2nd Korean War (A Silver Lining)

Korean War II or Korean War 2, commonly known as the Second Korean War or 2nd Korean War (stylised as KWII or KW2), was a conflict between North Korea and the Pacific Treaty Organisation that lasted from 2023 to 2024. How it began was when Japan and South Korea formed the Pacific Treaty Organisation against North Korea, and got more countries to join. North Korea, sees this as the right time to invade South Korea and reunify Korea under communist rule, however, the dream for a reunified Korea according to North Korea failed, and the PTO won, and the Second Korean War ended with Korea being reunified under capitalist rule. After the war, Kim Jong-un was sent to The Hague, and received 50 years in jail, but the Korean People's Army was still active and was renamed to the Juche Restoration Movement, which would later be designated as a terrorist group. The reunified Korea has to deal with many militia uprising over the following years.
== Background ==
On the 27th of July 1953, North Korea and South Korea signed an armistice. The borders were redrawn, and the 38th Parallel was turned into the Korean Demarcation Line, in which civilians were not allowed to cross the DMZ.
Following the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, Japan began to turn to North Korea. South Korea did the same as well. Along with NATO.
In 2016, North Korea tested its hydrogen bomb, which would fear the west into a nuclear war. North Korea has continued to test more nukes and missiles.
On Friday, April 8th, 2022, satellite images have heightened fears that North Korea has continued tunnelling at remote nuclear sites. North Korea has been testing more missiles since 2003. North Korea has invented its new ICBM, the Hwasong-18 on May 7, 2022. Many people went onto social media to talk to Kim Jong-un and send death threats against him and his sister. This made him angry, so he sues them for 1 billion won.
On August 23, 2022, North Korea began a military buildup on the Demilitarised Zone. This increased tension between North Korea and South Korea.
== Timeline ==
On January 11, 2023, the Pacific Treaty Organisation was formed between Japan & South Korea. 3 months later, All ASEAN members, except for Laos and Cambodia, joined the Pacific Treaty Organisation, as they were kicked from the ASEAN for secretly developing nuclear weapons. Months later, out of hate, a KPA soldier fires at a ROKA soldier, and the North Korean military cross the DMZ and encircle Seoul. Despite Seoul being captured, the South Korean government vowed to never surrender. Later, Japan and the PTO intervened in the war, and began a counterattack at Jeju.
On December, Japanese troops began to advance and approach Sejong City. The Battle of Sejong City was the second major battle in the Second Korean War, being exceeded by the Second Battle of Seoul. The battle lasted for more than 80 hours. After 80 hours, Sejong City was liberated, and now they are off to Seoul. The North Atlantic Treaty Organisation declared full support and military aid for South Korea and sent supplies to the country.
On January 1, 2024, a new year came, and PTO troops are just 600 kilometres away from Seoul. North Korea fired its next missile, with its target Darwin, but the missile failed to reach Darwin. This made North Korea angry, so they do another one, but it failed. On March 17, the KPA launch their counterattack at Chuncheon, but they are unaware that Japanese troops have landed on the shores of Wonsan and have captured it, so the KPA sends its troops to the city to defend it. The PTO, seeing that the North Koreans are distracted, decides to advance further to Seoul. Russia also declared full support for North Korea. 
During the Second Battle of Seoul, many South Korean civilians were rescued. The Korean People's Army sends its forces to all of its fronts to hold off the advancing PTO. To weaken North Korea's grip on both fronts, Japan launches 2 missiles towards Hyesan and Hamhung. Both cities are hit, leaving them uninhabited for 30 years. Later, the Battle of Kaesong began. NATO officially declared war on North Korea.
After hours of fighting in Kaesong, Hwanghae and the southern half of the Donghae Coast become major battlegrounds. Since North Korea cannot defend more than two fronts, they try to ask Russia to enter the war to help them, but they ignore it, but Russia still continues to support North Korea. With most KPA troops being killed by NATO and PTO forces, they decide to retreat to Pyongyang, the capital of North Korea, to defend the city. Russia, seeing that the advancing NATO and PTO forces are heading for Pyongyang, stops supporting North Korea and exits the war, leaving the latter to defend itself from PTO forces alone. China, after fearing that North Korea might launch a nuke towards Darwin, and joined the war on the third party and saw this as an opportunity to annex northern North Korea. North Korea saw this as an act of betrayal, thus terminating the Sino-North Korean Mutual Aid and Cooperation Friendship Treaty.
On May 8, 2024, the final battle begins, the Battle of Pyongyang. Most tanks and anti-aircraft guns are destroyed, giving North Korea a high inferiority. North Korea, in a last-ditch attempt to save itself from PTO forces, launches 5 nukes towards Seoul, Nagasaki, Perth, Ho Chi Minh City and Bangkok. The first nuke managed to hit Seoul successfully, which caused South Korea to move its capital to Busan, but the second one didn't hit Nagasaki. It just went into the ocean. The third one failed to hit Perth as it was shot down by Australian anti-aircraft guns. Luckily, Perth wasn't nuked. The fourth one also failed to hit Ho Chi Minh because it was shot down as well as the third one. The last one also failed because of the same reason for the third nuke. Kim Jong-un runs to his bunker to avoid getting killed. PTO forces eventually start running into Kim Jong-un's bunker and start looking for him. Just before PTO forces would starting pointing their guns at Kim Jong-un, he slid in his basement, where his bed and stuff were, and hid in his closet. At the same time, Austria and Ireland joined NATO.
PTO forces subsequently breach Kim Jong-un's room, and go to his slide in his basement, and find the fat supreme leader. They tried looking under his bed, under his desk and the bookcase. Although, they failed, and they were able to successfully find him in his wardrobe, and catch him hiding. He is then arrested. This officially brings an end to the Second Korean War and commencing the process of the reunification of Korea. His followers avoided the trials by either committing suicide or fleeing to uninhabited islands in the Pacific Ocean like Trash Island or Sandy Island.
== Aftermath ==
Kim Jong-un is sent to The Hague in the Netherlands by plane. He is then taken to court by US soldiers. He will be receiving 50 years in jail. By the time he is released, Kim Jong-un will be 92 years old or would pass away before that.
Despite the end of the DPRK, The reunified Korea would have to handle populations that see the reunified Korea as occupying forces. The Korean People's Army still exists, but this time they have renamed to the Juche Restoration Movement, and the DPRK still continues to exist as the Principality of Sandy Island, which is not internationally recognised. Russia provided them an artificial island to make the surface easier to stand on. They also built cities for them and built many military bases. This will result in many militia uprising funded by Iran, Russia and Sandy Island over the following years. However, the Principality of Sandy Island would end up sinking by 2100.
