When South Korea became independent, the government was a Western-aligned autocracy. While South Korea was officially a democracy, there was no rule of law and the "Presidents" wielded levels of power similar to any other dictator. It was only in 1986 that South Korea became a liberal democracy. Since 1986, there have been a number of elections in South Korea, but no major substantive changes in the government.
