Pyongyang, April 24 (KCNA) -- April 25 is the significant day marking the 93rd anniversary of the founding of the Korean People's Revolutionary Army (KPRA).
After occupying Korea in the last century, the Japanese imperialists intensified their colonialist suppression and plunder of it in order to maintain their colonial rule and expand their overseas aggression. At the same time, they made desperate efforts to obliterate the mounting anti-Japanese spirit of the Korean people.
So Anti-Japanese mass struggles were waged everywhere, but they met with failure due to the brutal suppression by the Japanese imperialists.
The reality urgently required an organized armed struggle to be waged in order to fight against the Japanese imperialists armed to the teeth.
President Kim Il Sung , who embarked on the road of revolution with a great intention of national liberation in his early years, set forth the line of organizing and waging an armed struggle against the Japanese imperialists at the historic Kalun Meeting in June 1930.
The line of armed struggle was developed in depth through the Mingyuegou Meeting held in December 1931. The meeting formally declared an anti-Japanese revolutionary war to annihilate the Japanese imperialists under the slogan "Oppose arms with arms, and oppose counterrevolutionary violence with revolutionary violence!"
Under the energetic leadership of the President, armed groups were formed and the struggle was waged to arm oneself by taking the enemy's weapons and to make weapons by one's own efforts.
After making the full preparations for organizing the revolutionary armed ranks, the President founded the Korean People's Revolutionary Army (then the Anti-Japanese People's Guerrilla Army), the first revolutionary armed force of the Juche type, on April 25, 1932.
The founding of the KPRA was a historic event that ushered in a new era of the Juche revolution relying on the powerful revolutionary armed forces. -0-
