How did The Empire of Japan annex Korea?

How did The Empire of Japan annex Korea?
The Japan-Korea Treaty was a significant point in relations between the two nations and was signed back in 1876 as Korea began its pull away from China. The goal was to grant Japan new trade rights with Korea, opening three ports and also giving Japanese nationals in Korea extraterritorial rights. From that point on, slowly, Japan gained more and more control over Korea until the full annexation

    Having a slave class to do menial tasks takes a lot of the pressure off that machines do now. While they didn't industrialize that doesn't mean the Romans had no concept of large scale production they simply would have had a large number of smiths employed by the empire

    "Japanese annexation of Korea" "South Korea was built by the Japanese" recorded by Taiwanese historian and philosopher Kō Bun'yū Huang Fumio (83 years old) The happiest 20th century Korean people in the world due to Japan's overprotection The essence of what is called "Korean merger" was not the Korean colonization of Japan, but the merger of Japan and South Korea. Postwar Koreans often emphasized the Japanese emperor's colonial plunder, and Japanese tend to think that Korea had a harsher rule than Taiwan, but the opposite is true. In Korea, land tax is cheaper than in Taiwan, rice production is also supported by a negative spread system, the management of underground resources is supported by the subsidy from the central government, and the annual expenditure is supported by the central compensation of 15 to 20% on average. Capital investment was also larger in Korea than in Taiwan. As a result, it transformed into a beautiful modern city, such as Seoul, which was said to be the dirtiest city in the world full of manure until the beginning of the 20th century, and the population of the peninsula doubled. In an ordinary modern nation, it is the duty and common sense of the people to cover the defense costs, but it was a privileged special treatment that even one yen was not collected from Koreans. In human history in the 20th century, no one has been overprotected and lived as happily as the Koreans at that time. The damage caused by famine, plague, war, and revolution is very small, except for the Korean war between our own people. In this way, South Korea is a nation that has grown while relying on Japan. The success of postwar nation-building and the achievement of OECD accession are due to the reliance on the transfer of capital and technology between Japan and the United States. The financial crisis of 1997, which is said to be the "second national humiliation," has managed to maintain its international status by being under the control of the IMF. It has been a custom of this country since the modern era that this application is totally dependent on Japan. However, Koreans never want to admit this because of their national pride. Therefore, even if the troops and recruitments were made during the Japanese era, they all want to claim that they were "forced entrainment" against their will. From the 19th century to the beginning of the 20th century, South Korea was the most unsanitary living environment in the world, with manure flooding the city in every region, from rural areas to the city of Seoul. Today's Korean generation is always proud of Korea's Sanshi Suimei, and Koreans boast that it is a country with clean water, which is rare in the world where you can drink raw water wherever you go. However, foreigners who saw Korea before the Japanese Emperor era are nakedly recording the actual situation at that time. For example, in "Korean Circumstances" by Father Claude Charles Dallet, a French missionary, he wrote about various "water and soil diseases" such as "water is extremely bad to drink" and premature illness caused by water. It was in 1909 that the control of the Japanese charity clinic was promulgated in such Korea. The modern medical system was introduced in earnest from the time of the Governor's Office of Korea, which was ruled by Japan. The Korean Clinic established by the Governor's Office eventually became a hospital attached to Keijo Imperial University (currently Seoul National University) and became a center of modern medicine and medical development on the Korean Peninsula. Since 1910, each port-opening city and border city have been implementing strict epidemics and quarantine, and have been working to prevent the invasion of epidemics. Outbreaks such as cholera, natural pox, and pesto were eradicated around 1918-1920, after which infant deaths almost disappeared. After that, local medical systems were established in various places such as Qingzhou and Jinzhou, and all efforts were made to train doctors and prevent epidemics. In addition, a "Saiseikai Hospital" was built in Korea with a gift of 1.5 million yen, and along with the abolition of the slavery system that had existed since the Li Dynasty, medical facilities were improved from each road to the municipalities. As human beings, the slaves, who were slaves, can now benefit from modern medical care. In the 30s, the establishment and widespread use of the modern medical system was able to completely stop the plague from mainland China. Starvation due to famine and the Chinese continent, which had caused a large number of deaths due to the plague, felt as if they were heaven and hell. In particular, Hansen's disease, which had been rampant from India and China to Korea, was thoroughly dealt with, and the "Okashima Rehabilitation Garden", which can accommodate more than 6,000 people, became world-famous. "36 years of the Japanese Emperor" contributed greatly to the conservation of life on the Korean Peninsula and the prosperity of the Korean people by improving hygiene, environment and water quality, and eradicating epidemics through none other than modern medicine.

