30 Of The World’s Deadliest And Most Terrifying Dictators

9. Kim Il Sung


Kim Il Sung was North Korea’s president from 1972 until his death in 1994. He led his country with brutal force and aggression, and had no qualms of deceiving his fellow countrymen that the cause of their suffering was the United States. He claimed that the U.S. had spread a disease throughout the countryside, killing more than a million people. The deaths were actually his own doing. Most of the people in North Korea lived in poverty, and they still do up to this day. Kim died in 1994 and was succeeded by his son, Kim Jong-Il.
