Japan replaced China as the dominant power influencing Korea as a result of the Sino-Japanese War (1894-95). After defeating Russia in the Russo-Japanese War in 1905, Japan declared a protectorate over Korea; and in 1910, Japan annexed Korea. Korea was liberated from Japanese control at the end of World War II (1945), only to be divided into Communist North and Democratic South. Officially, the Korean War (which began in 1950) has not ended.
