Over the course of several unequal treaties signed in 1905, 1907, and 1910 respectively, the Korean Empire was made a protectorate and then was officially annexed into the Japanese Empire. The Korean peninsula was then ruled as a colony of the Japanese Empire until 1945.

The territory of Taiwan was also at one time controlled as a colony of the Japanese Empire. The island was annexed in 1895 following the First Sino-Japanese War. Like Korea, Taiwan was released from Japanese control in 1945 and is currently claimed by both the People's Republic of China and the Republic of China, also known as the Chinese Taipei.
