Japan had Korea in their Imperial Realm for a long time before World War 2. In the early 20th Century Japan made a treaty with Korea which involved the Japanese ruling Korea. The Japanese modernized Korea which did not have much electricity or modern transportation. Though the Koreans wanted to be independent they did benefit from the improvements the Japanese brought to Korea. Some disliked the Japanese control and others just let them have a free hand in ruling over them.

WW2 changed the Korean's attitude toward the Japanese because they had been forced to fight in the Japanese military in 1939. They were also forced to do war manufacturing and other tasks. After the war they wanted their freedom.

They were mostly unknown and unheard of in most parts of the US. Some had assimilated, but most lived in small west coast enclaves where they were more or less ignored.

All europeans in Japanese controlled areas were arrested and held in prison camps for the duration of the war. Many died of disease, abuse and neglect in these camps.

How did the Japanese treat the Koreans during World War 2?

Japanese did all kinds of cruel things with Koreans and Chinese.They did experiments performing Cesarean section to pregnant women without giving anesthetics, they peeled off face skins of people to test if they can survive, putting needles under the finger tips and many kinds of things.The Japanese locked Korean family's in their homes then set the house on fire, basically the Japanese burned them to death. Japanese would put splinters under the Koreans finger nails to test their pain tolerance. They would dig holes in the sand and bury the Koreans up to their shoulders, then the tide would come in and kill them. There is some many terrible things the Japanese did to Koreans. Japanese treated Koreans like Hitler treated Jewish people. The only reason people aren't really aware of Korean and Japanese history like Hitler and Jewish history is because Koreans are ashamed to talk about it, they shouldn't be. Also, Japanese would strip Koreans of their culture during their attempt to take over Korea. Japanese wouldn't let Korean people speak Korean otherwise they would be tortured, sometimes killed. Japanese men would rape Korean women, most of them being virgins (can't say all because there is no proof, but the majority of them were virgins).Yet, Japan do not apologize to both china and Korea. Actually they are proud of what they have done.

How did japan treat the Koreans after it annexed the country?

After Japan took over Korea, Korea was treated badly. Even though Japan does not admit, Koreans were forced to speak Japanese, believe their religion, and many other Japanese customs. If not, they were executed or tortured. Japan also did many unfair things to Koreans such as scientific human tests, selling them as slaves, and destroying their monuments. The relationship between Japan and Korea is similiar to the relationship between Germany and Poland in WW2.
