Yes. Kim Il-Sung was an authoritarian dictator in life and remains one in death. He was also the first leader of North Korea. However, all of the Korean and Japanese emperors who ruled over the Korean peninsula before Kim Il-Sung ruled North Korean were authoritarian leaders.
Answer 1Both Koreas share a Buddhist and Confucianheritage and a recent history of Christian and Cheondoism ("religion of the Heavenly Way") movements.Although North Korea is officially atheist and according to the Western standards of religion - the majority of Korean population could be characterized as irreligious - the cultural influence of such traditional religions as Buddhism and Confucianism still have an effect on North Korean spiritual life.Answer 2Almost all North Koreans believe in the idea of Juche, also known "Kimilsungism" after Kim Ilsung.Juche should be incorporated in the answer about what are North Korea`s most common religions. Juche is the religious, political, social and economic ideology of North Korea. The Juche Idea was first introduce by Kim Ilsung in 1955 to distance North Korea from the Soviet Union, which at the time was undoing many of the Stalinist policies that Kim Ilsung liked.Over time, Juche evolved, borrowing from Marxism, Leninism, Stalinism, Maoism and Confucianism whatever Kim Ilsung and Kim Jongil wanted, as well as their own ideas, and in 1972 replaced Marxism-Leninism in the North Korean constitution as the country's official ideology.According to Juche, there is no god but Kim Ilsung, the country's "Eternal President", which makes North Korea the world's only country governed by an embalmed dead body. Juche has also attributed divine powers also to Kim Jongil.

The North was winning at first.
North Korean invading forces
i think the north invaded the south.
First the Japanese in 1592, then the North Koreans which triggered the Korean War.
Simple answer. USSR and Kim Ilsung (the first chairman of the people of North Korea) Korea was divided into North/South Korea after WWII. North under control of the USSR, and the South aided by the US. The USSR wasn't happy having the US having a foothold in far east Asia. Remember, China just turned communist, and Japan was an enemy of the US, and USSR occupies the cold areas is northeast Asia. Kim Ilsung saw this as an opportunity to become REALLY powerful. He got the USSR to aid him in a plan to take over the south and re-unite Korea. He also was successful in convincing the USSR that he was going to be stooge for them. The USSR was so convinced they gave him whatever he asked for. The Korean War was Kim Ilsung's attempt to Unify the two Koreas, the way the gods had meant it to be. South Korea was supposed to be a pushover anyways. The south had flatter land and was somewhat warmer so it was populated by farmers and their lands. The north had the factories, minerals, and coal. Somehow, the US, UN and south Koreans stopped the invasion. When McArthur rushed north, the Chinese who bordered north Korea, got rather upset, and after massacre after massacre, we ended up with pretty much the original dividing line between North and South Korea.
Julius Caesar became the first Roman dictator who was appointed for life (dictator perpetuus, dictator in perpetuity).
North Korea invaded South Korea. Exactly, the Korean war started by North Korean army's attack to the 38th parallel (a line of latitude used to divide the Korean Peninsula) at about 4AM on June 25, 1950. However, North Korean propaganda claims that South Korea attacked first. (No country outside of North Korea agrees with this view.)
Lenin was the first dictator of the Soviet Union.
The Korean Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) was first demarcated on July 27, 1953. This was after the signing of the Korean Armistice Agreement, which ended the Korean War. The DMZ was established to serve as a buffer zone between North Korea and South Korea.
assassinatedFlavus was the first designated dictator. Dictator was a temporary office created in times of national emergency, when the country was under martial law. Cincinnatus famously was summoned from his plowing and, once the crisis was over, resigned the dictatorship, and returned to his plow. There are over forty dictators listed in Roman archives. However, Julius Caesar is the only one created Dictator in Perpetuus. Following Caesar's assassination, his heir, Octavius, became the Emperor of Rome, known as Caesar Augustus, although his official title was Princeps.
