Japanese attacked Korea in 17 century because a crazy guy called Toyotomi Hideyoshi tried to take over ChoSeon(Ancient Korea),Ming,and India
It's so crazy and ridiculous
-edit, the above comment is just ridiculous-
The reason why Japan attacked (in the 19th to 20th century) was because Japan wanted man power and the food capablity Korea had. Not only did Japan want Korea but Russia and China also wanted power over Korea. At the late 19th century and almost the beginning of 20th century, Japan assassinated the Korean Princess and burned her to show that Japan was going to rule Korea from that point on. The Japanese occupation lasted til 1945 when Japan was pushed back to their homeland.
To this day, Japanese government officials deny this ever happend and argues that they will not apologize for what they have never done (which is untrue). The good thing is that the President of Japan apologized for the cause of World War 2 and the occupation of Korea which they had raped many women and children and used Men for their dirty works. I could talk about the cruelties of the Japanese occupation but that wouldn't be enough.
-edit-
I believe the first poster is referring to the Imjin War (1592-1598 Japanese Invasions of Korea). In this case, Japan under the leadership of Toyotomi Hideyoshi sought to conquer Korea, Manchuria, China, and India. At first, Hideyoshi only sought to conquer Ming China and requested passage through Korea to do so. However, Korea refused since they were close allies with Ming China. This led to the Japanese Invasions of Korea in which Korea, allied with Ming China, defeated the Japanese invading forces twice. Note that the first poster is also correct in saying that Toyotomi Hideyoshi was "crazy" because in the final part of the Imjin War, Hideyoshi did end up going insane.
