==History==
Background
===Beginning of the War===
North Korea declared war on its southern counterpart in 2025, before it could use its artillery to attack Seoul. An American stealth strike destroyed them. Making them unusable.
===Nuking of Rason===
With their artillery destroyed, North Korea made an attempt to nuke Seoul to impede the South. North Korea sent out a 10 kiloton nuclear missile, meant to hit Seoul. Due to mathematical errors, instead of being aimed at Seoul, it was aimed at Rason. Initially the explosion killed around 575 people, but fallout sickened thousands more. Japanese and American forces eventually took the city and had it evacuated. The city remained abandoned for a long time following the war.
====Reactions====
China and Russia, North Korea's former allies, condemned the act. The nuking of Rason made Chinese leaders realize, that North Korea was an uncontrollable threat, forcing them to join the war on South Korea's side.
With the failed nuking of Seoul, North Korea tried to launch more nukes. Only to have them launch technology fail, and the exploding of the nukes in the military bases where they were located, destroying the whole North Korean nuclear arsenal.
===Siege of Pyongyang===
As the war was reaching its end, Kim Jong-un ordered all of his remaining troops to retreat back to the capital in order to protect it. On July 22, 2027, the last battle of the war begun - "The Siege of Pyongyang". Allied forces gathered all their remaining forces and led a two-month long siege on the city. On August 11th, Kim Jong-un was captured and force to signed a document declaring his surrender and the surrender of North Korea.
===Outcome===
After the war ended, captured North Korean officials, including Kim Jong-un, were put on trial. The reunification process of the southern parts of North Korea and South Korea began.
====Treaty of Beijing====
