Kim Il-sung, the founding leader of North Korea, sought to expand a socialist state based on the principles of communism. He established a regime characterized by a centralized, one-party system under the Workers' Party of Korea. His government promoted a version of Marxist-Leninist ideology infused with a nationalist component known as "Juche," which emphasizes self-reliance and a strong emphasis on the Korean identity. Kim Il-sung aimed to spread this ideology and governmental structure both domestically and in other regions, particularly in efforts to promote communist movements and support revolutions in other countries, especially during the Cold War.
