After the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, China suffered heavy losses, and the Japanese took the opportunity to coerce North Korea into independence from the Qing Dynasty and established the Korean Empire. Then, Japan forcibly passed the Japan-South Korea merger treaty. In name, Japan and South Korea merged into one country, but in fact, the Korean peninsula was turned into a Japanese colony.
After the Korean peninsula was occupied by Japan, some people of insight never gave up the national independence movement. 19 19, the interim government of north Korea was established in China, and Li Chengwan was elected as the chairman of the interim government. During the Anti-Japanese War, Shanghai was occupied by the Japanese army, and the Korean interim government moved to Chongqing with the China government.
1948, the United States abandoned the Soviet Union, organized the election of Li Chengwan as president in the southern part of the peninsula, and established the Republic of Korea. Subsequently, with the support of the Soviet Union, the northern part of the peninsula elected Kim Il Sung as the supreme leader and established the Democratic People's Republic of Korea. Since then, the peninsula has officially split into two countries.
With Chinese people's Volunteer Army's participation in the war, China, North Korea and the United States finally signed an armistice agreement in Panmunjom, and the state of split and confrontation on the peninsula continues to this day.
Extended data:
Before the war, the north-south split situation not only failed to be resolved, but further deteriorated. As a hot spot in the world military arena, the Korean peninsula has continued to this day.
South Korea's economy was severely damaged after the war. After the war, Li Chengwan still aimed at reunification, ignored economic development, and constantly planned to go to war with North Korea at any time. After the April 16th Movement, Li Chengwan stepped down, but the situation did not ease.
Since then, the "Shiwei Island Incident" occurred during park chung-hee's administration, and the hostile atmosphere between the two sides has not changed because of the change of leaders. The leaders of North Korea and South Korea have met and talked several times, but due to the fundamental differences in ideology and political system, no substantive progress has been made.
