Just as class field theory for unramified Abelian extensions can be explained in terms of the divisor class group and its subgroups, so can arbitrary Abelian extensions be characterized by means of ray class groups with respect to suitable modules (see Algebraic number theory).

 Open Questions: Algebraic Number Theory
Galois theory is a way to "map" extensions of fields to groups and their subgroups in such a way that most of the interesting details about the extension are reflected in details about the groups, and vice versa.
Class field theory, which we are almost ready to discuss, deals directly with all these issues, and provides answers to many of the questions which arise.
Class field theory has a reputation for being a very difficult subject, and it is. There is a fair bit of abstract conceptual machinery involved even to explain many of the results, and (of course) much more to prove the results.

 Class Field Theory
The class field theory of local fields classifies abelian extensions of local field in a way similar to the way global class field theory deals with extensions of number fields and global function fields.
Since the multiplicative group of a local field is far better understood than the ideal group of a global field, the theory is much more explicit and easier in the local case.

Class Field Theory and the Kronecker Weber Theorem

That's "simple" if you know class field theory: the class field H of the quadratic field k has Galois group isomorphic to Z/N, and the base extension k/Q is cyclic and acts on Z/N via the Artin isomorphism.
What this means is that the nontrivial isomorphism S of k/Q acts on a generator of Z/N in the same way as it acts on the class c generating the class group.
But c^S = c^{-1}, since c^{S+1} = 1 (the norm of an ideal is principal since the base field Q has class number 1), and voila: the complete extension H/Q has the dihedral group.
