Long story short a load of politics happened in the past that lead to the Korean war which from what I've read was a more communist focused group in conflict with a more capitalist focused group and obviously the west intervened as at the time the whole communist vs capitalist craze in politics was in full swing.
The war ended with the country remaining to be split into two separate countries with the North being more of a military state, unfortunately their leaders are some what crazed but their threats are partly the result of politics in recent decades. They've viewed the US as eternal enemies because of the intervention and have seen intervention happen in other countries the west has had issues with (Iraq, Syria, Libya etc...) and are now arming themselves to the teeth in preparation for what they see as a forgone conclusion.
I don't think North Korea could win a war against the US but at the same time I think they could actually inflict some notable damage if they really do have weapons that can hit US soil as one of the major tactical advantages of the US in a war has always been where the country is situated so no country outside of Japan in WWII has really been able to strike at them directly. This is why the weapon tests North Korea is doing is of some concern for US officials.
