North Korea strengthened national history education by extending targets to all grades in middle school since the occasion of excavating Dangoon Royal Tomb and the death of Il Sung Kim in 1990`s. They have emphasized that it is the historical task inherited from national legitimacy to construct the ``Great Strong State`` since entering 21st century. And yet they have been removing factors to threaten the ``Third Political Succession.`` On the other hand, they have issued the special edition of national history textbook for ``History to invade Chosun`` by ``imperialists``, USA and Japan and used it to teach the seniors in middle school. It made them hate the ``history of crime.`` It also stipulated South Korea as ``fascio-dictatorship,`` ``colony`` or nation of subserviency which worships powerful USA and Japan. In this way, history education is rooted in ideology in North Korea. It is an obstacle to go to co-prosperity unification as they emphasized ``Army Priority Politics`` by including soldier into ``the mass of public people`` by reforming constitution recently. Therefore, the textbooks of ``Chosun History`` which cover history of all, South and North Korea, should change the direction to cultivate the historical sense of unity and sense of community by overcoming history education biased to ideology education.
