Kim Il Sung (1912-1994) was the dictatorial leader of Communist North Korea (the People's Democratic Republic of Korea) from 1948 until his death and led the country into the Korean War of 1950-53 by his invasion of South Korea. Kim created an absolutist tyranny in North Korea and a cult of personality unprecedented in modern times. Within the country he was universally referred to as the 'Great Leader', and, despite having died, occupies the position of 'Eternal President' in the North Korean Constitution. He was succeeded as leader by his son, Kim Jong Il, the 'Dear Leader'.
