Introduction to the discussion✒️📑
Japanese colonization of Korea began between 1910 and 1945, following the annexation of Korea (the country) as part of the Japanese Empire. The Chosan Kingdom was brought into Japan's sphere of influence by the 1876 Japan-Korea Treaty and a complex alliance of the Meiji period. Military and commercial authorities began the process of integrating the politics and economy of the Korean Peninsula with Japan.The Empire of Korea (proclaimed name in 1897) became a Japanese protectorate with the 1905 Japan-Korea Treaty. After that, Japan ruled the country indirectly through Japanese generals residing in Korea.
Then, in the 1910 Japan-Korea Treaty, without the consent of the former Korean emperor, Gojong, his son Sunjong's viceroy (the second and last Korean emperor), officially annexed Korea. Japan-ruled Korea was governed by the Commander-in-Chief of Korea based in Kiju (present-day Seoul).

This treaty stipulated that Korea should act under the direction of a general residing in Japan.The effect of the provisions of this treaty was that the administration of internal affairs was handed over to Japan.
The Korean Empire had become a Japanese protectorate under the terms of the previous Yulsa Treaty of 1905, and thus had lost the right to conduct diplomatic exchanges with other countries.

Summary of exercises and achievements✒️🗒️⚖️
During the Second Sino-Japanese War and the Second World War, the foundations of Japan's influence in Korea weakened. At the beginning of the war, when Shanghai was captured by Japan, the Korean Provisional Government fled from there. During the Second World War, the American, Chinese and British governments promised independence to the Korean people.Korean independence forces spread throughout China and declared war on Japan in 1942.These forces cooperated with the Allied forces in Korea and continued to fight until the surrender of Japan in 1945.
The division of Korea into North and South Korea originated from the victory of the Allies in World War II in 1945 and the end of 35 years of Japanese domination over Korea. In a plan that was overwhelmingly opposed by the Koreans, the United States and the Soviet Union agreed to temporarily take over the country from the 38-degree orbit.
