From 1910 to 1945, Korea was under Japanese rule, a period marked by significant political and social changes. The Japanese government implemented policies aimed at assimilating Koreans into Japanese culture, including the suppression of the Korean language and the promotion of Japanese education. During this time, many Koreans faced harsh treatment, including forced labor and conscription into the Japanese military. The period also saw resistance movements emerge, as Koreans sought to regain their independence, culminating in various uprisings and protests against Japanese authority.
