On September 9, 1948, the formation of the DPRK, the first socialist state in the region, was proclaimed in northeast Asia on the Korean peninsula. The Korean people marched on this difficult 50 years of bloody struggle with the Japanese enslavers, who, in fact, established a slave-owning regime against the indigenous nation of the peninsula, prohibiting the use of the Korean language, knocking out the original Korean culture from the soul of the people, forcibly sending young Korean women to Japanese soldiers' brothels . And this gangster Japanese lawlessness seemed to have no end. But in Korea on April 15, 1912, Kim Il Sung was born - a charismatic leader who, from an early youth, set himself the task of freeing the country from oppressors. October 17, 1926 in the city of Jilin (China), he proclaimed the creation of an organization of young people - the Union for the Overthrow of Imperialism. On August 28, 1927, Kim Il Sung created the Korean Communist Youth League. Thus, organizations were gradually formed, whose cadres later became the backbone of the Workers' Party of Korea and played a decisive role in the victory of the Korean revolution and the formation of the DPRK.
On September 18, 1931, the Japanese launched an offensive on Manchuria. The Chinese army randomly retreated. There at that time was Kim Il Sung, who led the armed guerrilla warfare against the Japanese enslavers. By this time he had already created the organizational conditions for guerrilla warfare. Small partisan detachments produced weapons in battles with the Japanese, and produced something on their own. On April 25, 1932, Kim Il Sung created the Anti-Japanese People’s Partisan Army (ANPA), which initially numbered no more than one hundred young people. Kim Il Sung is actively working on creating guerrilla bases in the Tuman River Basin, bordering between China and Korea. The base bases eventually turned into zones freed from the Japanese, completely controlled by the partisan army of Kim Il Sung. Subsequently, on May 31, 1934, the ANPA was transformed into the Korean People's Revolutionary Army (PRRA).
In May 1936, at the initiative of Kim Il Sung, the constituent congress of the Renaissance League of the Motherland was held with the adoption of a 10-point program reflecting the objectives of the Korean Revolution, the creation of the people's government of Korea and the socialist transformation of society (nationalization of industry, land reform, compulsory free education, etc. .).
On June 4, 1937, a PRA unit led by Kim Il Sung entered Korean territory. Preparations are beginning for a popular anti-Japanese uprising. A powerful partisan base is being created in the area of Mount Paektu - a reliable mass base of the revolution. Mount Paektu becomes a symbol of Korea as the country's parent mountain. Fierce fighting at the end of 1938 with regular units of the Japanese Kwantung Army and puppet troops of Manzhou-Guo created very difficult conditions for the Koreans and the need to get out of the encirclement in December 1938 in an unprecedented frost without food and rest of the forced march led by Kim Il Sung . The march lasted 100 days and entered the history of Korea under the name "Difficult Campaign."
In May-August 1939, when the Soviet-Mongolian troops were engaged in difficult battles with the Japanese in the Khalkhin-Gol River region, the PRC troops conducted military operations to disorganize the Japanese rear and disrupted the transport of personnel of the forces and military equipment of the Kwantung Army.
At the beginning of 1940, a meeting convened by the Comintern was held in Khabarovsk. At it, Kim Il Sung spoke out for the immediate formation of a joint anti-fascist front of the communists of three countries - Korea, China and the USSR. In July 1945, Kim Il Sung took part in a meeting in Moscow, which discussed issues of a military operation against Japan, carried out in accordance with an international treaty. Here Kim Il Sung met with Zhdanov, Zhukov and other leaders of the CPSU (b) and the Armed Forces of the USSR.
On August 9, 1945, simultaneously with the declaration of the USSR war of Japan, Kim Il Sung gave the order for a general offensive to all CPA units.
On August 15, 1945, Japan surrendered. August 15 is celebrated in the DPRK as the Day of the Revival of the Motherland. August 15, 1945 was the starting point for the creation of the first socialist state in the north-eastern region of Asia. indicating the countries of the Third World the practical path of struggle for their independence, for the legal right of each people to independently choose their own historical path of development.
But from the very beginning, the United States put up strong resistance to the peaceful state-building process of Korea. The Americans landed in the south of the Korean Peninsula on September 8, 1945, under a false pretext, allegedly. the need to disarm the army of defeated Japan, which actually was not, since the Kwantung Army was already defeated and disarmed a month ago by the armies of the USSR, Kim Il Sung and Chinese volunteers and surrendered. Americans set the demarcationline along the 38th parallel, thus it was the Americans who divided Korea into 2 parts and occupied the south of the Korean Peninsula. Before that, Korea was a single state.
The Americans hastily created the puppet regime of Lee Sung Man in the south of Korea, which was engaged in the destruction of the Communists. In the period from 1945 to 1949, more than 150 thousand communists who fought 50 years for the revival of their homeland were killed by mass repressions in southern Korea. All material assets of the territory occupied by the Americans were declared US property and 80% of them were transported overseas.
In the period after August 15, 1945, Kim Il Sung did everything possible to form a unified provisional government in Korea. It did not work out because of the fierce resistance and sabotage of the Americans and the puppet regime of Lee Sung Man.
On September 9, 1948, the Great Leader, Comrade Kim Il Sung, proclaimed the formation of the DPRK.
We have given the story of the Korean people's heroic struggle to create their own independent state in order to show how much the Korean nation paid for today's opportunity to live and work freely in the DPRK, how many lives of the best of their best sons and daughters were given in the name of today's socialist Korea. This should always be the basis for HOW vigilantly preserve and preserve the socialist state of workers, peasants and labor intelligentsia created in battles. DO NOT succumb to the always false WORDS and PROMISES of US President D. Trump about his alleged desire to live in peace and friendship with the DPRK, as was the case, for example, at the meeting of Comrade Kim Jong-un with D. Trump in the Pan-Jungjong in the demilitarized zone 30 June this year.
In our cruel age of violence and international gangsterism, the United States can only defend its independence by the STRENGTH of a state with nuclear weapons and other developed NEW means of defense and defense of its Fatherland, the creation of which was recently announced in the Korean press ...
On the occasion of the glorious anniversary of the creation of the DPRK, we wish this beautiful country with its hardworking heroic people, led by its leader comrade Kim Jong-un, new victories on the peaceful front of the creation, development and defense of our Fatherland.
Central Committee of the AUCPB
