Quotations of the great leader generalissimo KIM IL SUNG on the victory in the Fatherland Liberation War

 

                                                               

The just Fatherland Liberation War of the Korean people against the US imperialist invaders and their stooges, the Syngman Rhee clique, ended in our victory.
This fact–the signing of the Armistice Agreement–is a proof of the military, political and moral defeat of the US imperialist invaders and their lackeys, the Syngman Rhee clique.
The Korean people waged a heroic fight in the three-year Fatherland Liberation War, enjoying disinterested assistance, material and moral, from the peoples of the democratic camp who love world peace. Thus they defended the honour, freedom and independence of their fatherland–the Democratic People’s
Republic of Korea–and won the victory.
The US imperialists tried to impose upon the Korean peopletheir yoke of slavery in place of the colonial slavery of Japanese imperialism, reduce Korea to their colony and, further, turn it into
a base of war against China and the Soviet Union. But they failed to attain their aim.
In their war of aggression against the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, the US imperialists themselves plainly revealed that they are the vicious enemy of both the Korean people and the freedom-loving peoples the world over. The officers and men of the Korean People’s Army fought
heroically, displaying indomitable perseverance, and thereby smashed to smithereens the myth about the “technical omnipotence” and “invincibility” of the US imperialists, and compelled them to sign the Armistice Agreement

The US imperialist invaders mobilized their ground, naval and air forces, armed with up-to-date technique, and even their satellite troops. But they failed to attain their sinister designs.
They were defeated with tremendous loss in manpower and  materiel. In the three years of the Korean war, the US imperialists came to know well how great the might of the Korean people is,
how indomitable their fighting spirit is, and what a great vitality the people’s democratic system established in the northern half of Korea has.
More than once in its 5 000-year history, our nation fought heroic struggles against foreign invaders. But never before has there been an instance that all the people united in strength to deal a decisive blow to a formidable enemy and won a shining victory as in this Fatherland Liberation War and that our people
have acquired an increased international prestige and enjoy active support and sympathy from the people all over the world as at present.

                                                                        

Through their heroic struggle, the Korean people and their armed forces, the glorious People’s Army, exposed to the whole world the true colour of the US imperialists, the ringleader of most savage modern imperialism.
The Korean war not only smashed the myth of US “might” but also laid bare the evil nature of the idealized American-styledemocracy” which the US imperialists had tactfully kept under cover for a long time.
The US imperialists incurred the anger and indignation of the freedom-loving people all over the world and were isolated from them because of the barbarities they committed against our people during the Korean war and the criminal ways and means of warfare they employed which were unprecedented in history.
The military, political and moral defeat of the US imperialist invaders on the Korean front is a great victory not only of the Korean people in the struggle to defend liberty and independence but also of the freedom-loving democratic camp in the world.

we defeated the huge armed forces of US imperialism, the ringleader of world imperialism,

and its 15 satellite countries, and forced them to sign the Armistice Agreement as we demanded. This is a great victory for us.

What are the victories we achieved in the arduous three-year war?

First, the Korean people and the People’s Army, through their heroic struggle, repulsed the enemy’s invasion and defended the democratic base in the northern half of Korea

with honour.

…........The Korean war laid bare the brutal nature of imperialism to the world, and shattered the myth of the “might” of US imperialism to pieces.

In fact, earlier some people had an illusion about the “might” and “humanitarianism” of US imperialism. Through the Korean war, however, the people of the world not only realized clearlythat the US imperialists were the most heinous savages but also came to believe more firmly that if a people fought to the last bravely, arms in hands, they would be able to defeat them.

It was widely known to the world for long that US imperialism was the most vicious aggressor and biggest robber in the world .”

Even a small country can defeat a powerful country if it establishes Juche,unites themasses of people and valiantly wages battle ,regardless of sacrifice . This is a very plain truth of a our time which has been borne out in real life. The experience of the Korean war proved this truth

In this great struggle our people fought determinedly as one in mind under the correct leadership of the party and government and thereby withstood the harsh trials of war honourably and won a historic victory inflicting an ignominious defeat on US imperialism and its running dogs"
