Throughout the entire recorded history of Northern Korea, there are arguably seven major periods. 1. Gojoseon (First Korean Kingdom) 2. Goguryeo (Three Kingdoms of Korea period) 3. Balhae (Northern and Southern kingdoms period) 4. Goryeo (Unified Korean Peninsula) 5. Joseon (Successor dynasty of the Unified Korean Peninsula) 6. Japanese Occupation (Northern Korea was home to many Korean anti-Japanese guerrilla units) 7. Democratic People's Republic of Korea (Present Day)
Korea is two countries (North Korea and South Korea) on a peninsula.
The Chinese Han dynasty did "conquer" the first Korean kingdom of Gojoseon around 108 BC (The northen half of the Korean peninsula). They were expelled later on and Korea (The kingdoms of Korea) remained independent pretty much up until the Japanese colonization. Between this period Korea (The various Kingdoms that became Korea) were at times tributaries to other nations (The Mongols and the Qing).
North Korea and South Korea lie on the Korean Peninsula.
Japan controlled Korea prior to 1930.

Korea. As in, the entire peninsula. When Korea was one, when it was in the Three-Kingdoms period, and even during the North-South "temporary" split. It also went through history's largest recorded invasion, via China.
No, South Korea is not a peninsula.
North Korea itself is not a peninsula. Along with South Korea it is on a peninsula known as the Korean peninsula. North Korea forms the start of it and South Korea is the end of the peninsula.
The peninsula that both Russia and Germany wanted to control during the Russo-Japanese War was the Liaotung Peninsula. It is located between China and Korea.

There are two parts of this question. The first is why the term "Republic" is involved in the title and the second is why the word "South" is not in the title."Republic" is part of the name since South Korea has a republican form of government, with a legislature and presidency. During the Cold War, it was an authoritarian republic, but since 1987, it has been a true democracy."South" is a laymen's way of distinguishing the two governments in Korea, because the democratic government controls the territory to the south of the communist government. However, the South Korean government claims that it is the sole legitimate government in Korea and reserves the right to control the entire peninsula, not just the southern half. (The North Korean government has the same view, that it reserves the right to control the whole peninsula.) As a result, the official name of the country reflects that the current government's ideal is to rule the entire peninsula.
