DIFFERENCE BETWEEN KOREA AND BRITISH

There are distinct differences between Britain and Korea. In Britain, the Industrial Revolution took place between approximately 1750 and 1850. Many countries are former British colonies. (Especially, in Africa...) Many natural resources and labor from the colonies were plentifully available for Britain industry. On the other hand, in Korea, the Industrial Revolution took place later than Britain because Korea was governed by Japan for 36 years. (1919 - 1945) We might have taken place the Industrial Revolution on schedule influenced from Japan because the Industrial Revolution of Japan took place earlier than Korea. (Revolution of Japan is called 'Meiji Restoration') Korea might have learned and received many advanced culture and skills like Japan's because Korea has been locating near Japan. We were not only provided a wide range of products and infrastructure from Japan but also provided many natural resources and labor to Japan. This is a big difference between Britain and Korea.
