His 14 years of rule saw a pronounced shift in power to the military under the Songun (military-ﬁrst) doctrine. The military is considered hard-line toward the outside world, but also riven along generational lines and divided by factions with loyalties to one or another of Kim's sons.
 *  || Gain || Loss ||
 * US || influence in S. Korea
 * UN || image as a peacekeeping force
 * USSR || stop the capitalistic influence
 * Korea || free from communism
 * China || Good relationship with North Korea
 * Most plausible scenario for North Korea || **Military Rule:**


 * Our group thought the continued military rule was the most plausible argument for many reasons. First we thought that the totalitarian state will be very hard to be changed. And secondly the people of North Korea are thoroughly brainwashed that they live in a paradise under the current rule. Kim Jung Il will never allow his power to be taken away and his Stalinist regime will most likely continue. ||  ||
