Under the cruel rule of Japan's...
After King Kojong died, his son married to a Japanese woman which gave Japanese the opportunity to rule over Korea.
But while they were ruling over Korea, they treated Korean people as people who they conquered over.
In 1921, Koreans weren't allowed to publish our own newspapers or to organize political or intellectual groups.
On March 1, 1919, a small group of Koreans gathered people, and they pretested against Japanese ruling.
This was known as March First Movement.
In the wake of the protest, Japan granted considerable latitude to Korea.
However, after 1937, Japan launched the Second Sino Japanese War against China.
The economy was used for supporting Japan for the war but the Koreans were to be totally assimilated as Japanese.
The Japanese government also began to enlist Korean youths in the Japanese army as volunteers in 1938.
Worship at Shinto shrines became mandatory, and every attempt at preserving Korean identity was discouraged.
Korea’s economy changed a lot.
Japan was increasing the use of agriculture in Korea to provide Japanese for their needs of rice.
Japan was also building large-scale industries in Korea in the 1930's for war preparation.
There were books published by Korean authors about the unfairness of Japanese government.
From the late 1930's until 1945, Japanese forced Koreans to speak Japanese and consider themselves Japanese.
In 1937, the Japanese government ordered all schools in Korea to teach in Japanese and the students were not allowed to speak
Korean either outside the school or inside the school.
In 1939, the Japanese forced Koreans to adopt Japanese name.
During the war, Korean-language newspapers and magazines were shut down.
Finally the ruling stopped in 1945.
