History of Japan–Korea relations
[[Kim Il-sung]] led a [[Korean independence movement]], which was active in the border areas of China and Russia, particularly in areas with considerable ethnic Korean populations. Kim founded [[North Korea]], and his descendants have still not signed a peace treaty with Japan. The [[Provisional Government of the Republic of Korea]], led by (later) South Korea's first president [[Syngman Rhee]], moved from Shanghai to [[Chongqing]]. Lee lobbied in the United States and was recognized by the South Korean administrator by [[Douglas MacArthur]]. Japanese control of Korea ended on September 9, 1945 when the Japanese [[Governor-General of Korea]] signed the surrender document of the United States in Seoul.
