North Korea chose to adopt a communist Dictatorship primarily due to the influence of Soviet ideology following World War II, when the Korean Peninsula was divided into North and South along the 38th parallel. Kim Il-sung, the country's first leader, embraced Marxist-Leninist principles to consolidate power and promote a vision of self-reliance (Juche). The regime sought to eliminate perceived threats from both internal and external sources, using authoritarian rule to maintain control and suppress dissent. This system allowed the leadership to centralize authority and rally nationalistic sentiments against perceived enemies, particularly the United States and South Korea.

After World War II, Korea was divided along the 38th parallel into two zones of occupation: the Soviet Union controlled the north, while the United States managed the south. In 1948, this division led to the establishment of two separate governments: the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (North Korea) in the north and the Republic of Korea (South Korea) in the south. Tensions escalated, culminating in the Korean War from 1950 to 1953, which solidified the divide and resulted in a heavily militarized border between the two nations. North Korea, under Kim Il-sung, became a communist state with a centralized economy and a focus on military strength.
