(KPL) On August 15, 1945, the Korean people put an end to the four-decade-long imperialist occupation of their country and liberated it.
Kim Il Sung, who embarked on the road of revolutionary struggle in his teens, founded the Korean People’s Revolutionary Army, the first revolutionary armed force of the Korean people, on April 25, 1932, and led the armed struggle, thus finally achieving the historic cause of national liberation.
In the Korean war (1950-1953), the Korean people, under the outstanding leadership of Kim Il Sung, inflicted an ignominious defeat on the imperialists, who boasted of being the “strongest” in the world, for the first time in history and achieved a miraculous victory.

They won one victory after another in the post-war period, too, frustrating the ceaseless moves of the imperialists to ignite a war, including the spy ship Pueblo incident in 1968 and the large spy plane EC-121 incident in 1969.
In the closing years of last century when the imperialists were hell-bent on blockade, sanctions and pressure to isolate and stifle their socialist country, they, under the leadership of Kim Jong Il, resolutely frustrated the hostile forces’ moves for aggression and war, and defended its sovereignty and dignity.
Today, they are staunchly carrying forward the tradition of victory under the wise leadership of Kim Jong Un who has put the self-reliant defence capabilities of the country on the highest level and steadily brought about uninterrupted leaps forward and changes on the road for the comprehensive development of socialism.
