Therefore, Communism was established in north and capitalism in south. However, Kim Il-sung the leader of North Korea wanted to unify Korea and he was hoping to get a support from the USSR. Josef Stalin rejected his offer, but when China became communist he changed his mind. Communism started to expand in Asia and Stalin thought that…

While considering the development of the North and South Korea after Korea got its liberation from Japan, the main cause that made the difference between the North and South is the division of the country by Soviet Union and USA. Post-liberation period was rather chaotic period to begin with since “this prodigious mass of humanity – everyone from elite exiled political leaders to common laborers and former peasants – returned to a land reeling from the effects of forty years of Japanese Rule”…

The North was led by leaders, Josef Stalin leading the Soviet Union, Mao Zedong lead China and the founder of PRC, and Kim Il-sung the supreme leader of (DPRK) Democratic People's Republic of Korea. They all wanted a communist Korea, where there was a single party that controlled everyone lives, just like the way they ruled their own…

Kim Jong-un: A Twenty-First Century Machiavelli Niccolò Machiavelli believed that in order to be an effective ruler one needed to use whatever methods were necessary to achieve success. In the book he published in the 1500s entitled, The Prince, Machiavelli advised rulers on how to act in order to gain power, keeping in mind that “the end justifies the means”.

Brother every single day. Winston ends up being brainwashed and a perfect citizen of Oceania. In the book 1984, it shows the life style of being controlled by the government. Kim Jong Un and Big Brother are extremely alike. They are both terrible leaders who do terrible things to their citizens. “After the Korean War, Kim II Sung used his political powers to create a totalitarian society, forcing citizens to treat their leaders as the most important figure in human society (Freakatuski). They…

In the North, with Soviet assistance, Kim Il Sung began organizing an authoritarian Communist regime.
