Governor-General of Korea

*** Shopping-Tip: Governor-General of Korea
During the period between 1910 and 1948 there were various ''Governors of Korea''. Historically the most important of these viceroys were the ''Governor-General Governors-General of Korea'', who represented the Chrysanthemum Throne Emperors of the Chrysanthemum line who were de facto rulers of Korea from 1910 to 1945. By Korean legal thought, de jure sovereignty was not transferred to the Emperor of Japan with the forced end of the Joseon dynasty, such that the Provisional Government of the Republic of Korea became the de jure government of the Korean people from 1919 to 1948, and the foreign ''Governors'' merely exercised de facto rule for the period. The Japanese ''Governors'' were succeeded by de facto Soviet and U.S. military administrators of Korea who exercised de facto rule from 1945 to 1948. After 1948, power passed to the North Korea Democratic People's Republic of Korea and the South Korea Republic of Korea.
