From 1910 to the end of WWII, Korea was a Japanese colony. When the Japanese surrendered in WWII in 1945, Korea was divided into North and South Korea. North Korea invaded the South in 1950, spurring the Korean War, which was fought until 1953, when an armistice was signed. Before the Korean War, the North Korean economy was comprised mainly of agriculture, though some heavy industry was found.

Approximately three million killed during the Korean War Between 600,000 to one million citizens starved to death

In July 1994, Kim Il Sung died of a sudden heart attack at the age of eighty-two, and his son and successor, Kim Jong-Il, announced a ten-day mourning period. Since his death, Yeong Saeng – eternal life – monuments have been put up throughout the country, each dedicated to Kim Il Sung (The Eternal Leader). Remembered in three ways: the grandfather, the Stalin-like ruler, and the man who defeated both Japan and the U.S. In homes across North Korea, his picture and posters are hung up A university in Pyongyang is named after him

Kim Jong-Il was Kim Il Sungs eldest son and successor and was named secretary of the Communist Party in 1997 and consolidated his power with the title of National Defense Commission chairman in He held a meeting with Kim Dae-Jung, South Koreas leader, in It was the first time the leaders of the North and South had met since the split of Korea in In 2010, tensions increased as South Korea accused the North of sinking one of its warships with a torpedo.
