Answers
GPT 3.5
Japan began to exert control over Korea during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. In 1876, Japan forced Korea to open up its borders to foreign trade through the Japan-Korea Treaty of Amity. This marked the beginning of Japan's increasing influence over Korea.
In 1905, Japan signed the Eulsa Treaty with Korea, effectively making Korea a protectorate of Japan. In 1910, following the signing of the Japan-Korea Annexation Treaty, Japan officially annexed Korea, making it a colony of the Japanese Empire.
During Japan's occupation of Korea, which lasted until the end of World War II in 1945, the Korean people were subjected to harsh colonial rule, including cultural suppression, forced assimilation, and exploitation of resources. This period of Japanese colonial rule had a profound impact on Korea and laid the groundwork for the tensions and conflicts that continue to exist between Japan and Korea today.
