1969 in North Korea

In 1969, North Korea was led by Kim Il-sung. The government kept tight control over society and focused on strengthening the military and the economy. The country stayed largely isolated from the rest of the world, with no widely reported major events abroad involving North Korea that year. The year was part of the ongoing effort to build up the state and its resources.
