The Korean-Japanese War was a conflict between the Democratic Empire of Korea and the nation of Japan.
==History==
The Democratic Empire of Korea never got along with Japan, with constant relationship blunders as the years went by. Later, on September 20, 2017, Korean agents attempted to assassinate the Japanese Royal Family. The attempt failed, and the Democratic Empire Korea declared war on Japan after learning that the Japanese Self-Defense Forces had a hand in foiling the assassination attempt.
==The War==
===Japan invaded===
The DEK invaded Japan on April 23, 2017, seizing the capital city of Tokyo on April 25, following heavy fighting. New America, facing an economic and military crisis because of the DEK's cyber-attack on New America, stayed out of the war, leaving the Federation, China, and the Christian Republic of New Russia to deal with the new threat. All three countries sent troops to aid Japan, but the Korean People's Army caused more damage by blowing up a power plant in Southern Japan, irradiating the southern end of the country. Undeterred by this, the Japanese-Federation-Russian coalition launch a counteroffensive against Tokyo. The attempt was a massive failure due to poor planning and the Koreans were able to defeat the coalition on May 25, 2018, effectively ending the war in a total defeat on the Japanese side.
==Aftermath==
The loss of Japan was a huge embarrassment to New America. It further damaged relations between the Democratic Empire of Korea and New America. Once Japan fell, the DEK began holding Americans, Russians, and Federation citizens in the occupied territory hostage. New America's government collaborated with the other two nations countries to work out a deal with the Korean Empire. However, things were complicated and the prisoners were slowly being returned in small increments, with all prisoners expected to be returned in ten years. 
Since 2017, the DEK continued its occupation of the country, though uprisings still happen across the nation. In 2018, the occupation force collapsed when the Democratic Empire of Korea itself collapsed, allowing the Japanese to retake their homeland.
