Answer:
The United States helped establish a democratic government focused on economic growth in South Korea.
Explanation:
South Korea, officially named as Republic of Korea, is a country located on the southern part of the Korean Peninsula between the Japanese Sea and the Yellow Sea.
From 1910 to 1945, the whole Korean peninsula was ruled by Japan. After World War II, Korea was divided into two occupation zones by the United States and the Soviet Union, which in turn laid the foundations for today's two Korean states.
On June 20, 1950, North Korea, supported by the People's Republic of China and the Soviet Union, invaded the South, causing the so-called Korean War, a war conflict with two million victims, effectively interrupted in 1953, although the its conclusion has not yet been officially declared despite military agreements made in 2018. During this war, America led a UN coalition force, which militarily supported South Korea.
Nowadays, South Korea has one of the world's fastest growing economies. It is Asia's third largest economy and the world's 12th largest, and is considered one of the Four Asian Tigers. South Korea is also considered a high-income country and is a member of the G20.
