The First Republic of Bohseon

The First Republic of Bohseon

Pre-Origin (Breaks fourth wall)
Dating back from Korean ancestors, NS World Census history scholars estimate that an alternate universe scenario started to play within real Korea (called "Johseon" back then) around a decade before Japanese Annexation, which is around 1905. Records from books, photos, and witnesses started to differ from one another, which is believed to be the "Distortion Period" where the name "Bohseon" started to appear. There were many similarities during the time period of 1905-1945, but distorted and omitted facts, dates, and occurrences were present when presenting the two histories of Bohseon and Korea (called "Johseon" back then) side by side. It was not until 1945 when Bohseon fully broke off from Korea and became it's own country in the alternative universe, fully being omitted from existence in the real world when Bohseon entered the NS RP world. Since then, Bohseon has been entirely it's own nation without any relation to Korea besides it's official language. To this day, Korean citizens have never heard of Bohseon except for gibberish on ancient historic records, and Bohseonian citizens have never heard of Korea at all. To explain it simply, there were two copies of Korea, which the "2nd Copy of Korea" slowly became different from it's counterpart due to historic and RP distortion, which became to be known as Bohseon today. On another important fourth wall breaking, nobody knows for sure of Bohseon was called "Bohseon" or "Korea" during the Civil War. Historians have no clue of Bohseon was named after Yun Boh-Seon or if it was just a coincidence. Recently, there was also a proposed idea that Bohseon could have possibly "existed" before 1000 AD and have a coincidental exact history with the real Korea ranging from 1000-1950 AD.

Origin
Bohseon was created when the Johseonian-Bohseonian Civil War started, as the original country, "Koryuh" was split in half in 1948. The west side of Koryuh became The Republic of Bohseon, and the east side became The Communist Democratic People's of Johseon. This happened due to unknown and non-existent foreign influences, although traceable and felt by witnesses.

Johseonjan-Bohseonian Civil War
In the early mornings on the 25th of June, 1950. Johseonian Battle Tanks and infantry (backed up by other Communist Forces) marched through the new 83rd parallel border and quickly took the capitol of Jewon in a matter of hours. The Republic of Bohseon's population was soon forced down to a small village at the very end of Bohseon. Those who were lucky and could afford it were evacuated by boat and plane to the Bohseon Island, which was the only remaining major city in Bohseon. The small village, named Janghi, was known as a living hell during the start of the war, due to massive overcrowding and supply shortages, including food. Thankfully, an epidemic of the common cold that could've erupted and killed off the Bohseonian population, missionaries and volunteers from aiding countries have stopped the epidemic by speedy mass vaccinations, which proved to be very successful.

Frigate Ship with Bohseonian Citizens headed towards Bohseon Island.

The first and most predominant military, The Military of The Free Lands of The Dolanets Islands, arrived at Janghi and pushed east and swiftly defeated the frontline force of The Johseonian Army, eventually recapturing most of the Capitol of Jewon on the early days of September in the First Battle of Jewon, which was a massive battle of urban warfare.

The First Retake of Jewon (2nd Battle of Jewon)
TNP and Dolanets Islands forces pushed west at a fast rate, recapturing minor cities and towns which were controlled by poorly defended and planned Communist Johseonian Forces due to Johseonian Soldiers just arriving at their "strongholds". Eventually, the Bohseonian forces, backed by TNP and Dolanet Island armies arrived at Jewon. The battle was classified as an urban warfare hell as camouflaged savage Johseonian Commandos fought to the literal death. Perhaps the most well-known terror of the battle were the incredibly large number of explosive traps that were hidden in the most unexpected places. One notable trap was after the battle when the TNP forces were victorious. When Dolanets Islands infantry were clearing up a small village's massacred corpses. Several soldiers ranging from 7-15 were handling multiple bodies from a water well. One soldier reported that he heard a small click, and an explosion occurred from the well. The bomb was filled with shrapnel and was designed to injure and mutilate instead of kill, which was strategically planned by Johseonian Commandos so that the shrapnel that injures the soldiers' heads wouldn't kill them, so they would have to be extensively maintained by doctors and medical supplies, which would drain the Bohseonian budget. The battle raged for about a week before TNP and Dolanets Islands forces had a secure grip on the capital. But it would be a full 2 months before the city was cleared of all communist forces.

