The 16th century brought the end of the Mongol Empire and the beginnings of a massive game of tug of war between China and Japan on strategic mass. After World War II, Korea finally broke free from Japan, with the USSR, Northern administration and the United States occupying the South. Today the North and South are two sovereign nations separated by a demilitarized zone. The South Korea is officially known as the Republic of Korea (ROK) and commonly referred to simply as Korea.
