Kim Il Sung: The Still Birth of North Korea | Ancient to Recent | Episode 15

In the early days of the 20th century, Korea was under the grip of Japanese imperial rule, a period that reshaped the peninsula forever. Out of this turmoil emerged Kim Il Sung, a partisan fighter who would go on to become the founding leader of North Korea.


In this episode of Ancient To Recent, Joseph Parkinson takes you through Kim’s early life, the struggles of Korean nationalism, the Japanese occupation, and the Soviet-backed rise of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea. Discover how colonial rule, war, and ideology combined to shape one of the most secretive and repressive regimes in history.