Strategic Retreat from Jewon and The Third Battle of Jewon
The Head General and Leader of the new-founded nation, Yun Boh-Seon proposed a strategic military idea to other generals and leaders that were helping Bohseon in the war. He proposed that military forces should retreat from Jewon and evacuate citizens, leaving Johseon open to regain and recapture. The reason behind this was because a notable and specially noted cold winter was approaching, which proved to be very deadly. Other traps and "dummy corpses" were scattered around the city when Johseonian forces peacefully captured the city. When Johseonian forces occupied the city, they were horrified to fall to the same traps that they set up. Another deadly factor was that all heating machines and fireplaces were destroyed, as well as train tracks and roads that lead back to other cities were demolished so that soldiers that wanted to return to safer cities, they couldn't, thus making a rather large brigade of forces stranded, staved, and froze to death.

2nd Advancement towards Johseon
After the winter thawed out and melted, Yun Boh-Seon ordered a march towards Johseon. Advancing troops were met with heavy fire and artillery. Regardless, they moved forward, eventually capturing Johseon's capital and 90% of it's territory. Although less chaotic than the Battle of Jewon, Bohseonian forces were met with the same, but this time, ineffective traps as well as communist commandos and hideaways.

Espionage Intervention
Just when Bohseon thought the war would be over, communists spies and sleeper-agents launched an all-out suicide attack in the streets of Jewon.

Major buildings and government buildings were heavily bombed from the inside, continuously bombed until even the rubble couldn’t be identified. High-ranking officials and key figures were all swiftly assassinated close range by the same silenced USP pistols, which were issued to police officers and military police. To this day, nobody could explain how these common people obtained these highly secure weapons. Those who assassinated high-ranking officials were close friends or trusted people in Bohseon, almost to the point that their reputation was well known and welcome around citizens in Jewon. At least 50 sleeper agents were witnessed by people when they eliminated their targets at the time of the attack, and a total number of 189 spies (sleeper agents, terrorists, and spies) were estimated to have taken part of the Espionage Attack of Jewon by historians.

The terrorists’ job was to wreck havoc on citizens and buildings as much as possible. Historians and experts have no idea how these terrorists smuggled in high-caliber machine guns, bazookas, and grenades. Major buildings such as The Bohseonian Government Center or the recently established Bohseonian International Trade Center. Civilians were horribly massacred in masses.

Other things done by the communist spies were sending both classified, confidential, and out-of-the-normal information by both code and messenger. This included invasion dates, high-ranking officials, Jewon environment, and other information. The code sent and received by Johseonian military were never cracked, intercepted, or detected by Bohseonian officials until much later, which was around a decade after the war ended.

Bohseonian Setback and Eventual Ceasefire
Since barely any sizable unit was deployed at or near the capital, most frontline forces were forced (no pun intended) to draw back in large numbers towards the capital, allowing the enemy to regain their almost all their territory without a fight. It was later found that barely any communist could be found at the scene of disaster except a few that didn't fight to the death. In addition, crucial information was used and received by Johseon in order to recapture important and key cities that aided their supply and troops (including recruits).

Eventually, the two colliding nations agreed to a permanent armistice, which is unlike the ceasefire, permanently ends the war as a stalemate instead of a temporary ceasefire. This created the line of the 83rd parallel, dividing the two countries.

Life After the War
The aftermath of the war consisted of deporting POWs, cleaning up bodies in the streets, identifying bodies, and other depressing tasks taken up by volunteers, military, and citizens. Soldiers lost in Johseon were respectively returned to Bohseon and vise versa, with Johseonian bodies returning to Johseon in an orderly and respectful fashion. Yun Boh-Seon was automatically named President of the Republic of Bohseon and had written an agenda for Bohseon's future.

Short-Term Presidency and a Coup D'etat
The President's main goals were to modernize the economy and industry, establish free democratic ideologies throughout Bohseon while maintaining freedom such as freedom of speech, and establish diplomatic relations with other countries. In a sense, these goals have been achieved, but not in a significant amount.

On May 16th, 1962, a coup arranged by military leaders within The Bohseonian Armed Forces took President hostage. The Republic of Bohseon was forced to remake their entire government. Keeping the same name as "Free Democratic Republic" government status, but in reality it, it technically became a near-dictatorship with minimal power and voice from the people.
