Answer:

a. Japan

Explanation:

Japan was the first country to invade Korean territory.

The Korean Peninsula has been the target of foreign interference since the beginning of the 20th century, especially by the Japanese, who had annexed the peninsula to their territory in 1910. Japan's occupation of Korea was ratified by the signing of the Korea-Japan Annexation Agreement. This agreement started the occupation of Korea by Japanese citizens.

The occupation of Korea materialized from the formation of Japanese colonies on Korean territory. The Japanese took the productive land hitherto occupied by the Koreans and made Koreans to perform forced labor (and many were sent to Japan precisely to accomplish this purpose). In addition, the Japanese occupation was marked by several sexual crimes committed against Koreans.

Because of the violence of the Japanese occupation, the Koreans allied themselves with the Americans' war effort against the Japanese during World War II. The Koreans' great dream of expelling the Japanese invaders was to guarantee Korea's independence, but what the Koreans did not expect is that the powers of war had other interests for the peninsula.
