Yenan group

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Yenan group were a group of pro-China communists in the North Korean government after the division of Korea following World War II. The group were involved in a power struggle with pro-soviet factions but Kim Il Sung was eventually able to defeat both factions and dominate the North Korean government which allowed him to push for unification during the Korean War.
