Sample Book Insights: #1 North Korea’s history explains how the country has been able to remain such a durable regime. #2 The Korean Peninsula’s history starts in the Paleolithic era, with the legendary Gojoseon kingdom established in 2333 BCE. In 1905, Korea became a protectorate of Japan, and in 1910, the Japan-Korea Treaty marked the annexation of the Korean empire and the beginning of the brutal colonization of the Korean people. #3 Kim Il-Sung, the leader of North Korea, transformed the country into a socialist nation in the 1960s and 1970s. The country was able to outperform its southern counterpart during this period, and so was able to inspire citizens’ loyalty to Kim Il-Sung. #4 The three main principles of the North Korean ideology are political and ideological independence from other nations, military independence and sufficient national defense, and economic self-sufficiency.
