If Korea was reunified in 2025

Synopsis
In an alternate history, what if Korea was reunified in 2025, after the peace treaty was signed in 1990’s?

History
In 1990’s, the North Korean famine is a nation-wide disaster in North Korea. Because of this, South Korean President Kim Young-Sam begins to hold talks with the leaders of the world nations, including the United States. During the negotiations, President Kim Young-Sam, inspired by the German reunification in 1990, began to talk of starting a Korean reunification, but China refuses to allow it. However, the members of the European Union suggest making a reunified Korea into a neutral country, similar to Switzerland. This plan increases the idea from the South Korean leaders and other world leaders. To do this, they must negotiate with North Korea into making peace with South Korea, by offering them food aid from the world nations, if they signed a peace treaty. The deal was that if North Korea signed a peace treaty, the world nations will help bring food aid to North Korea. Once a peace treaty is signed, North Korea will make peace with South Korea and begin trading with the world nations. And after North Korea’s economy recovers, the Korean reunification will begin in 2025, but the U.S. Forces will withdraw from Korea that will become a neutral buffer state, which is nicknamed the “Switzerland of East Asia”, due to its neutrality. The reunified Korea will become a neutral zone, between China and the U.S. military forces in Japan. The world leaders begin to accept the idea, but are still concerned of North Korea’s nuclear program. However, South Korean President Kim Young-Sam convinces them that North Korea will sign a peace treaty to end the nuclear program as part of a deal to bring food aid and economic recovery to North Korea. After the successful negotiations, South Korean President Kim Young-Sam begins to start a deal with North Korea by explaining his planned ideas to them, but North Korean Leader Kim Jong-Il angrily blames South Korea and the United States for their actions, during the Korean War and after that. In desperation, President Kim Young-Sam convinces U.S. President Bill Clinton to start a heartfelt apology speech to North Korea as part of the deal, but President Bill Clinton told him that North Korea is the one that started the Korean War and that the U.S. did not started it. However, President Kim Young-Sam told him that a heartfelt apology speech will gain North Korea’s trust with South Korea and the U.S., despite North Korea’s actions, during the Korean War. Days later, U.S. President Bill Clinton began to start a heartfelt apology speech to North Korea to gain their trust and to restore their friendship. Because of President Bill Clinton’s heartfelt apology speech to North Korea, North Korean leader Kim Jong-Il was convinced by South Korean President Kim Young-Sam to sign a peace treaty with South Korea and the United States as part of a deal to bring food aid to North Korea. South Korea also began a heartfelt apology speech to North Korea, revealing their guilt and remorse to them. Due to the North Korean famine and under pressure by the Chinese Government and the North Korean officials, North Korean leader Kim Jong-Il was forced to accept the agreement. In January 18th, 1997, North and South Korea sign an historic treaty ensuring long lasting peace between the two nations. The food aid from South Korea, China, United States, Pakistan, Japan and the European Union, are being sent to North Korea. Also, as part of a deal, North Korea signs an agreement with South Korean President Kim Young-Sam that if Kim Jong-Il dies from old age with no appointed successor, they will democratize North Korea. When the South Korean President Kim Dae-Jung was elected, he began the Sunshine Policy with North Korea. After Kim Jong-Il dies from Myocardial infarction in 2011, democratic elections are held with Kim Yong-Dae becoming the new President of North Korea. Meanwhile, North Korea’s economy is growing. In 2025, the Korean reunification has begun as a reunified Korea becomes a neutral buffer state between China and the U.S. military forces in Japan. The U.S. Forces has withdrawn from the Korean Peninsula.
