Korea was an independent kingdom for much of the past
millennium. Following its victory in the Russo-Japanese War in 1905, Japan
occupied Korea; five years later it formally annexed the entire peninsula. After
World War II, a Republic of Korea (ROK) was set up in the southern half of the
Korean Peninsula while a Communist-style government was installed in the north
(the DPRK). During the Korean War (1950-53), US troops and UN forces fought
alongside soldiers from the ROK to defend South Korea from DPRK attacks
supported by China and the Soviet Union. An armistice was signed in 1953,
splitting the peninsula along a demilitarized zone at about the 38th parallel.
In 1993, KIM Yo'ng-sam became South Korea's first civilian
president following 32 years of military rule.
