It's a cake. Nothing more, that's why nukes are never launched, except atop of some Iraqi civilians via tactical silver bullets.
Korea was in the hands of the Japanese and their loss in WW2 is what caused the division between North and South Korea. The best thing that could have happened was for the entire nation to be handed over to the west. Where would you rather live today, North or South Korea?
South Korea is an independent and successful nation because of the opportunity for democracy afforded to it by the west after the war. An opportunity they have done much with to their credit. North Korea is a disaster because the insane communist Kim Ill-Sung and his cult of personality received support from the communists who would rather see a nut case in charge than have open democracy.
South Korea was a dictatorship up until 1988. It's simply a case that the path taken by South Korean dictators (increased economic development and prosperity) created a populace willing and able to fight back when the last dictator (Chun) became incrasingly Kim like.
