During World War II, Korea was under Japanese colonial rule, having been annexed in 1910. The Japanese exploited Korea's resources and forced Koreans into labor and military service. Resistance movements emerged, but they were largely suppressed. The war ended in 1945 with Japan's defeat, leading to Korea's liberation and eventual division into two separate states—North Korea and South Korea—at the end of the conflict.
