Detailed explanation-1: -Answer: The correct answer is D. After Korea was freed from Japanese occupation in 1945, Korea became a battleground between two strong powers. The United States backed non-communist Koreans in the south, and the Soviet and Chinese helped Korean communists gain power in the north.
Detailed explanation-2: -Japanese rule over Korea ended on 15 August 1945 with the surrender of Japan in World War II. The armed forces of the United States and the Soviet Union subsequently occupied this region.
Detailed explanation-3: -On August 9, Soviet forces invaded northern Korea. A few days later, Japan surrendered. Keeping to their part of the bargain, U.S. forces entered southern Korea on September 8, 1945. Over the next few years, the situation in Korea steadily worsened.
Detailed explanation-4: -Suh Sang Il established the Korean Independence League (KIL) in January 1915. Former Emperor Gojong (Gwangmu) died in Seoul on January 21, 1919. Korean nationalists formally declared Korea’s independence from the government of Japan on March 1, 1919.
