3. Kim Il Sung, North Korea
Total Death Toll: 3,000,000
Who’s surprised to find North Korea here? Not me!
Trying to appear democratic, Kim Il Sung, the number three in our list of most evil elected presidents who killed the most people, was elected President in 1972 under a new constitution, and remained in charge until his death in 1994. This man is crucially responsible for the Korean War, which took place back in 1950, right after he was named Premier of North Korea. After the end of WW2, Japan forfeited its claim of Korea, and the country was split in two, the North remaining communist. I don’t know how Kim got into his head it’d be a good idea to start another war only five years after, but he did, so he determined himself to invade South Korea. Of course, the South had friends, friends with guns, friends who had just won the Second World War and were frenetic with victory, so North Korea was crushed.
