ABSTRACT

The terrorist explosion at Aung San Cemetery in Myanmar, which occurred on October 9, 1983, reflected the divided Korean peninsula in the Cold War. In this paper, the content of Aung San events, causes, and the situation at the time in Northeast Asia, and the actual impact of North Korea was analyzed. The most relevant analysis suggested that the cause of the Aung San event was the elimination by North Korea of the Chun Doo-hwan regime. The 1981-1985 period in the Northeast showed a large flow of reconciliation and peace. Therefore evaluation of the Aung San event as an inevitable event is not appropriate. After the Aung San event, it is difficult to find evidence that North Korean foreign relations and foreign trade, had any benefit from the military part of North Korea. The Aung San case as a case study suggests that existing understanding should be slightly modified to show that in the early 1980s, specifically to the dynamic situation in Northeast Asia, further understanding has been achieved.
