Yalu river in October 25th.
So...your ideas on how would things turn out if the war wouldn't end as it did?
Could it be the communists wiping out the southerners at Pusan?
Could it be a failed operation Chromite?
Or could it be an actual Chinese (maybe an Soviet one as well) intervention when the UN reached the river? (and if so, what would happen after that?)
And if Communist North Korea survives in your scenario, what would be it's position in the world? Would it eventually fall? Would in encompass the entire peninsula or just north of the 38th (maybe there would be a different border?) Or would it grow in to regional power?
