ANTI-JAPANESE FIGHTING
ANTI-JAPANESE FIGHTING -THE UNION TO DEFEAT THE IMPERIALISM
The Great Leader President KIM IL SUNG was born on the 15th of April of 1912 in Mangyongdae, city of Pyongyang. Son of a poor peasant family, his ancestors were great patriots and anti-Japanese revolutionary fighters.
Kim Jiong Jik, his father, was a director in the Anti-Japanese Movement for the Korean National Liberation and also played an important role in the turn from the Nationalist Movement to the Communist one.
The Great Leader President Kim II Sung, who since the first years of life demonstrated an excellent intelligence, steel courage and open behaviour, was grown developing the noble patriotic and revolutionary qualities.
In June of 1926 he studied in the Juasong School, Huadian District in Northeast China. This school gave a nationalist knowledge because it was established by the nationalists with the purpose of creating troops for the Independence.
He was not satisfied at all with the contents of the nationalist teachings and sectary fighting. Also he was very disappointed with the pseudo Marxists and revisionists.
From the beginning he adopted a critical view about the nationalism and the initial communist movement, studying the revolution theory of the Marxism-Leninism in a deep and independent way. He realized that to get the liberation of Korea was necessary not to take the path of the nationalism, but the Communist Movement way.
The 17th of October of 1926 he founded the Union to Defeat the Imperialism, that was the first revolutionary Communist organization in Korea. About the immediate task and the final object of this Union, the Great Leader said:
'The immediate task of the Union to Defeat the Imperialism is to annihilate the Japanese imperialism and to get the liberation and Independence of Korea, and the final objective is to construct the socialism and the communism in Korea, and at the end, to build the communism in all the world defeating the imperialism'
Since this moment, the Communist Movement and the revolutionary fighting of the Korean people were developed under the principle of the Chajusong (Self-reliance) and started the Korean revolution.
While the Great Leader grouped all the young fighters inside the Union and to extend the revolutionary influence, he translated the scenery to Jilin (Northeast China) that was an important focus of the communism and nationalist Korean movements.
In January of 1927, he joined the Medium School Yuwen in Jilin and he was totally devoted to the revolutionary activities
CREATION OF THE JUCHE IDEA
The creation of a directive idea for the Korean revolution was an urgent historical and hard task for the destiny and future of the country. And it was perfectly developed thanks to the Great Leader Kim II Sung that conceived the great Juche Idea.
During his revolutionary life, he understood the intelligence and tireless power of the peoples masses, and he was confident that the revolution would be possible with the own power of the nation.
One of the defects from the pseudo Marxists and nationalists was that they never thought about the role of the masses in the revolutionary movement, but they only spent the time in useless internal discussions creating and 'elite' separated from the masses. Another defect was that they always wanted to serve the big powers and had a serving attitude to other countries.
Seeing the internal divisions in the pseudo Marxists and nationalists, the Great Leader had the firm conviction that the Korean Revolution must penetrate into the peoples masses and fight independently using their power, and never serving to other powerful country
In june of 1930, in Kalun, the Great Leader explained the invincible Juche Idea in front of
the leaders of the Communist Youth Union and the Anti-imperialist Youth Union.The Great Leader explained the Juche Idea in this way.
'The Juche Idea means, in few words, the idea that the peoples masses are the owners of the revolution and construction, and that the power for the revolution and construction also comes from the peoples masses. It means that the owner of the destiny is one himself, and the power to change the destiny is inside one himself'
THE PATH OF THE KOREAN REVOLUTION
The Great Leader President KIM IL SUNG leaded victoriously the path of the Korean revolution resolving all the difficulties and probes.
In October of 1929, the Great Leader was arrested by the police and jailed inside the Prison of Jilin, but even in the difficult situations he was always developing the project for the Korean Revolution and leading the revolutionary organizations. He was liberated in May of 1930 and he immediately rebuilt the organizations that were destroyed and restarted again all the activities.
