Why North Korea became a poor country.

It's because of the first North Korean dictator.

His name is Kim Il-sung.

He was a soldier before becoming president.

His politics ruined North Korea...

Southside Agriculture was thriving, and the Northside Industry was flourishing on the Korean Peninsula.

So It seems like Northside would flourish, right?

But it's not true!!!!!!!!!

They don't have any tips to make food.

They don't know how to do Agriculture.

People began big panic because of the food shortage.

 What should we do to make food!!!!!!

Kim Il-sung!!

We must make food to avoid great famine!!!!!!

Kim Il-sung!! What we should do!!!

So Kim Il-sung gave the instruction.

There are a lot of Mountains, right!! 

"If you don't have enough food, 

you should cut forests on the mountain then turn forests into terraced fields and grow corn!!

Yes, Sir!!

Then, people cut forests on mountains and planted corn along with his instructions.

At that time They didn't imagine that this decision would ruin North Korea's future.

By the way, I wanna ask one question...

Have you seen that corn growing on terraced fields?

No way!!

Yes, Corn can't grow up on terraced fields.

Generally, Corn grows up wide vast, and flat land.

But of course, Kim Il-sung doesn't know that.

No way that he knows that!!

Because he was a soldier before!!

Not a farmer!!

As a result, Corn didn't grow.

All the cones are ruined.

Not only that.

They already cut forests on mountains.

The mountain couldn't save rain, and because of that, they cut the forest.

Because of that, it caused a lot of terrible damage.

Then,

Damage 1,  

That caused A mudslide caused by heavy rain.

and the mountain sand flowed into an urban area.

Damage 2,

The river overflowed, causing a flood.

Damage 3,

A large amount of see dement flowed into the sea,

Causing a large number of fish to die.

Finally, because of that the Great Famine further accelerated.

In his attempt to solve food shortages, 

he has accelerated food shortages…

It is the horrible point of dictatorship.

No one can stop wrong politics and give an opinion to the dictator.

Nations have to follow a dictator to survive.

Because if the nation disobeys him, he might kill the nation.

No one wanna get killed.

So even though his instruction was wrong, 

Nations have to follow a dictator to survive.

No one can disobey.

That caused, North Korea to become a poor country.

Dictatorship is horrible......

Human history is truly complex, isn’t it? There are countless websites introducing historical figures and events, but many of them are just plain explanations—not exactly exciting to read. On the other hand, reading books takes a lot of time and effort. That’s where I come in. Through "stories that are more engaging than explanations and shorter than books," I aim to bring the world’s history and humanity’s records to you in a more accessible and interesting way. If my stories inspire you to love history a little more, I’d be absolutely thrilled!
