North Korea Notes-
NPT (Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty)- If you didn't already make nuclear weapons, then you can't do develop any now (if you signed the treaty) Most people didn't like that because they wanted to be able to protect themselves.
People that have backed out of the treaty (so far) and made nuclear weapons-
Pakistan- either never signed it or dropped out of the treaty
India- either never signed it or dropped out of the treaty
North Korea- backed out
Israel- backed out
IAEA- the group that goes to different countries and inspects that people are following the rules.
In 1994, Us and NK signed a deal where US would help build two nuclear power reactors in NK.
In 2002, President Bush charges that NK, Iraq and Iran are an "Axis of Evil." Later that year, NK admits to having a nuclear weapons program and nullifies 1994 deal.
In 2003, the Six Party talks start (US, SK, NK, China, Russia, Japan) Their going to be diplomats and talk about things.
In 2005, NK agreed to halt nuclear weapon program in exchange for security and economic and trade benefits. Shortly after North Korea Backs out of the deal.
In 2006, North Korea announced it had successfully conducted its first nuclear test (underground.) Later on in that year North Korea agreed to resume talks with the Six Party Talks.
In 2007, a new deal is reached in which North Korea would halt production of nuclear weapons in exchange for 400 million or fuel and aid.
Then In 2008, NK destroys its biggest nuclear weapons plant. Later on NK complains that President Bush still had not removed NK from a list of "states that support terrorism". Bush does so the next month.