The 30th of June of 1930, in the Conference of the Young Communist Union and the Young Anti-imperialist Union celebrated in Kalun, he defined a clear strategy and tactics for the Juche revolution.
He described the first task of the Korean revolution in this way.
'The main task of the Korean Revolution is to achieve the independence of Korea defeating the Japanese imperialism and establishing the democracy after the feudal relations will be annihilated.
Following this main task, the character of our revolution in the actual situation means an anti-imperialist and anti-feudalist democratic revolution'
He explained that in this revolution can participate all the anti-imperialist people:
peasants, workers, young students, intellectuals, little-owners, believers and religious with honest consciousness.
He continued saying that after achieving this goal, was necessary to build a socialist and communist society with the perspectives of a global revolution.
In this way, the Korean Revolution marched along the path of victory guided by the direction, strategy and scientific tactics of the Great Leader
FOUNDING OF THE REVOLUTIONARY ARMED FORCES
Seeing the necessity of building an army to combat the Japanese soldiers, the Great Leader founded in Guyushu, in July of 1930, the Korean Revolutionary Army composed by the members of the Communist Youth Union and the Anti-imperialist Youth Union.
In September of 1931, the Japanese forces launched and aggression to Manchuria (North-East China) and they started to kill all the Korean citizens.
In this moment, the Great Leader organized the Mingyuegou Conference where he exposed how to resolve the Anti-Japanese Armed Struggle that was based in the guerrilla warfare. Also he accelerated the creation of the armed groups shouting the combative slogan:'Weapons to defeat the weapons!', and they started the armed revolution thanks to two guns that the Great Leader inherited from his father and the other weapons that they stole from the Japanese soldiers.
The 25th of April of 1932 was proclaimed the foundation of the Revolutionary Korean
Peoples Army, the first Juche Army in Korea.
The Great Leader President Kim II Sung said:
'The Revolutionary Korean People's Army is formed by workers, peasants
and young patriots that love their land and country and that they're opposite to the Japanese imperialism and its servants. It's an authentic revolutionary army that defends the interests of the people.
The target and goal of the Revolutionary People's Army is to destroy the
colonial domination of the Japanese Imperialism in Korea, and to conquer the national independence and the social liberation of the Korean people.'
The organization of the Revolutionary Peoples Army and the starting of the armed fighting against the Nippon imperialism had a big repercussion in the world 'Akahata', organ of the Communist Party of Japan, the 10th of August of 1932 said that because the Korean fighting had important victories against the Imperialism, this situation encouraged them for the revolutionary combat in Japan and also it helped to prevent the war that the imperialism was preparing against the Soviet Union.
At the same time that the Army was growing, the Great Leader established the Revolutionary People's Government, the power of the people, he wisely oriented it to warrant the democratic rights and freedom of the members, also to declare the labour day of a working hours, the equality of all the rights between men and women, etc.
This marvellous reality that came only from the dreams of the people that once worked like slaves for the Japanese, represented for the Korean people a great hope for the future and a source where they took the power to fight against the enemies.
THE ASSOCIATION FOR THE RESTORATION OF THE MOTHERLAND
-THE 10 POINTS PROGRAM-
After the Nonhutou conference celebrated in February of 1936, the Great Leader moved to the border region to create a revolutionary base in the Paektu mountain. While this preparations were going on, in the Donggang conference, the 5 th of May of 1936, he proclaimed the foundation of the Association for the Restoration of the Motherland together with the 10 Points Program written by himself.
The 10 Points Program of the Association reflected all the basis tasks to achieve in the revolution: To establish a people's government destroying the colonial Japanese influence, to start the agrarian reform, to warrant all the rights and freedom for all the classes and social groups of people, to improve the labour conditions and the life of the workers, to elevate the cultural level of all the people, to develop the industry, etc.
Under the perfect guidance of the Great Leader, the Association got hundreds of thousands of members after few months of the foundation. The people came from all the branches of the society: traders, nationalists, religious, peasants, students, workers... All of them united to recover the sovereignty of the country.
