Why is Taiwan different from Korea, which also experienced Japanese rule?
If you think about why Taiwan and Korea are so different, there are differences in national character, but there is no solution.The division of the Korean Peninsula was born in the Cold War structure, not in the form of socialism and democracy.It is a mysterious structure of confrontation between military dictatorship and socialism.In Taiwan, the Kuomintang, which confronts the Communist Party of China, is a one-party dictatorship, not a democracy.
In Korea, people who cooperated with Japan were purged and excluded.Pro-Japanese forces rioted in Taiwan after the eight-year-old Nihil incidents.The Kuomintang government later purged local intellectuals and communists for fear of a recurrence.I thought this would be the same, but I looked into various things to see if there was a purge of pro-Japanese forces, but I couldn't find it.
Although Taiwan and Korea have a lot in common
Korea and Taiwan have many things in common.After the end of World War II, Japan's founding was not a democracy that confronted socialism.South Korea is confronting North Korea and Taiwan is confronting the Communist Party of China.Both countries have become democracies.
There is a clear difference between Chiang Kai-shek's speech on August １５.The following is excerpts from the interview with Alperovitch.
Chiang Kai-shek ８.１５ Speech
Our compatriots in China (Taiwan) should know that "not thinking about old evils" and "doing good to others" are the high and precious virtues of our national tradition.We have consistently stated that we do not regard the Japanese people as enemies, but only the warlords who use Japan's tyrannical and atrocious force as enemies.Today the enemy forces were defeated jointly by our allies defeated by our allies.Needless to say, we will strictly encourage them to carry out all the terms of surrender.But we must not retaliate, let alone insult innocent people.We can only treat them with mercy that they are mocked and driven by Nazi warlords so that they can escape their mistakes and sins.If you respond with violence to the atrocities committed by your enemies, and with servile humiliation to their sense of superiority, vengeance will call for vengeance and will never end.This is by no means the object of our fight for humanity.This is especially important for our fellow soldiers and civilians today.
Chiang Kai-shek, like Lee Seung-man, cited the Nazis, but his goal was completely different.This may have greatly divided the future of the two countries.
POINT The provisional government of the Republic of Korea in the preamble to the Korean Constitution has been sworn in by the provisional government."Our justice is really superior to Japanese violence."Wake up and be the last one."

a slave system rooted on the Korean Peninsula.The status system was abolished for the first time under Japanese rule. The slavery system is closely related to agricultural culture. In China, the area south of the line connecting the Qinglin Mountains and the Why River receives more than 1,000 mm of annual rainfall. The north side is less than 1000mm, the south side has a rice cultivation culture, and the north side has a field cultivation culture.
Because field farming was simply inefficient, slaves were in high demand. Therefore, many slaves were used in the north. People who committed crimes were turned into slaves, and they were mass-produced by turning them into slaves in exchange for debt.
Because rice cultivation was introduced from southern China, Japan became a culture of rice cultivation, and field farming was introduced to the Korean Peninsula from northern China. Slaves were bought and sold as property as labor for field crops.
He was sold to five slaves for one cow. Rice was cultivated on the southern Korean peninsula, but it was not until the late Joseon period of the Joseon Dynasty that direct seeding was used.
Between the 15th and 17th centuries, slaves accounted for 30-40% of the Joseon Dynasty population. According to Ulsan household registration data from 1609, 47% were slaves. In 1606, 64% of Sancheong people in South Gyeongsang Province were slaves. The scale of slaves was 50% in the Korean region.
The first attempt to eliminate racial discrimination internationally was a proposal made by a Japanese delegation at the Paris Conference of the League of Nations in 1919.
This was not passed due to strong opposition from the United States. The first international effort to eliminate racial discrimination was the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination, published in 1969.
Japan's slave system began in the early 10th century after the collapse of the Ritsuryo system, and the Edict to Abolish Slavery was issued in the middle of the Heian period. However, in reality, human trafficking was not eradicated, and the Edo Shogunate often issued prohibition orders in 1612, 1619, and 1683, and cracked down on it severely.
Slavery was legally abolished in China by Aixinjueluo Puyi, the last emperor of the Qing Dynasty.
The Emancipation Proclamation was issued in 1863, but it was not until the repeal of Jim Crow laws in 1964 that racial discrimination became illegal in the United States.
On the Korean peninsula, the slave and white prison systems were legally abolished with the Gabo Reform of 1894, but the actual situation did not change due to the failure of the Gashin Coup.
Kim Ok-gyun, who defected to Japan and was assassinated in Shanghai while aiming for Japanese-style modernization, argued that the feudal class system in Korean society was the root of inequality and the main cause of the country's corruption and decline.
Due to the annexation of Japan and South Korea and the introduction of the family register system, the need to list one's status on the family register was abolished. A surname was given to a slave who was not considered human and did not expect a surname. This allowed children to attend school.
