π°π· 35 Years Under Colonial Rule: Koreaβs Struggle For Freedom
Did you know that the entire Korean Peninsula was under Japanese colonial rule from 1910 to 1945? π
During these 35 years, Koreans faced severe restrictions on their culture, language, and political freedom. Yet, the spirit of independence never disappeared. The historic March 1st Movement of 1919 became a powerful symbol of resistance.
Japanβs defeat in World War II ended its colonial rule in 1945. However, Korea was subsequently divided into Soviet and American occupation zones, eventually leading to the creation of North Korea and South Korea in 1948.
π History reminds us that freedom can come at a tremendous cost.
What do you think is the most important lesson future generations should learn from this chapter of history?
