There's also the fact that like the Berlin Wall, families and a shared identity (arguable?) continue to exist between the people on either side. It makes me curious about the China/Taiwan situation.

In either of these cases actual outright conflict will result in divided families and distant relatives potentially killing each other. This "link" will shrink over time though as generations die off, in particular the former case NK/SK due to travel restrictions. I wonder if the likelihood for actual war will actually increase over time rather than decrease (/wild speculation)
