Pre-war history

Unlike World War I, World War II, the Vietnam War, and The War on Terror, the Korean War's intricacy, location, and timing have caused history to gloss over the conflict. For centuries, Japan and China ruled Korea, including Korea. Following World War II, Japan annexed Korea, and the Allied forces liberated Korea, dividing it into two occupied zones. The 38th parallel was drawn on the dividing line, resulting in the establishment of a Communist North Korea and a South Korean republic.