REVOLUTIONARY BASE ON THE MOUNT PAEKTU
The Great Leader leading the Revolutionary Korean People's Army (RKPA), marched to the riverside of the Amrok river to create a new guerrilla base near the Bektu mountain.
From the middle of June until the end of October of 1936 he organized and directed the battles against the Fusong district (political/military centre of the enemy) taking the initiative in the liberation.
As a result of this campaign, in autumn of 1936 he created the base camps in the jungle zones of the Paektu: The front line at the base of the mount and the rearguard in the deep inland zone.
The Secret Camp on Mount Paektu became the commanding base of the Korean revolution, around there dozens of facilities were built: the residences of the soldiers, the weaponry workshop, the print house, the hospital, the sewing workshop, etc.
After the creation of this revolutionary base, the armed struggle was hardened and extended in a short time.
The Japanese imperialists alarmed because the advance of the Revolutionary People's Army, in October of 1936 started the Tumen Conversations' with Minami that was the General Governor of Korea, Commander of the Kuantung division and ambassador in Manchukuo.
In January of next year, an special envoy from the Japanese Emperor inspected the zone and ordered a 'punitive operation' against the Korean forces.
Until March of 1937 the Japanese sent a great number of troops, but the RKPA defeated them in the battles like the one in Heixiachigou, Erdaogang, Hongtoushan, Taochuanli, Limingshui, etc.
At the same time, the RKPA also improved the literature and artistic activities publishing in December of 1936 the 'Samil Wagan', monthly magazine that was the official voice of the Association for the Restoration of the Motherland.
In May of 1937 started the 'Soguang' (Dawn) that was the internal organ of the RKPA. In December of the same year, the weekly 'Chongsod' (Peal) appeared.
In this days was when the immortal dramas 'Sea of blood' and 'The Destiny of a Self-Defence Corps member' were written by the hand of the Great Leader Kim Il Sung
THE TORCH OF BOCHOMBO
In march of 1937, the Great Leader pronounced the historical conference of Xigang, where he exposed the operational attack to the inner Korea establishing three front points: the main front was in the Jesan zone (an important strategic point for the Japanese), other unit went round the Mount paektu to the border zone near the Duman river, and the third unit went to the Linchiang and Changbai zone near the Amrok river.
The Korean border that once was called the 'Japanese indestructible steel fortress', was easily penetrated in a short time by the Revolutionary Korean People's Army.
The 4th of June of 1937 at 22:00 hours, the soldiers under the orders of the Great Leader irrupted in the streets of Bochombo annihilating all the enemies and destroying the direction organs of the Japanese Imperialism.
All the people in Bochombo was happy and in a joyous mood, shouting: The General Kim II Sung is here!" Our army arrived!'
The Great Leader made an historical speech in front of the people asking them to fight with all the power for the restoration of the motherland.
The victory in the battle of Bochombo was the demonstration that the Korean people was alive and willing to fight to recover their independence.
THE ARDUOUS MARCH AND THE BATTLE IN MUSAN ZONE
In 1938 the Japanese Imperialism decided to send hundreds of thousands soldiers to stop the advance of the RKPA.
In front of this new situation, in November of 1938 in the conference of Nanpaichi, the Great Leader exposed the necessity of returning to the border zone to increase the number of soldiers and exhort the people to fight against the Japanese.
This expedition from Nanpaichi to the border was called 'The Arduous March' because it took more than 100 days to complete and was really hard because the RKPA had to fight everyday against thousands of Japanese troops in the middle of the cold strong winds and the snow that was more than 2 meters high.
Thanks to the direction and wise tactics of the Great Leader, they arrived to the border zone advancing to Musan in May of 1939.
After the victory in the battle of Musan, the troops of the RKPA moved to the north-east of the Mount Paektu.
