Much of what we now know as Korea had attained a degree of unity and enjoyed an old culture at the time the Roman Empire flourished. In the 14th century the relatively small peninsular country became known as the kingdom of Chosen, a name often given Korea to this day. Korea, after completing its treaty of 1876 with the Japanese, made similar "open door agreement? with a number of other powers, including the United States. But none served to protect Korea from aggression and exploitation. Japan, after winning its war with Russia, made Korea a protectorate for a time until the annexation, when Korean properties were seized or expropriated. Korean patriots penned their own declaration of independence in 1919. This touching and beautifully written document was presented to the Japanese with peaceful intent, but the signers were executed. A provisional government in exile was formed. For many years this powerless government, under Dr Syngman Rhee, campaigned for independence. In 1948 the Rhee government at Seoul was recognized by the United Nations, the though tragic struggle for northern half of the country was unfreedom, unity, and independence. der Russian domination.
