ABSTRACT

Since the creation of the DMZ, the highest level of military tension between the two Koreas was in the 1960s and 1970s due to North Korean provocations and the occurrence of inter-Korean military clashes. After the signing of the Korean War Armistice Agreement, North Korea's military provocations in the 1960s and 1970s are characterized by ①planning as part of the South Korean Revolution, ②continuing to strengthen system solidarity, ③deepening and expanding inter-Korean division pain. The implications of North Korea's strategy and armed provocation against South Korea can be summarized as ①thorough preparation for North Korea's disguised peace offensive, ②strengthening security capabilities to flexibly respond to any armed provocation, ③avoiding groundless unification groundism and optimism, ④promoting a gradual and step-by-step approach to North Korea's change. Our defense should always be able to prepare for the worst. We should do our best to strengthen our self-help and cooperative defense security capabilities to suppress North Korea's armed provocations at any time and cope stably in case of an emergency.
