Hirofumi Ito, who made the Korean Peninsula independent
On October ２６, １９０９, Hirobumi Ito was shot dead at Harbin Station. Ito was always against the annexation of the Korean Peninsula. It was Hirobumi Ito who specified the independence of the Korean peninsula in the Sino-Japanese War peace treaty (Article １ of the Treaty of Shimonoseki) and made the Qing government make a promise.
He retired from the position of Prime Minister in １９０１. The Inspector General of Korea also retired in June １９０９, and his last post was that of President of the Privy Council. Although the chairmanship was an honorary position, it was also a position in which one had to maintain neutrality and could not exert any political influence.
The chairman, who was neither the prime minister nor the governor, was assassinated .
MEMO At the time of the assassination, Hirofumi Ito was in an honorary position that prevented him from exerting any political influence.
Meiji ６ political change that stopped the theory of conquering Korea
Going back to １８７３, it was Ito Hirobumi who stopped the Conquest of Korea theory that occurred in Japan . Ito was still young at the time, only ３２ years old. This was said to be the ６th year of the Meiji Coup, and His Majesty the Emperor issued an imperial order to abolish the theory of conquest of Korea, leading to the resignation of half of the councilors, including Takamori Saigo, and approximately ６００ soldiers and bureaucrats. Masu.
At this point, the Satsuma domain, which was a leading figure in the Meiji Restoration, disappeared from the political scene.
The mystery of the Browning gun
What is unclear is what Ahn Jung Geun's purpose was in killing Hirobumi Ito. Although it was a murder, no bullets from the Browning pistol that Ahn was carrying were found in Ito's body.
Ahn Jung-geun testified that he did not know Ito's face, and wrote clearly in his autobiography. Since Hirobumi Ito had retired from important political positions, his murder had no influence or effect on the Japanese government.
MEMO On July ６, １９０９, the Katsura Cabinet decided on the ``Policy and General Guidelines for the Annexation of Korea at an Appropriate Time''. The annexation was decided before Hirobumi Ito's assassination , and Ito resigned as prime minister in １９０１ because his policy of appeasement on the Korean Peninsula was criticized.
Read it together
The mystery of Hirobumi Ito's assassination - Who was behind Ahn Jung-geun? A Browning rifle bullet that was never found. I've heard that Ito Hirobumi's assassination accelerated the annexation of Japan and South Korea, but this is clearly not the case.The reason is that in 1901, Ito resigned as prime minister in charge of the southward movement of Russian interests.A cabinet decision on the annexation was made in June before the assassination.As a result, Ito retired as governor-general in July.Ito's assassination was on Oct. 26, 1909.
Ahn Jung-geun's brown gun bullet has not been found in Ito's body.Thirteen bullets were fired in the incident.The bullet victims are as follows.
Hirobumi Ito 3 shots, Yoshifumi Muroda 5 shots, Yoshikoto Nakamura 2 shots, Jiro Mori Taijirou 1 shot, Toshihiko Kawakami, and Seiojiro Tanaka 1 shot.
The Browning Gun is a seven-shot gun.Two French cavalry guns were found in Ito's body.Ahn Jung-geun sniped from the roof of Halpin Station and the second floor to supplement Ito's strategy when he failed to hit Ito.The trajectory of the autopsy also shows that it passes from the right shoulder to the umbilical cord.If Ahn Jung-geun did not commit the crime impulsively, it would mean who was the mastermind.
For the first reason, the theory of political strife within Japan is unlikely.This is because political settlements and procedures have already been completed in Japan.
The Russian theory is hard to believe from Russia's point of view.Ito's purpose is said to have been to conclude a trade agreement to help Russia regain its rights.I went to Halpin to see Kokothev, and Kokothev welcomed me very much.If the purpose of the war was to start between Japan and Russia, it would be wrong to assassinate Ito, who had no political power.And it is unthinkable to start another war just four years after the Russo-Japanese War ended.
There is a Lenin theory.The argument is as follows.Lenin was collecting Romanov's scandal.Russia's defeat in the Russo-Japanese War was a great opportunity for Lenin.Romanov's blunder resulted in a large number of leaflets being distributed in Russia.The assassination of the Austrian Archduke was accompanied by a bronze gun.The Browning Gun is a gun used by the Russian Army.And Lenin was raking up the Browning Gun.
Commutern's strategy is to incite society without fighting itself.It also includes war between other countries.
The Russo-Japanese War ended in 1905, Ito's assassination in 1909, Sarajevo in 1914, and the Russian Revolution in 1917.The revolution was completed during World War I.
The mastermind of Ito Hirobumi's assassination is a mystery.On the other hand, Ahn Jung-geun and Browning Guns were the only ones left.Ahn Jung-geun does not know Ito's face, so the assassination is likely to end in failure.Besides Ito, there were several other Japanese who accompanied him, as well as Russians.Snipers armed with cavalry guns were preparing to fire as planned.
Was there any need for Ahn Jung-geun to go right in front of Ito?What we can think of is getting Ahn Jung-geun's attention and sniping him from afar.Otherwise, Ahn Jung-geun and Brown Guns will be left at the scene.Ahn Jung-geun must have been utilised.
