On June 25, 1950, the US imperialists brought dark clouds of war to the sky above this land.

It was the confrontation between the US, the chieftain of world imperialism, which boasted of never being defeated in its history of more than a hundred years of aggressive wars, and the two-year-old DPRK, the young sovereign state.

All the people were worrying about the destiny of the motherland.

Just then, President Kim Il Sung declared with confidence in sure victory that the US imperialists had made a mistake in their estimate of the Korean people.

However powerful a country might be, it would be impossible to avoid loss and confusion from a sudden preemptive attack.

But the President took a drastic measure to repel the armed invasion of the enemy and wipe out the invaders by a decisive and immediate counteroffensive.

Our Korean People’s Army, obeying his order, repelled the surprise attack of the enemy and switched over to the decisive and instant counteroffensive and liberated Seoul, the stronghold of the enemy, within three days after the war broke out.

The myth of "the strongest" of US imperialism was shattered by the iron will and courage of the President in the early days of the Korean War.

Through the three-year war, our servicepersons and people who fought bravely under the command of the President vividly showed the mettle of the Koreans to the arrogant US imperialists.
