MindMap Gallery Modern History of Korea
The modern history of Korea encompasses a rich narrative from Japanese colonial rule to contemporary political transformation. Early on, Korea suffered brutal aggression by Japan, experiencing the demarcation of the 38th Parallel and forced labor and cultural oppression. Following the Korean War, South Korea rebuilt with UN support and witnessed the miraculous economic growth of the Han River Miracle. The Park Chung-hee era propelled rapid economic development. In contemporary times, the Moon Jae-in administration has focused on democratization, with gradual rapprochement between North and South Korea, and South Korea's international standing has risen accordingly.
