Who colonized NORTH Korea?

Question

I'm doing a UN project for school and I can't seem to find a definate answer on the Internet as to who colonized North Korea. I'm getting all different countries like Japan and China...

Answer 1

The Chinese, Koreans, and Japanese all have a common biological heritage. However, they each have a cultural and ethnological distinctiveness going well into ancient times. The Chinese, Mongolians, and Japanese have all tried to subjugate the Korean people, and all without significant success. That is the reason early Christians met with such stiff opposition--not just because they rejected a new religion, but because it, whatever it was, was not Korean.

The division of north and south came from two influences, both touching upon the ancient uniqueness of Korea. During the Japanese occupation, many of the strong patriots that kept the revolt against Japanese rule alive were Christians. But, just as happened in China during the waning days of WWII, the communists infiltrated. Christians in the south resented the atheist communists grabbing power in the north. The communists in the north, meanwhile, were resentful of the leadership of the non-Korean religion. Essentially, they were saying that if they couldn't have the old Korea, they wanted none of the Western-sourced Christian influence in their politics. Neither wanted to specifically go back to the Korean monarchy, although that is essentially what happened in the North. In several places and times the father of the current ruler of North Korea bragged about how his ancestors killed Christians and fought outsiders. As it progressed, North Koreans accepted outside help from Russia (Soviet Union) and China only as it helped them drive a worse evil from their land (largely American-supported Christianity). Ironic, the Soviets became the "useful idiots" of Korean communists.

Answer 2

North Korea and South Korea were colonized by Japan since 1910. After Second World War, Korea independent-ed from Japan in 1945. For 35 years, Japan abused Korean people, especially women, for Japan's benefit. As Korea independent-ed from Japan, Korea divided into South Korea and North Korea by Soviet Union and United States.

Answer 3

the Korea's were first occupied by china, but i wouldn't call it 'colonization' as it was annexed to china. however, Japan actually colonized the Korea's in the early 1900's....not sure of the date. so, china made Korea part of china....and Japan colonized it.
you could argue that since WWII, North Korea was colonized through influence by china and South Korea was colonized through influence by the USA.
