Everything That Happened In North Korea While You Were Sleeping. North Korea successfully tested a hydrogen bomb on Sunday, according to officials in the country. If confirmed, it would be the most powerful nuclear explosion ever achieved by the isolated country. And South Korean media now report that the US and South Korea have agreed to jointly pursue some kind of military response. What that will look like, and whether it will involve any strikes on North Korean targets, is still unclear. Things are moving quickly on the Korean peninsula, and theres a lot we dont know, including the details about what this reported US South Korea military response will involve. But below we have a round up of what we do knoweverything that happened on the other side of the world while America slept. North Korea tests H Bomb. The explosion of North Koreas hydrogen bomb was first picked up as an earthquake at exactly noon, local time. Measuring 6. 3 on the richter scale by the US Geological Survey, such an explosion is at least 5 times stronger than any previous detonation performed by the country and roughly 8 times stronger than the bomb that destroyed Hiroshima during World War II. TV broadcasts in the country declared the nuclear test a perfect success of a hydrogen bomb for intercontinental ballistic rocket. Other state media claimed that dictator Kim Jong un had personally overseen the test and described the bomb as a multi functional thermonuclear nuke with great destructive power which can be detonated even at high altitudes for super powerful EMP attack according to strategic goals. North Korea has tested five nuclear devices before todays, with the last nuclear test by the Kim regime in September of 2. But this new test was the first of the Trump presidency, which has warned of fire and fury publicly, while privately acknowledging that there are no good military options on the Korean peninsula. Before departing the White House, top Trump advisor Steve Bannon gave an interview where he said that until somebody solves the part of the equation that shows me that ten million people in Seoul dont die in the first 3. US. North Korea claims that the hydrogen bomb it tested is small enough to be fitted on an intercontinental ballistic missile ICBM. The country tested its first ICBM on July 4, 2. ICBM to the US mainland. Yet, anyway. North Korea still hasnt proved itself to be able to figure out reentry of an ICBM, meaning that any launch from considerable distance would cause the missile to burn up in the atmosphere. Experts consider it only a matter of time before North Korea cracks that problem, however, and a more powerful bomb means that it doesnt need to be as precise if it wants to destroy an entire city. KCNA Watch and ReutersUS and South Korean defense chiefs consider military options. South Korean news agency Yonhap reported early this morning that the US and South Korea have agreed to take military measures against North Korea for its latest nuclear test. The form of military action isnt stated, nor is it clear whether these military measures would include anything beyond a strategic show of force, similar to what the two countries have displayed in the past with simulated bombing raids and missile launches. The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Joseph Dunford, talked with his South Korean counterpart General Jeong Kyeong doo over the phone early this morning about effective military responses to North Koreas latest nuclear test. Yonhap stated that the two countries would take combined military measures against North Korea as early as possible, but, again, didnt elaborate on what that would look like. North Korea has conducted a more powerful nuclear test today than in the past while ignoring repeated warnings from us and the international community, South Koreas National Security Office chief Chung Eui yong said in a statement. The President ordered to draw up the strongest punitive measures in tandem with the international community against a series of provocations by North Korea including ICBM class missile launch and nuclear test, the statement continued. Trump regime national security adviser H. R. Mc. Master also spoke over the phone with his South Korean counterpart Chung Eui yong for roughly 2. North Koreas nuclear test, according to the Associated Press. The substance of that call has not been released. Yonhap and NK NewsPresident Trump and Shinzo Abe talk over the phone President Donald Trump reportedly spoke with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe for about 2. Previously, Trump had spoken with Abe just yesterday about the threats posed by North Korea. North Koreas last military test was a missile that was shot over the northern part of Japan and landed in the Pacific Ocean. Japanese citizens spent almost 1. A smartphone alert system combined with speaker announcements warn Japanese residents when a possible missile strike from North Korea is on its way. Japan said today that the countrys leader wishes to calmly analyze a range of information he is receiving, discuss necessary action with other countries, and take all possible measures to protect peoples lives and assets. The White House has not yet issued a statement about the call between PM Abe and President Trump. BBC and ReutersSouth Koreans go about their lives, if a bit more fearful. Life continued on like normal in South Korea, as people there are pretty accustomed to the bluster of North Korea. But theyre less used to the inflammatory rhetoric that now comes from the US. And if war does come, some South Koreans are looking to countries with less fascist leaders than Trump to escape the inevitable carnage. One South Korean elementary school teacher told the Korea Times that if war does break out shell leave Korea and head for Canada or something. To be honest I dont put too much thought into this because its always been this way. War does not come easily, the school teacher said. And we shouldnt be worried. Fear is what leads to war. Other South Koreans said that its much of the same old bluster, but seemed to express concern that President Trump seemed unhinged and unpredictable. This is nothing new. Just another provocation by the North as I see it and its been worse before but still did not lead to war. I dont think any South Korean male who has been in the military is scared, the 2. Yoon Tae jun told the Korea Times. But then again Im not sure this time because of Trump. Korea TimesChina strongly condemns North Korean nuclear test. China has made it clear that its not happy about North Koreas recent missile tests. And now the country has strongly condemned North Koreas latest nuclear test. Chinas foreign ministry denounced North Koreas latest test, expressing resolute opposition and strong condemnation of the test and saying that North Korea has ignored the international communitys widespread opposition. We strongly urge the DPRK North Korea to face the strong will of denuclearization from the international community, earnestly abide by the relevant resolutions of the UN Security Council, stop taking mistaken actions which worsen the situation and are also not in line with its own interests, and effectively return to the track of solving the problem through dialogue, Chinas foreign ministry said in a statement early this morning.

Historical analysis of the period ranges from disrepute to heroism, with debates over whether the lack of any functioning justice system and the understanding of due process at the time meant the vigilantes acted in a way they thought was best for their communities or if modern standards of due process should govern analysis of their actions.

Almost all economic transactions in western mining communities were accomplished with gold nuggets, flakes or dust as currency and not surprisingly, the more gold one had, the more wealth one possessed. During the early years of the territory, there was no secure way to transport wealth out of the region. The only means of transporting wealth out of the Alder Gulch gold fields was via horseback or slow moving wagons and stagecoaches on a limited number of trails and primitive roads leading south and west to Salt Lake City and San Francisco or east to Minnesota. Roads and trails leading to Alder Gulch included the Bozeman and Bridger Trails connecting to the Oregon Trail from the east, the Mullan Road from points west and from Fort Benton, Montana the head of navigation on the Missouri River and the Corinne Road from Corinne, Utah and points south. Additionally, there was a single track, 7. Alder Gulch with Bannack. Several commercial freight and two passenger stage companiesPeabody and Caldwells and A. J. Oliversoperated on this route.

Norton of Henry Plummers gang holding up and robbing a stagecoach8In a region where valuable gold was plentiful, transportation was insecure and effective law and order was lacking, travelers became easy prey for robbers.

Langford estimated that at least 1. Many more travelers left the region and were never heard from again.
