They used to be one country, but at one point, Japan attacked Korea and ruled over it. After the Japanese left, Korea was very poor. Some people felt they would be better off with communism, and they set up a communist regime in the north. The South became a democracy.
So They have the same cultures and language, but very different government types.

If North Korea started a war with South Korea what actions would the USA Japan and China take?
Probably if North Korea started a war, USA would go on and help South Korea for they are more friendly and because of similar government. China would help North Korea because of their similar government too. Japan would help South Korea because they are more of a close friend.
