In the late 1500s, Korea was invaded by Japan during the Imjin War (also known as the Japanese invasions of Korea, 1592-1598), primarily due to Japan's desire to expand its territory and influence in East Asia. The outcome of these invasions was devastating for Korea, leading to significant loss of life, destruction of infrastructure, and social upheaval. However, Korea ultimately managed to repel the invasions with the help of allied forces, including Ming China, and the conflict solidified Korean national identity despite the destruction. The invasions also marked a decline in the power of the Joseon Dynasty and shifted the regional balance of power in East Asia.

Why did the US invade the Korean peninsula?

To restore South Korea after it had been invaded by North Korea. The US invaded Korea twice. The first time was in 1945 when the US and the USSR agreed to invade the Korean Peninsula to defeat the ruling Japanese. The USSR invaded from the north and, as agreed, stopped at the 38th parallel. The US invaded from the south and stopped at the same line. The second time, in 1950, the US only invaded North Korea. The Republic of Korea (South Korea) requested US assistance, so when the US entered South Korea it was by invitation, not invasion. The invasion of North Korea was part of the objective of eliminating the North Korean ability to effectively re-invade South Korea.
