Even though North Koreans detonated its first nuclear device in 2006, they had actually been very interested in them since 1960's. They have many times tried to get nuclear technology from other communist countries but these weren't very cooperative as it was feared that North Koreans would share their technology with China.

How early it could be possible for them to develop their own nuclear weapons? How they could have achieved this? And how earlier nuclear armed North Korea would have changed international politics?
