Question about Japan

Did Korea ever fight Japan?

This article examines the various conflicts between Korea and Japan throughout history, including Mongol invasions in 1231-1259 CE, Toyotomi Hideyoshi's invasion of Korea in 1592-1598 CE, the First Sino-Japanese War (1894–1895), the Russo-Japanese War (1904–1905), and the Second Sino-Japanese War (1937–1945). Koreans faced oppressive rule from Japanese forces during these conflicts which led to resistance movements such as student protests and general strikes.
