People's Republic of Korea
The People’s Republic of Korea was a short-lived provisional government established in Korea after the surrender of 
Empire of Japan in WWII.
History
On 15 August 1945, the 
Empire of Japan surrendered to the 
Allied Powers 
in Korea. 
Soviet Union continued fighting Japan in 
Chongjin, a key northern port city. With the Soviet 
Red Army occupying the northern part of Korea and the 
U.S. taking control of the south, the Korean peninsula was divided along the 38th parallel, setting the stage for 
future tensions 
.
The PRK was established, and a bunch of 
communist committees funded by no other than the 
Soviet Union himself. The committees started to take over the north and also attempted to take the south, but United States of America did allow it and decided to get rid of all the committees in the south to establish his own government.