    Professor Choe Ki-ho of Kaya University I was born in 1923. For the sake of South Korea and for Japan, I want to tell you the truth. Telling the truth could threaten my life in South Korea, but I feel it is my duty to do so. I lived in Seoul during the annexation period. I also spent some time in Tokyo. In those days, the Koreans were more proud of being Japanese than the Japanese themselves. At movie theaters in Korea, they showed the war news before the movies were played. For example, if they showed the image of Japan's victory in New Guinea, the Koreans shouted banzai and gave a round of applause. I loved movies, so I went to movie theaters in Japan as well, and the Japanese were calmer. Nowadays the Koreans who speak positively of the Japanese are criticized as "Chinilpa (pro-Japanese)" but in those days over 90% of Koreans were pro-Japanese. After the war, successive South Korean governments have brainwashed the youths with anti-Japanese education in order to incite hatred towards the Japanese. Koreans in the street of Seoul celebrating Japan's advance in China (1941) 90% of history education in South Korea is distorted. In South Korean classrooms, our teachers don't teach how corrupt the Joseon Dynasty was in the 19th century, and they make their students believe that the Koreans could have gained independence without Japan's help. By becoming part of Japan in 1910, education, healthcare, industry and infrastructure in Korea improved dramatically. The foundation of becoming a modern state was built during the annexation period. Yet we teach in our classrooms that Japan's annexation set back Korea's progress. Population and average life span of Koreans doubled under the Japanese The Joseon Dynasty ruined Korean industry, and the Korean thinkers who advocated reforms were brutally executed. The Koreans today shout "brutal Japanese!" "sex slaves!" but the Korean ruling class (Yangban) in the 19th century was far more brutal. The final years of the Joseon Dynasty were so hellish that they would only compare with the present day North Korea. ◇  ◇  ◇  ◇  ◇  ◇   "I received my education under the Japanese, and I wasn't discriminated at all" goo.gl/16ufMt Former South Korean Air Force Captain Choe Sam-yeon Colonies have existed since the 15th century.

Half of Japanese taxpayers' money was spent on colonial infrastructure so that the quality of life would be equivalent. During the Joseon period, the overwhelming majority of the Koreans could not attend schools. When the Japanese came in, they built many schools. So I was able to receive my education, and the quality of education was just as good in Korea as in Japan. The Koreans and the Taiwanese were able to attend military academy of Japan as well. Other colonizers didn't allow people from their colonies to attend military academy of the colonizers. In other words, the Japanese didn't discriminate in education either. In other colonies the discrimination was rightful. The Japanese rule in Korea and Taiwan should not have been called colonization. It was annexation, similar to what England did with Scotland. The Koreans like me who experienced Japan's annexation reminisce it, but unfortunately the younger Koreans who received anti-Japanese brainwashing in schools despise it.

    Korea Many Koreans have accused Japan of receiving much terrible treatment to Korean people by an old Japanese government during the war. Of course there are few war experienced people. Many Koreans who have claimed have not had any experience of the Pacific War. In other words they have only learned war history of modern Korea which started the year of 1900. However, their complaints about war issues are related to Japan were wrong. They claimed that Japan dominated Korean people during the war, and so on. However, these stories have no conclusive evidence. Are their criticisms true? If they want to get right information about the war history between Japan and Korea, they can get many facts from internet or books these days. Nevertheless, they have been maintaining and attacking Japan’s old acts in Korea since the World War II finished. This is very strange.In fact their stories are wrong for three reasons. I want to give you the three facts about history between Korea and Japan.First of all I would like to explain about the Japan-Korea Annexation. The Iljinhoe (一進会) was a nation-wide pro-Japan organization in Korea. The party thought that Korea could not develop capitalism on its own, and demanded a merger with the Japanese Empire. Meanwhile, Japan needed to defend itself from Western countries such as Soviet, so the newly modernized Meiji government of Japan turned to Korea because various Western countries actively competed for influence, trade, goods, and territory in East Asia in the late 19th and early 20th century. On 22 August 1910, Japan effectively annexed Korea with the Japan-Korea Annexation Treaty signed by Lee Wan-Yong, Prime Minister of Korea. However, Korean people said Japan occupied Korea forcedly. Secondly, Korea has claimed that they suffered by old Japanese government, but Japan established the infrastructure actually. In fact Korea was a very poor country in the early of the 19th century; so many foreigners said Korea was entirely unsanitary. The Japanese government created transportation infrastructure and official buildings such as schools, hospitals and post offices, and so on. Koreans extended their lives span in deed. However, Koreans have not learned the fact in schools under the political reasons. Finally, I want to show you the data of participation of military and some facts after the war finished. Japan and Korea started only a volunteer military system in 1938. KoreaKorean military participation ★1939 Applicants 12,348 Accepted 613 ★1940 Applicants 84,443 Accepted 3,060 ★1941 Applicants 144,743 Accepted 3,208 ★1942 Applicants 254,273 Accepted 4,077 ★1943 Applicants 303,294 Accepted 6,300 洪思翊, Hong Sa Ik, he was Korean, who was Lieutenant General of Japanese Imperial Army. 朴春琴, Park Chun-geum was a member of House of Representatives in Tokyo. A seat in the House of Representatives was an elective post. He was elected twice from his district in Tokyo. Many Korean men joined the Japanese Imperial Army, and some Korean experts supported their countries because Korea was the same country as Japan, but they did not pay any postwar reparations to Asian countries. Not only this, Korea received Japan’s oversea assets which were in Korea and 8 hundred million dollars as war reparations from Japan in 1965. In conclusion, Koreans accusations are completely incorrect for these reasons. Therefore what they say is an absurd story.

