Anti-imperialist, Anti-U.S. Struggle Prompted by Korean War

Pyongyang July 14 (KCNA) -- The Korean War in the 1950s marked an important occasion in opening up the era of new upswing in the anti-imperialist, anti-U.S. struggle throughout the world.
The World Federation of Trade Unions said in an appeal to the working people the world over in May 1952 that the Korean people's stubborn fight against aggression made a new impact on the world people's resistance against imperialism and its colonial system.
Slogan "Let us fight as the Korean people do!" came out from among the oppressed peoples of the world and the national liberation struggle in colonies entered a period of great upsurge.
In Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia peoples won in the anti-France resistance with all-out counterattacks and dealt a telling blow at the U.S. imperialist aggressors invading their countries in place of France. The Indonesian people, too, intensified their liberation struggle.
In the Middle East, Egyptian, Lebanon and Jordanian peoples drove out the imperialist aggressors through vigorous struggle against their armed intervention.
In Africa the Algerian people started their armed struggle against the French colonialists in November 1954, while an anti-U.S. action was growing in intensity in Cuba and other countries of Latin America, called "tranquil backyard" and "hereditary estate" of the U.S.
The victory, won in the war by the Korean people under wise guidance of President Kim Il Sung, greatly encouraged Asian, African and Latin American peoples in the struggle for national liberation. -0-
