The Korean army and people owe the victory to the wise leadership of President Kim Il Sung, an invincible and iron-willed commander.

When they started the war, the U.S. imperialists were definitely sure of their victory, saying that the result of the war was already decided.

But they, overpowered by the President's superb strategies and distinguished commanding art, surrendered Seoul three days after the outbreak of the war, and failed to hold the defense line along the River Kum, which they had advertised as "last defense line" and "line of no retreat". They even lost battles in Taejon.

During the war their "general Christmas offensive", "summer and autumn offensives" and "model battle" ended in laughingstocks of the world people.

At that time a U.S. newspaper said it was hard for the U.S. to vouch for its victory in the war.

Progressive people all over the world highly praised the DPRK for having defeated the U.S. imperialists styling themselves the strongest in the world, only five years after freeing itself from the imperialist yoke.

They also viewed the victory as a genuine miracle wrought by the President's outstanding military strategies and ideas.
