Korea was already under Japan's control before the Russian-Japanese War of 1904-1905, and it stayed that way until the end or World War Two in August 1945. Korea was seized from China by Japan in 1894.
In 1945 as the result of the Soviet Union's attack on Japan at the end of WW2, the Soviet Union held the northern part of Korea (North Korea) where they installed a communist government, before they withdrew. The southern part of Korea (known as South Korea) was free from all outside powers, yet protected by the United States.
In 1950 Communist North Korea invaded South Korea, starting the Korean War 1950-1953. See wikipedia for details.
