1919~1931: Japan changed to the “Cultural Rule” and pursued the gradual industrialization of Korea; Koreans organized a variety of activist movements (nationalist, socialist, anarchist, feminist, etc.); Modern literature and arts, including cinema, developed.
1937~1945: Korea was increasingly embroiled in Japan’s ever expanding imperial war; to mobilize Korea’s material and human resources, Japan adopted intensive assimilation policies [the exclusive use of Japanese in publications; the change of Korean names into Japanese ones; the promotion of intermarriage; the mandatory worship of Shintoism; and the forced ideological conversion of socialists]; due to the wartime mobilization, nearly 3.5 million Koreans were living overseas by 1944.

South Korea became dependent on the U.S. in economy and national defense and came to adopt anti-communist nationalism as its ruling ideology.
North Korea became still closer to China; Kim Ilsung secured his monopoly of power by purging his political rivals for their “responsibility” for the war’s cost.
Globally, the Korean War was the first hot war of the cold war era. As such, it substituted for WW III between the two superpowers and enabled “the long peace” of the cold war. (See William Stuek)
