Countries That Were Once Occupied!
Take Poland, for example. During World War 2, it was invaded by both Nazi Germany and the
Soviet Union. For years, Poland as a country didn't even officially exist on the map.
South Korea was occupied by Japan for 35 years, from 1910 to 1945. During this time, their
culture, language, and even their names were suppressed. A brutal period that shaped modern
Korean identity.
Let’s talk about the British Empire. At its peak, it occupied nearly a quarter of the world's
landmass. India, Australia, parts of Africa—many countries lived under colonial rule for
centuries.
And did you know Iraq was occupied by the United States and its allies after the 2003 invasion?
The impact of this is still felt today, politically and socially.