What exactly did he aim to change on the Korean peninsula? He was tried in Port Arthur and listed １５ reasons for the assassination in his statement of reasons. There are many items that are related to Ito and items that are completely unrelated. His charge is murder.
POINT The Browning gun used by An Si-geun was loaded with ７ shots. At the scene, １３ bullets were found.

A blatant lie that they were forced to change their names - Korean peninsula wanted a Japanese name.
Abolition of family register system and class system
Korean family register
System considering Korean customs
Diffusion of school education system
Remarks by then Minister of State Seisuke Okuno

Manchukuo, which celebrated the harmony of the five tribes
The family register system was introduced during the Japanese colonial period.During the Joseon Dynasty of the Yi Dynasty, even lowly people who did not have a surname and were not recognized as human beings were given surnames and registered as they did not need to write their status. As a result, the class system will be abolished. The details listed in the family register on the Korean Peninsula are as follows.
Koseki adopted in Korea
Regular address
Previous head of household
Relationship with head of household
Father's first and last name
Mother's first and last name
Relationship of head of household
Honkan of the head of the household
Name and last name of head of household
Date of birth of head of household
Mother - The information is the same as the head of the household is the same as the head of the household
Wife - details are the same as for head of household
Relatives such as descendants - Information to be filled out is the same as for the head of household.
Same spouse - Information to be filled out is the same as for the head of family register
7. honkan is a name representing a clan unique to the Korean Peninsula, and this name was maintained. Seven items are missing from Japan's family register. The principle of non-marriage with the same surname was maintained as a system unique to the Korean Peninsula. The son-in-law adoption system was introduced following Japan. Changes were made to allow female heads of household registration. The reason behind the name change is that the Korean Peninsula believed in Confucianism, so the husband and wife had different surnames. This was an attempt to create a Japanese-style surname to represent the family, and it was application system. This is explained in the image posted. Rather than depriving people of their Korean names, they gave surnames to people who didn't have them and abolished the need to list people's identities. And it's not compulsory in the first place.
By abolishing the class system, children were able to attend school without distinction of status. The purpose of introducing the school education system was to create an educational environment for all children. The female enrollment rate in primary education increased from 6.3% in 1911 to 33.1% in 1941.
When Hiromu Nonaka criticized Aso's remark at the Liberal Democratic Party's general meeting (remarks that the name change was requested by Koreans), Seisuke Okuno, who was present at the meeting, said, ``Nonaka-kun, you may not know this because you are young, but Aso...'' What you say is 100% correct.It was difficult to do business if we kept our Korean name.There were many complaints like that, so we decided to change our name to Mr. So.The stamp was given by a Home Affairs bureaucrat. It's me''.
Many ethnic Koreans still live in the Manchurian region of the time, but northern Korea was unsuitable for agriculture and was subject to repeated floods and droughts. As Japan's influence expanded, many Koreans moved to Manchuria in search of farmland. They wanted a Japanese name because they would be bullied by the Manchurians if they said they were Korean. If you are Japanese, you can have a big face.
Manchukuo is a Japanese puppet state whose emperor is Aixinjuoro Puyi, the last emperor of the Qing dynasty. Many Japanese people also immigrated at that time. The founding idea of Manchukuo was harmony of the five tribes of the Japanese, Han Chinese, Koreans, Manchurians, and Mongolians. In other words, these five tribes lived together in this area.
Korean Empire It is strange to call the emperor king, saying that the Chinese emperor is the only emperor, that the Korean Peninsula is a king, and that Japan is king.Japan is not originally a subject of China.The Korean Empire was founded after the Sino-Japanese War. King Gojong said we are no longer a subordinate country to China, so it needs to have the title of emperor.That's why it's the Korean Empire.Although it was under Japan's protection, Japan approved it.The Emperor's Imperial Rescript, which led to the annexation of Japan and South Korea, also states that he is the Emperor of Korea.
The limits of the industrial revolution and modernization on the Korean Peninsula - At the time of the annexation, the Korean Peninsula lacked everything.
In 1805, the Korean Confucian scholar Jeong Dong-yu listed sheep, wheels, and needles as things that did not exist on the Korean peninsula. The wheel refers to the technology that transforms and processes wood, and the needle refers to the precision processing of metal. At that time, there was no technology to make wheels on the Korean peninsula, so cargo was carried on the backs of oxen or carried on the shoulders or heads of people. The needle also needed to have a sharp metal tip and a hole in the back for the thread to pass through, and these items were ordered from China.
Isabel Bird, who traveled to the Korean peninsula four times in three years from 1894 to 1897, said, ``The road to Seoul was so narrow that cattle could not pass each other, and it was like a maze.'' It's just a passage," he wrote. It can be seen from this that there were no vehicles with more than two horizontal wheels.
The industrial revolution produced large machines and produced goods in large quantities. Wood processing technology and metal processing technology are essential to making industrial machinery. Distribution is then needed to transport the products to each region. Vehicles that transport raw materials and products need roads to begin with. In order to communicate work processes to workers and create manufacturing records, workers must be able to read and write. Without a monetary economy, products cannot be manufactured or traded. At that time, the Korean peninsula did not have everything necessary for the industrial revolution.
