It becomes clear if you study the history of a short period of time
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.
King flees less than a year after independence
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 .
Need mawashi for the return of Koso
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.
The founding of the Korean Empire and the Russo-Japanese War
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.
Limit Korean sovereignty
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.
Read it together
The Hague Emissary Incident was tell - all diplomacy - Why was the emissary ignored? Evidence that the world did not recognize Korea, which had given up its sovereignty.
The Korean Empire was founded before the Russo-Japanese War
Japan helped Korea gain independence and eventually stripped Korea of diplomatic rights
The Hague emissary incident is a pathetic diplomatic failure
Main emissary activities
Already surrendered sovereignty before the Hague emissary incident
The southward movement of Russian interests was the cause of the Russo-Japanese War
Kojong made the mistake of causing the head of state to flee and seek asylum in the Russian legation, and the first Russo-Japanese Protocol (Komura-Weber Agreement) and the second Russo-Japanese Protocol (Yamagata-Lobanov Agreement) were concluded, and the premise was He returned to Gyeongun Palace and changed the country's name to the Korean Empire in 1897. Adding the name of an empire to a country's name meant that it was on the same level as Japan and China, and Japan approved of this.
Later, during the Russo-Japanese War that began in 1904, the First Japan-Korea Treaty was concluded, giving Japan the upper hand in the Russo-Japanese War. Under the Second Japan-Korea Treaty concluded in 1905 after the end of the Russo-Japanese War, the Korean Peninsula was stripped of its diplomatic rights.
Although Japan helped establish the Korean Empire on a par with Japan through the Japan-Russia Protocol, Gojong continued to draw in Russian interests. The eventual outbreak of the Russo-Japanese War led to Japan stripping Korea of its diplomatic rights.
The Hague Emissary Incident occurred when Gojong dispatched an emissary to the Hague International Conference in 1907 to appeal for the restoration of diplomatic rights. They were doing the same kind of tell-all diplomacy that is practiced today.
However, Russia, who was supposed to have invited them, betrayed them and was rejected by all the participating countries, and the emissary sent by Gojong was not even able to enter the conference hall. Conversely, Japan's jurisdiction over the Korean Peninsula became internationally recognized.
[Main emissary activities]
He visits Count Nelidov, the chief representative of the Russian Empire, who is the chairman of the conference, but he is refused a meeting.
He visits representatives from the United States, England, France, and Germany, but is refused assistance.
We request a meeting with the Dutch Foreign Minister of the country hosting the conference, but he is refused.
The conference in The Hague, Netherlands recognized Japan's jurisdiction over the Korean Peninsula.
In the first place, in 1896, after the assassination of Queen Min and the Chunshengmun Incident, Go Song, the head of state, fled to the Russian Legation and went into exile (Roguan Transfer). At this point, Korea was no longer recognized by the world as an independent and independent nation.
With the Treaty of Shimonoseki in 1895, Korea renounced its sovereignty less than a year after gaining independence from Qing thanks to Japan.
Even if they attempted to exercise remote control from their exile, they were already under Russian house arrest, and Russia gradually gained control over the Korean Peninsula. Even after Gojong returned to Korea and founded the Korean Empire, Russia continued to gain interests in the Korean Peninsula, which led to the Russo-Japanese War.
The Joseon Dynasty cried out to the Qing Dynasty and triggered the Sino-Japanese War, and was invaded by Russian interests due to the transfer of Rokan, leading to the Russo-Japanese War. The Hague Emissary Incident was a case in which a courier was sent to express his dissatisfaction with having been stripped of his diplomatic rights. Japan then gave up on the independence of the Korean Peninsula.
Japan-Korea annexation
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."
The Joseon Dynasty that lacked independence ~ The Korean Empire
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.

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.
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.
Myeong - dong Art Theater was built during the annexation of Korea and Japan.Many Koreans don't know that the name of the time was Meiji - za.
Myeongdong Art Theater is Meiji-za located in Meiji-cho.Meiji-cho became Myeong-dong, and many movies and plays were released in Meiji-za.On April 24, 1937, the first Korean-language talkie "Nagne" (Korean version) co-directed by Lee Kyu-hwan (Korean version) and Suzuki Shigekichi (Japanese version) was released at the museum.The Japanese version was shown at the museum, but the Korean version was released at the Yumi Museum in the prefecture.It also serves as a movie theater for Korean film companies, and on August 6, 1940, the Korea Film Association (directed by Choi In-kyu) and the Dong-A Film Company (directed by Ahn Yu-young) were released at the theater.
Would slaves watch movies?If they had seen it, They would no longer be a slave.If Japan had been enslaved, why japanese produce a movie for the slaves.Still,the treatment is no longer for a slave.Slaves went to the movies on holidays.Do you have a holiday?It's interesting that there was a Korean film director at that time, which means that he watched movies for many times.Why were slaves able to watch and study movies before they made them?Or did he get a job at a Japanese movie company?
During the Japanese rule, the Korean Peninsula was modernized and I realized that the country was getting richer day by day.
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.
Japan - Korea Treaty of Amity Treating Korea as an Independent Country The attitude of not recognizing the Emperor has not changed since this era.
Although the Japan-Korea Treaty of Amity signed in 1876 has the aspect of being an unequal treaty, it was the first treaty that made Korea an independent country, and served as the catalyst for the opening of the Joseon Dynasty. Also known as the Ganghwa Island Treaty. Although Japan and North Korea had diplomatic relations through Korean envoys during the Edo period, Korea did not receive Emperor Meiji's state letter after the Meiji Restoration.
The reason was that although they had an equal relationship with the Tokugawa, the existence of an emperor who had the Tokugawa as a vassal meant that the Korean dynasty was positioned as a lower rank, and that the emperor was in a relationship with the Tokugawa as a vassal. The reason was that he couldn't admit it. At this point, diplomatic relations between Japan and North Korea were severed.
Korea still calls the Emperor Ni-Ko. Not recognizing the title of Emperor means that nothing has changed in this historical period.
After the Ganghwa Island Incident, an armed conflict between Japan and North Korea that occurred in 1875, Japan demanded an apology and demanded that the Qing Dynasty take responsibility as its suzerain. In response, the Qing Dynasty stated, ``Although Korea is a vassal state, it has a separate ethnicity and a different political form, and the Qing Dynasty is not responsible..'' Based on this, the first clause of the Japan-Korea Treaty of Amity would state, ``Korea is recognized as an independent country and a nation with equal rights with Japan.''
Although they were vassals of the Qing Dynasty, diplomatic relations between the two countries began despite some contradictions as they were independent states. After that, after the Sino-Japanese War broke out in 1894, the Treaty of Shimonoseki was signed in 1895 stating that ``Qing China confirmed that Korea is a completely independent and autonomous country, and that any contribution or contribution from Korea that would damage its independence and independence to Qing China was prohibited.'' ``The liturgy, etc. shall be abolished forever,'' and Korea became an independent country in both name and reality. The person responsible on the Japanese side for concluding this treaty was Hirobumi Ito.
Korea has not been an independent country for hundreds of years. It was Japan that made it an independent country.
