#shorts Although they split the Korean Peninsula almost in half, the two countries are extremely different. For centuries, there was only one Korea stretching in the entire peninsula, but after the Korean War in 1953 the peninsula remained divided.

With 51 Million people, South Korea has almost double the population of North Korea. Talking about economy, the difference is enormous, with a GDP of 18 billion dollars North Korea’s economy is 100 times less than South Korea’s with 1.8 trillion dollars.

But the balance change when we look at the military capacities of the two countries, with 1.25 Million active duty personnel and around 40 nuclear warheads, North Korea is much more superior to South Korea with around 500 thousands active duty personnel and no nuclear warheads.
