Kim Il Sung had envisioned the reunification of North and South Korea, but he had even thought of the name of the country, so why did he not succeed in the end?

Why did Kim Il Sung's plan for the "Federation of Korea" finally come to naught?

North Korea and South Korea both have a seat at the United Nations, but they are always at loggerheads and do not agree with each other's legitimacy. Kim Il Sung, the founder of North Korea, proposed the "Federal Republic of Korea", which tried to solve the problem of reunification by creating a neutral united state on the Korean Peninsula. But why didn't this come to fruition?

Kim Il Sung's proposal for the "Federal Republic of Korea" aimed at maintaining the independence of the northern and southern regimes and realizing the reunification of the Korean Peninsula. However, this vision faces many difficulties and challenges.

First of all, a real state needs a strong central government, and Kim Il Sung's proposal is only a coalition of North-South governments, lacking real national strength. In addition, there are fundamental differences between the North and the South over the specific plan for reunification, with North Korea wanting a neutral federal state and South Korea wanting a southern-dominated federal state.

Second, the South and the North have long been in the dilemma of mutual distrust, and it is difficult to reach a consensus. The "Federal Republic of Korea" proposed by the DPRK calls for the expulsion of foreign military forces from the Korean Peninsula, while the ROK believes that the retention of US troops in the south is a necessary condition for maintaining national security.

The absence of a strong central government and the consensus of both the North and the South is the biggest obstacle in Kim Il Sung's reunification plan. In addition, the South Korean government has not been clear about Kim Il Sung's proposal and has not received sufficient support. Therefore, while Kim Il Sung's reunification plan may seem good, it is difficult to achieve in reality.

Today's Korean Peninsula is still fraught with uncertainties and challenges. In order to achieve true reunification, the North and the South need to abandon prejudices, strengthen communication and cooperation, and jointly seek solutions. Only in this way can the peaceful reunification of the Korean Peninsula be realized and the people can enjoy happiness and tranquility.

The issue of the reunification of the Korean Peninsula is the focus of global attention and is also an important issue in East Asia. It is hoped that the South and the North will make joint efforts to realize the peaceful reunification of the Korean Peninsula at an early date.
