The idea is from this closed thread What if North Korea attacked South Korea in 1972?.
I wouldn't be limiting the possible PODs however. What would have happened in various points of history if North Korea decided to attack?
some PODs I'd like to point out:
*possible larger rebellions of the OTL ones listed- Yeosu Rebellion, Jeju Uprising
*skirmishes along the 38th parallel during 1948~1950, before the war
*April Revolution-1960
*Blue house raid-1968
*KAL hijacking by North Korean spies-1969
*The 1972 one mentioned
*Assassination of Yuk Young-soo, First Lady-1975
*Axe Murder Incident-1976
*Border skirmishes post-war
*Assassination of Park Chung-hee-1979
*Kwangju Uprising-1980
*Rangoon Bombing-1983
*KAL bombing-1987
*Death of Kim Il-sung-1994
*"We can make Seoul into a Sea of Flames" incident-1994
*Clinton makes orders to attack North Korean nuclear facilities-1994
*Other recent ones are either impossible due to 1. "stronger" North-South relations or 2. designed to be skirmishes that do not lead to larger conflict.
So, restating the question: What If North Korea attacked South Korea in the various PODs given?
EDIT: South Korea attacking North Korea is also acceptable.
