North Korean Leader, Kim Il-Sung Returns From Exile
On this day in 1945, North Korean founder and leader Kim Il-sung returned from exile after 26 years of living abroad. His exile was due to Japan’s occupation of Korea, which began in 1910. During these years, Kim became a dedicated anti-Japanese revolutionary, first joining guerrilla groups in Manchuria and later aligning himself with the Soviet Union. By the end of World War II, Japan’s defeat opened the way for his return.

His return in Wonsan marked the beginning of a political journey that saw him become North Korea’s supreme leader, a position he held until his death in 1994. His sons have continued to hold on to power since his death.
