from the year 1910, Korea was occupied by Japan. Japan surrendered on the 15th of Aug, 1945 after two atomic bombs were dropped in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Then it was the Korean War...

so basically, Korea was pretty weak and very traditional; some of the reasons why Korea was so weak was because when the 'outside travellers'(e.g. from Europe, America,...) came to trade, etc, Korea refused but on the other hand, Japan accepted them; allowing the Japanese to learn to make guns, use them, etc. They took advantage of this and attacked Korea.
