The Korean people faced harsh oppression and exploitation during this period. Following Japan's defeat in 1945, Korea was divided into two occupation zones, leading to the eventual establishment of North and South Korea. North Korea emerged as a Soviet-aligned state, which set the stage for future conflicts during the Cold War.
