First sentence: Ever since Korea's liberation from the yoke of Japanese imperialism in 1945 and the subsequent division into North and South Korea in 1948, the goal of modernization in South Korea has been to promote economic development through industrialization, to establish democracy, and to build a modern nation-state through reunification.
