Kim Jong Il

Kim Jong Un utilizes propaganda to reinforce his regime's control and cultivate a cult of personality around himself. The state media portrays him as a strong, benevolent leader, often showcasing his achievements in military and economic development while demonizing external enemies, particularly the United States and South Korea. This narrative is reinforced through public events, mass rallies, and educational propaganda that glorifies his leadership and the ruling Workers' Party. By controlling information and shaping public perception, Kim Jong Un aims to maintain loyalty and suppress dissent within North Korea.

Kim Jong-il attended several schools, but he is primarily known to have studied at the Kim Il-sung University in North Korea. He also reportedly spent time at a military academy in the Soviet Union, where he gained education in military strategy. His education played a significant role in shaping his leadership style and ideology.

The "il" in Kim Jong-il's name means "one" in Korean. It is a generational name, indicating that he is the first son of his father, Kim Il-sung, the founder of North Korea. In Korean tradition, the use of generational names helps to signify lineage and family connections.

Kim Jong Il's desire for conflict with South Korea was driven by a combination of ideological, political, and strategic factors. He aimed to solidify his regime's legitimacy and unify the Korean Peninsula under North Korean rule, viewing South Korea as a rival. Additionally, tensions served to rally domestic support and distract from internal economic challenges. Ultimately, military provocations were also a means to gain leverage in international negotiations and showcase military strength.

Kim Jong-il, the former leader of North Korea, is credited with authoring around 40 books. These works primarily focus on topics such as politics, military strategy, and his ideological contributions to the ruling philosophy of Juche. His writings are often characterized by their emphasis on his leadership and the importance of the Kim dynasty.

Estimating the exact number of people killed under Kim Jong-il's regime is challenging due to the secretive nature of North Korea. However, it is widely believed that millions may have died as a result of government policies, including widespread famine, purges, and brutal repression. Reports indicate that during his rule from 1994 to 2011, political purges alone may have led to the execution or imprisonment of many thousands. Ultimately, the exact number remains uncertain, but the human cost of his regime is considered significant.

In general... in a completely psychotic manner, however more technically as a military enforced dictatorship.

no... he forced the governmant to get him to become the leader. Hope he doesn't throw nukes around.

Cut North Korea off from the rest of the world. And other bad stuff

Fascism

If you read the article it says that Kim Jong Il came to power in 1997

A dictator is a ruler who has complete power in a country, especially power which was obtained by force and is used unfairly or cruelly. Kim Jong Il's rise to power had to appear spontaneous, as if it was a result of an uncontrollable popular movement. The only reason why he could become a new leader was, of course, the great and all-consuming love which 'the revolutionary masses ' felt for him It is not too difficult to understand the reasons behind Kim II Sung's decision to break away from the communist tradition and choose his son as his heir. Kim Il Sung had lived through the turbulent period of de-Stalinization. He saw how the posthumous reputation of the communist strongmen had been destroyed by their henchmen- the very same people who had once pledged loyalty to them. Once a leader was dead, he was accused of transgressions, mistakes and crimes. Thus his successor could briefly boast popular support for a new government. There was only one way to insure that his regime and fame would outlive Kim II Sung himself: to arrange a transfer of power within the ruling family. This was easier to accomplish in NK than elsewhere, since form the 1960s it had a much greater degree of nepotism than other communist countries. The promotion of Kim Jong Il triggered an unprecedented parallel campaign of glorification of his mother, a guerrilla fighter As Kim Jong Il solidified power as a dynastic successor, he gained hold of one of the most important posts in the country: general secretary of the ruling worker's party. It would give him near complete autonomy to run the country as he saw fit., In 1994, his father would be dead of a heart attack, leaving the younger Kim in full command. During the four years of official mourning for his father, Kim Jong Il continued to rule the country with a heavy hand. Displaying what are now frequently cited eccentricities, Kim reportedly refused to allow his father's other children to attend the funeral and spent an "astronomical sum" on a mausoleum for his father's body. Once Kim was firmly in power after his father's death, the country's march toward militarism continued. As his former teacher recounts, "Kim believed that although North Korea is a small state, through a 'military-first' policy, he could stabilize the nation; by growing the military, he could make North Korea a 'powerful and prosperous state.'" The nuclear crisis that ensued made North Korea an international pariah instead.

Kim Jong-il was 70 years old when he died on December 13, 2011.

(birthdate: February 16, 1941).

Hell.

No. Kim Jong-il has never taken the position of president of North Korea. Instead, he is referred to as the 'Supreme Leader' of North Korea. His father Kim Il-Sung is considered the 'eternal president of North Korea', officially receiving this title in 1994.

Kim Jong-il's death was announced around noon on December 19, 2011 (Korean time).

He actually died on December 17, and the autopsy that determined the cause was heart failure was done on December 18th.

He became a dictator, by doing what he wanted.. and got control over it. So there's you're answer. Sooo k, bye.

Kim Jong Un and his government felt that his uncle may have been trying to overthrow it. The North Korean nation is so very secretive that we may never know the exact reason.

Big mack daddy pimpster

He born into North Korean Kim Famiry!

Kim Jong Il is famous because he is the supreme leader of North Korea. Also because he is the son of Kim Il Sung(deceased), who was the previous supreme leader. (:

Kim-il-sung

He was seen to be 5'5" tall (165 cm) but he also appeared to wear platform shoes. Some analysts believe he was anywhere between 5'1" to 5'3", or possibly even shorter.

(*Kim Jong Il was supreme leader of North Korea from 1997 to his death in 2011. It was politically advantageous to appear taller, especially compared to other world leaders.)
