In the period of the anti-Japanese revolutionary war, President Kim Il Sung set forth the three-point line for national liberation, an important guideline that made it possible for the Korean people to liberate the country by themselves.

He put his heart and soul into mapping out a scientific operation plan for Korea’s liberation to hasten the preparations for the final decisive battle against the Japanese imperialists. And he convened a meeting of military and political cadres of the Korean People’s Revolutionary Army (KPRA) in January Juche 32(1943) to advance the three-point line for national liberation.

The three-point line was first to deal a fatal blow to the Japanese imperialists by a general attack of the KPRA, second to launch an all-people uprising in respond to the KPRA’s general attack and third to wage an general attack of the KPRA combined with all-people uprising and joint operations by small units of the KPRA and armed resistance organizations in homeland behind the enemy lines.

The general attack of the KPRA, the leading force in the anti-Japanese national liberation struggle, was a main factor for victory in the final decisive battle against the Japanese imperialists.

And the idea of raising an all-people uprising in response to the KPRA’s general offensive and launching joint operations of small units of the KPRA and armed resistance organizations behind enemy lines was the most just and realistic line that enabled our people to achieve the historic cause of national liberation by their own efforts on the basis of making an exact calculation of the balance of forces between enemy and friend and the prevailing situation.

Then, the President called a meeting of officers of the KPRA and chiefs of the small units, groups and revolutionary organizations in the Tumubong secret camp in February that year and set forth the concrete tasks and ways for carrying out the three-point line for national liberation.

Under such detailed preparations, he issued an order of general attack for national liberation on August 9 in Juche 34(1945) and finally, the historic cause of Korea’s liberation was accomplished on August 15 that year.