Japan introduced industrial machinery, cars, roads, school education, etc. to the Korean Peninsula. The class system was abolished, slaves were freed, and a mobile labor force was created. This gave rise to mass production, wide-area distribution, and a monetary economy in which money and goods were exchanged. This is the industrial revolution and modernization that Japan brought to the Korean Peninsula.
Kim Ok - kyun and Lee Joseon Kim Ok-kyun, not Ahn Jung-geun, was the hero if you think about the world at that time.If he had defeated Lee and laid the way for modernization, he would have become a Sun Yat-sen of the Korean Peninsula.Kim Ok-kyun was assassinated in Shanghai, but Queen Min feared that the Joseon dynasty would be overthrown.
The assassination took place on March 28, 1894.The Sino-Japanese War broke out on July 25, 1894, and less than half a year later, Qing, who supported Queen Min, was defeated by Japan and the Korean Peninsula became a protectorate of Japan.The Korean Peninsula failed to shed its former dynastic state.It was impossible to modernize while taking over the old Joseon Dynasty.Far from staying, the world trend has accelerated, and the Joseon dynasty has not changed a bit.
It was Seo Jae-pil, Kim Ok-kyun's brother, who celebrated the independence of his motherland.It has nothing to do with the Joseon Dynasty or the Korean Empire.
The truth about the annexation of Japan and Korea - The Joseon Dynasty was unable to become independent - 15 years from the Sino-Japanese War to the annexation of Japan and Korea.
Learning about the history of a short period makes it clear
King flees less than a year after independence
Need mawashi for the return of Koso
The founding of the Korean Empire and the Russo-Japanese War
Restrict Korean sovereignty
Japan-Korea annexation
The Joseon Dynasty that lacked independence ~ The Korean Empire
If you look at the history of only 15 years from the Treaty of Shimonoseki to the annexation of Japan and Korea, you can clearly see that Japan did not violently take away the independence of the Korean Peninsula. Japan supported #independence on the Korean peninsula and ultimately gave up on it. This is the historical truth.
Treaty of Shimonoseki (April 1895): The Korean peninsula became an independent nation as a result of the peace treaty resulting from the Sino-Japanese War. Shunseimon Incident (November 1895): An incident in which pro-Russian pro-Russian leader Lee Beon-jin plotted to assassinate Prime Minister Kim Hong-ji. Roguan Banseong (February 1896): An incident in which Gojong, the head of state, fled to the Russian legation, fearing for his safety due to the conflict within Korea following the Shunshomon Incident. Less than a year after independence, they renounced their sovereignty.
Komura-Weber Agreement (May 1896): Japan and Russia jointly supervise the internal affairs of Korea, and as a condition for Gojong, who is currently in the Russian legation, to return to the palace, the number of Japanese and Russian troops to be stationed, etc. We have arranged. Yamagata-Lobanov Agreement (June 1896): Guarantee of Korean independence between Japan and Russia, promotion of financial reform in Korea, organization of modern police and military, telegraph An agreement was made to hold the line.
Establishment of the Korean Empire (1897): Gojong was able to return to Gyeongun Palace on the premise of an agreement between Japan and Russia. He changed the country's name to the Korean Empire and called himself Emperor. Although it means being on the same level as Japan and China, Japan approves of this. Earn of the Russo-Japanese War (1904): Russia's interests in the Korean Peninsula continued to expand, and the Russo-Japanese War broke out.
First Japan-Korea Treaty (1904): The Korean government appointed a person recommended by the Japanese government to serve as the Korean government's financial and diplomatic advisor. Second Japan-Korea Treaty (1905): An agreement in which Japan deprived South Korea of its diplomatic rights and established South Korea as a protectorate, including the establishment of a supervisor. The Hague Emissary Incident: (1907): An incident in which Gojong dispatched an emissary to an international conference in The Hague in the Netherlands, but was unable to meet with representatives of any country. The conference recognized Japan's jurisdiction over the Korean Peninsula.
The annexation of Japan and Korea was approved by the cabinet (July 1909): The Katsura Cabinet approved the ``Policy to carry out the annexation of Korea at an appropriate time and outline of facilities for Korea''. Assassination of Hirobumi Ito (October 1909): Hirobumi Ito was assassinated at Harbin Station. Japan-Korea annexation (August 1910): Japan and Korea were annexed by the "Treaty on Annexation of Korea."
To summarize the above trends, Japan fought the Sino-Japanese War and made the Korean Peninsula an independent nation. He even made arrangements for the head of state who had fled to the Russian legation to return to Korea, leading to the establishment of the Korean Empire, which was given the name of an empire on a par with Japan and China.
Even so, Russia's advance southward could not be stopped at all, and the conflict between pro-Russian and pro-Japanese factions in Korea continued. After the Russo-Japanese War, Japan judged that the Korean Peninsula could no longer be independently governed and began to restrict its authority. With the backing of pro-Japanese groups such as Isshinkai, Junshu concluded a treaty of annexation of Japan and Korea.