THE MORNING OF THE RESTORATION
At the end of 1930, the World War II started. The Japanese imperialists accelerated the invasion of China to assure the control of Korea. In this situation, the Great Leader made a new strategic orientation in the Xiaohaerboling Conference (August 1940) dividing the big units of the RKPA into small ones.
The proposal of this action was to mine all the colonized Korea making a vigorous work of political propaganda between the peoples masses to give the final strike to the Japanese empire.
All Korea was ready for the revolution. The 9th of August of 1945, the Great Leader Kim Il Sung gave orders to the Revolutionary Korean People's Army to combat for the final liberation of the motherland.
Working together with the Soviet Army (that was participating in the war against Japan), the RKPA and the Korean people destroyed all the directive bases of the Japanese empire.
The 15th of August of 1945, Korea was liberated and the victory made possible the dream of the independent motherland.
THE JUCHE KOREA
The Great Leader President Kim II Sung, sun of the nation, returned triumphal to the motherland, where all the people received him with love and hoorays.
One of the main needs after the liberation was the foundation of the Communist Party of Korea. But this task was very difficult due to the opportunists, revisionists, regionalists plus the cruel military administration of the U.S. in South Korea.
The 10th of October was founded the 'Communist Party of North Korea' in the city of Pyongyang. The Party had the Juche Idea as the main guide and political direction.
In August of 1946, the 'Communist Party of North Korea' was converted into the 'Worker's Party of North Korea' because the fusion with another party, and since the Great Leader said that the Party must group all the workers under the same flag.
In June of 1949, the 'Worker's Party of North Korea' was transformed into the 'Worker's Party of Korea' after the union with the 'Worker's Party of South Korea'.
The Worker's party of Korea (WPK) made possible the construction of a new motherland uniting the efforts of all the people.
THE FOUNDATION OF THE D.P.R. OF KOREA
In February of the 1947, on the base of the victories of the first democratic elections in the northern part, was established the People's Committee of North Korea, first power of the proletariat dictatorship.
All the Korean people without exception, elected the Great Leader KIM IL SUNG as the President.
The Korean people proposed a reasonable plan to retire at the same time all the U.S. and Soviet troops in order to let the Korean people resolve their own future in base of the democratic elections, but the imperialist U.S. rejected the proposal with the object of the domination of the southern part of Korea.
The U.S. used his power in the U.N. for his plans, and created the 'U.N. Commission for Korea' that inspected the 'elections' in South Korea, where they used their control in the administrations to create a phantom government. In this way the aggression of the north American imperialism started a new phase with a big risk of national division.
In front of this serious situation, the Great Leader President KIM IL SUNG made a meeting in June of 1948 to consult all the Leaders of social organizations and political parties both in North and South of Korea. He explained that was urgent to declare the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, as a way to save the independence of the country and prevent the risk of division.
The Great Leader President KIM IL SUNG said:
'We must create without delay a supreme legislative organism for all Korea that will represent the desires of the Korean people, we must declare the Constitution of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea. In this way, we don't have to build a separate government, but only one government of Korea with the representation of all the political parties and social organizations both of the North and South'
Following this orientation, the 25th of August of 1948 in all the regions of the North and South of Korea, they had elections for the representatives in the Supreme People's Assembly in the middle of the emotion and enthusiasm of all the nation.
In the northern part participated in the elections 99,97% of all the people, while in the south participated 77-52% of the citizens even under the big pressure of the reactionaries.
The result were the 572 representatives of all the classes and social groups of the North and South of Korea.
In September of 1948, the first session of the Supreme People's Assembly was held in Pyongyang. In this session the Great Leader Comrade Kim II Sung was elected President of the Ministry Counsel and Chief of the State of the Democratic Peoples Republic of Korea. The 9th of September he proclaimed in front of the world the foundation of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, glorious motherland of all the Korean people.
The success of the national economic plans from 1948 to 1950 allowed all Korea to start the base of a big national independent economy.
But although the peaceful Korean people democratically elected to choose the socialist transition to the independence, the aggressive U.S.A. wanted to invade and colonize Korea.
