Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
I'm guessing you mean oppressed by any nation other than North Korea which attacked in 1950, but this isn't clear in your question!.
Here's a short answer!.
Through the centuries, the kingdoms that occupied what is now South Korea went through periods of Chinese domination and later (in the 1800's) Russian influence!. Then Japan defeated Russia in the Russo-Japanese War (1904 -1905)!. Korea was subsequently controlled by Japan from 1905 until 1910 when Japan effectively annexed Korea!. Korea was continuously oppressed by Japan from 1910 until Japan's unconditional surrender to the Allied Forces, on 15 August 1945!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