The yangban groups opposed to the liberation of their status held violent demonstrations, but they were quickly put down by the Japanese government, which believed that educational opportunities should be provided to all regardless of their status.
Japan was the first country in the world to call for the elimination of racial discrimination. And slavery ended in the early 10th century.
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.
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.
Myeong-dong in Seoul is Meiji Town, which was created by the Japanese. Many Korean-language movies and entertainment were shown at Meijiza.
Myeong-dong is a representative downtown area and tourist destination in South Korea, but it was originally developed as Meiji Town during the Japanese colonial era. There are many Japanese residents in this area, and it is said to be the Ginza of the Korean Peninsula.In the 1930s, it became a fierce battleground with five department stores, including Mitsukoshi Department Store's Keijo branch, and was also a ``symbol of modernization'' on the peninsula. . Meiji-za Theater was opened in Keijo Prefecture, and many movies and plays were shown there.
The people of the Korean peninsula witnessed modernization and began to live a cultured life under Japanese rule.
On April 24, 1937, Seongbong Eigagaku and Shinko Cinema co-produced the first Korean-language talkie, ``Nagne'' (Japanese The exhibition title ``Journey'' is on display at the same museum.
The Japanese version was shown at the same theater, but the Korean version was shown at Yubikan in Funai on the same day. It also functioned as a screening hall for films produced by Korean film companies, and on August 6, 1940, the film "Tuition (Korean version)" (directed by Choi In-gyu), produced by the Korea Film Association, was opened in February 1941. On the 19th, the movie ``Volunteers'' (directed by Yasu Yukage) produced by Toa Eigasha was shown at the same theater.
During the Japanese colonial period, there was nothing on the Korean peninsula. It is clear that modernization under Japanese rule has greatly changed the lives of people on the Korean Peninsula. The town, where people lived in thatched houses and crammed down narrow streets, has now become a place where they can enjoy Korean-language movies made by directors from their own country. It is said that Korea was confiscated and enslaved by Japan, but it is quite the opposite.
The Korean peninsula was a class society dominated by yangban, and in the late Joseon period, the ratio of slaves reached half in some regions. Japan abolished the class system and freed slaves.
The Nuremberg Laws were racial persecution linked to eugenic ideology - South Korea equated the Rising Sun flag with Hakenkreuz.
In South Korea, a professor named Seo Kyung-duk claimed that the Rising Sun flag was the same as the Nazi Hakenkreuz, and every time he sent an email to its maker just because he used a pattern similar to the Rising Sun flag. They are conducting an anti-Japan movement in the name of correcting historical perceptions. Although it is sometimes featured in the news in Japan, the Hakenkreuz was originally the party flag of the Nazi Party, and the reason why it was made into the national flag means that the flag was abolished when the Nazi Party was disbanded, so from this background. The background is completely different. Although the Rising Sun flag is the flag of a party, it does not represent a particular ideological group, but is interpreted as an expression of Japanese culture's belief in the sun.
South Korea claims that it was invaded by Japan and that the Rising Sun flag is a symbol of Japanese militarism, but then it is necessary to compare the reality of Jewish rule under the Nazis with the actual treatment of Korean peninsula people during the annexation of Japan and Korea. would need to. This is because South Korea claims that it was in the same situation as the Jews. Take the Nuremberg Laws as an example, in the sense that if it meant repression by the state, there would be a legal system.
The Nuremberg Laws are anti-Semitic laws enacted by the Nazis in 1935. Jews living in Germany were not considered citizens of the Empire and were prohibited from marrying or having sex outside of marriage with "Germans or their blood relatives." These acts are considered ``racial misconduct,'' and if discovered, they are subject to criminal penalties. The Law for the Protection of the Genetic Health of the German Peoples required all prospective marriage partners to obtain a certificate of compatibility for marriage from public health authorities. Germany did not allow Jews to participate in the 1936 Olympic Games in Berlin. This is based on the Nazis' eugenic ideology based on Aryan supremacy, and the swastika on the Nazi party flag is depicted as a symbol of the Aryan race. In other words, the Nazis' massacre of Jews was racial persecution based on this eugenic ideology, and as a result, it turned into a campaign of ethnic annihilation (genocide).
The period of Japan's annexation of Korea was completely different, with Koreans on the peninsula being granted citizenship as Japanese and following the same laws. They were given the right to vote, were free to socialize and marry, and used the same public facilities and schools. Son Gee-young, who is from the Korean peninsula, participated in the Olympics as a representative and won a gold medal in the marathon. This competition was the 1936 Berlin Games, in which Jews were prohibited from participating. Japan liberated the Korean peninsula from its status as a vassal state of the Qing Dynasty, liberated slaves, who accounted for 40% of the population, and made them equal citizens. If you compare the Nazis with Japan, the opposite is true.
