Question

Which country took Korea after Japan lost it in 1945?

Answer 1

After Japan's defeat in World War II in 1945, Korea was divided into two occupation zones. The northern part of Korea was occupied by the Soviet Union, while the southern part was occupied by the United States. This division eventually led to the establishment of two separate countries: North Korea (Democratic People's Republic of Korea) and South Korea (Republic of Korea) in 1948.
