Provisional Government of the Republic of Korea (Eastern Manifest Destiny)

The Provisional Government of the Republic of Korea, officially known as the Allied Joint Occupation Military Government in Korea (AJOMGIK), was the official ruling body of the entire Korean peninsula from October 11, 1946 to November 17, 1950. The period was largely marked by relative peace in Korea due to joint Chinese-Japanese use of Korean exiles to rule the government. Many of the leaders of the AJOMGIK would later become popular candidates, with 5 of the 16 ruling council members becoming future Korean presidents.
