    Korea under Japanese rule

    Japanese colonial period in Chōsen (Korea), 1910–1945

    From 1910 to 1945, Korea was ruled by the Empire of Japan under the name Chōsen, the Japanese reading of "Joseon". Japan first took Korea into its sphere of influence during the late 1800s. Both Korea and Japan had been under policies of isolationism, with Joseon being a tributary state of Qing China. However, in 1854, Japan was forcefully opened by the United States. It then rapidly modernized under the Meiji Restoration, while Joseon continued to resist foreign attempts to open it up. Japan eventually succeeded in opening Joseon with the unequal Japan–Korea Treaty of 1876. Afterwards, Japan embarked on a decades-long process of defeating its local rivals, securing alliances with Western powers, and asserting its influence in Korea. Japan assassinated the defiant Korean queen and intervened in the Donghak Peasant Revolution. After Japan defeated China in the 1894–1895 First Sino–Japanese War, Joseon became nominally independent and declared the short-lived Korean Empire. Wikipedia
