Line 17: == Colonial origins == From the year ~~1910-1945~~1910–1945, Korea was ruled as a Japanese colony. This fact forced the integration of Korea into the Japanese empire's economic and political spheres. Thus, after the [[Second Sino-Japanese War]] began in 1937, Korea was integrated into the Japanese war effort. It was amid Japan's efforts towards creating a more scientific and technologically advanced country for the war when a team of researchers worked to fabricate Vinylon.  The first successful creation of Vinylon was in 1939, by a [[Kyoto University]] research team in Japan.<ref name=":0">Lee, Hy-Sang.
