North Korea has been a communist dictatorship since shortly after
the end of World War II. Ruled by the iron hand of Kim Il Sung, the
nation struggled economically compared to South Korea, which
engineered an economic miracle. Kim died in 1994, turning over the
government to his son, Kim Jong Il. A pampered youth, Kim Jong Il
gradually took over a variety of powerful positions in his father's
government. After he became the dictator, the country suffered a
series of economic disasters that brought death to thousands of
people. Meanwhile, Kim Jong Il became widely known for turning
North Korea into a nuclear power. During the early 21st century,
President George W. Bush labeled North Korea part of the Axis of
Evil. But some experts on North Korea believe that Kim is simply
using the nuclear card to gain worldwide respect and economic aid
from the United States. Nevertheless, Kim Jong Il remains a highly
controversial leader.
