 | | In 1948 two separate regimes were formally established—the Republic of Korea in the South, and the Democratic People’s Republic under Communist rule in the North. | | | A personality cult had glorified Kim, but by the mid-1990s the rapid economic growth of North Korea’s early years had given way first to stagnation and then to hardship, and there was widespread dissatisfaction with the repressive regime. | | | Sporadic Korean attempts to overthrow the Japanese were unsuccessful, and after 1919 a provisional Korean government, under Syngman Rhee, was established at Shanghai, China. |
