Korean Revolution

The Korean Revolution generally refers to movements in Korea that led to independence from Japanese colonial rule (1910-1945) and the subsequent establishment of South Korea's democratic government. It encompasses efforts by Koreans to resist Japanese control, promote national identity, and achieve sovereignty. The revolution includes key events such as the March 1st Movement (1919), a mass protest demanding independence, and the broader struggle for self-determination. After Japan's defeat in World War II, Korea was liberated, leading to the founding of South Korea in 1948, highlighting the nation's journey toward political sovereignty and modernization.
