8 K-Dramas Set During Japanese Colonial Rule in Korea Pt 1 of 2 Japanese Colonial Rule in Korea (1910–1945) Japanese colonial rule over Korea began formally in 1910. Japan forced Korea into a protectorate status through the Eulsa Treaty of 1905, stripping it of diplomatic sovereignty, and in 1910, officially annexed Korea. The colonial domination lasted for thirty-five (35) years (1910–1945). The Japanese authorities were greedy and cruel. They seized vast amounts of land, looted treasures, and exploited Korean labor and resources. Koreans were subjected to brutal repression and oppression. The colonial government did their best to eradicate Korean identity. Banned the Korean language in schools, replaced Korean names with Japanese ones, and promoted Shinto worship. Even so, Korean resistance persisted. In 1919, millions of Koreans protested peacefully for independence, and thousands were killed or arrested. Korean nationalists continued the struggle through underground movements and guerrilla warfare, particularly in Manchuria. Japan’s defeat in World War II (1945) finally ended the oppressive rule. Korea regained its independence after 35 years of occupation. Sadly, the Korean people though free ere divided. Their division and conflict led to the establishment of separate governments in the North and South by 1948.
