By the time of Japan's surrender in World War II in August 1945, Korea was under Japanese colonial rule, which had been in place since 1910. The Korean population had suffered severe repression, exploitation, and cultural assimilation during this period. The end of the war led to Korea's liberation, but it also resulted in the division of the peninsula into two separate zones of occupation: the Soviet Union in the north and the United States in the south, setting the stage for the Korean War and the eventual establishment of two distinct nations.
