What is Mandela Effect
The internet has played a powerful role in facilitating the spread of the Mandela Effect by sharing information, thus allowing misconceptions and false memories to gain traction. People may form social groups or communities based on their common falsehood, causing their imagination to seem more factual. One possible explanation for the Mandela Effect is that our memories are simply fallible, and we can be influenced by others or by the power of suggestion. This means that our memories may not be completely accurate and can be distorted over time, leading to a shared false memory.

The Communist dictatorship has seen how easily Iraq and Libya fell to the Western powers. So North Korea's missile launches and nuclear programme is about putting off attacks by the West.
