The country that was formerly known as "Chosen" is South Korea. The name "Chosen" is derived from the Japanese pronunciation of "Joseon," a historical Korean dynasty. This term was used during the period of Japanese rule over Korea from 1910 to 1945. After Korea gained independence, it became officially known as the Republic of Korea (South Korea).
Korea was annexed by Japan in 1910.
North Korea not SOuth Korea
Japan gained control of Korea in 1910, following the Japan-Korea Treaty of 1910, which formally annexed Korea as a Japanese colony. This followed a period of increasing Japanese influence over Korea, particularly after the First Sino-Japanese War in 1895 and the Russo-Japanese War in 1905. Japan's rule over Korea lasted until the end of World War II in 1945.