    No, this is such crap. Korea begged Japan to annex and modernize it which Japan did and even paid for it. But Korea changed its mind after the War and started fabricating its history as it is so ashamed of the fact that Korea was a dependency of Chinese dynasties for almost a thousand years since the Yuan Dynasty (which they hide from its nations); it was Japan that gave Korea independence in Shimonoseki Treaty; Koreans failed to modernize the country and begged Japan to annex and modernize. There was no war; it was a signed deal; it was an internationally accepted one. Every single year of annexation, it was a net cash outflow for Japan, and by far. It was such a huge burden to modernize another country. The following is what the US President Hoover who visited Korea before and after the annexation said: When I visited Korea in 1909, to advise some Japanese industrialists on engineering matters. The Korean people at that time were in the most disheartening condition that I had witnessed in any part of Asia. There was little law and order. The masses were underfed, under-clothed, under-housed, and under-equipped. There was no sanitation, and filth and squalor enveloped the whole countryside. The roads were hardly passable, and there were scant communication or educational facilities. Scarcely a tree broke the dismal landscape. Thieves and bandits seemed to be unrestrained. During the thirty-five years of Japanese control, the life of the Korean people was revolutionized. Beginning with this most unpromising human material, the Japanese established order, built harbors, railways, roads and communications, good public buildings, and greatly improved housing. They established sanitation and taught better methods of agriculture. They built immense fertilizer factories in North Korea which lifted the people’s food suppliers to reasonable levels. They reforested the bleak hills. They established a general system of education and development skills. Even dusty, drab and filthy clothing had been replaced with clean bright colors.

    Korea proceeded to annexation with Japan because their economy and the entire system was failing. Japan wanted the peninsula for military security reasons. It was a mutual agreement which was beneficial on both sides. It was the Koreans who murdered Ito Hirobumi who was against Korean annexation. After that, Japanese Military was free to annex Korea just one year later. Koreans loved it as The Chosun Dynasty and its aristocrats were an usurper regime and the worst corrupt despotism parasitic Vampires you could get. Koreans tried to get rid of them by siding with the invading Japanese during the Imjin wars 250 years ago. It faiiled due to CHinese intervention then. It succeeded 250 years later. It was Japan which first gave them rights as human beings for the first time in 500 years of slavery. The population of Koreans doubled during the 35 years of annexation. They supported the Japanese cause in various ways, including the world war. They gladly threw themselves against the Americans with the Kamikaze. There's a reason why the Yasukuni Shrine holds tens of thousands of Korean souls. In the end, it was Western Imperialism that made Japan break out of its 250 years of isolation and forced the Chines, Koreans, Japanese to all declared themselves as Empires and went on war with each other. It's not like today where everyone gets a seat at the UN with diplomatic rights. You either become an Empire or a Colony. Let's also not forget that once liberated from Japan, South Korea became a dictatorship. Totalitarian governments always want its people to hate and blame someone else. SOmeone outside of their group. The Korean elites experienced their peasants siding with the Japanese twice to throw them off.

'Imperialist' always say that annexation were came from indigenous efforts in colony, and they just accepted it, for mutual benefit. It’s totally bullshit. I know in history “some” people are willing to throw their freedom to get safety or to get rich. But, generally speaking, People don’t. people didn’t want being annexed, people don't want to being colonized, they don't want to be slave. Most cases, they choose freedom. If it was what Joseon people want, why they keep resist to be liberate? Why they kept their identity as Korean, resist to became Japanese. One day, My grandfather had a drink with his friend someday. They met in here when my grandfather came back to home. He told me that he was in army two times. One time in Japanese Imperial army in 1940s, and the other time in Korean army in 1950s. He sang for me some Japanese military songs. And he told me a story how he got caught by Japanese and how they brutally forced him to enlist army. He was lucky one though. Because He survived. Others didn’t. When Japan was defeated, They killed conscripted Korean soldiers to conceal their story. If anyone have a thought that “Koreans want to that too”, then I can tell you about him. Congratulation. He still hates Japanese. He still mad at every single moment while in Japanese occupation.

They lock you up all day and night for months. THe Dormitories are all cramped in and horrible. They don't even pay you minimum wage. Awesome. Right after the Japanes leave, It's back to the CHosun! Your true cultural nature that was 'oppressed.' It is in The CHosun dynasty's own records. During the records of the Imjin war period, they go on about how half the Japanese army is consisted of Korean peasants all throughout the war. During the siege of Pyeongyang, the Chinese general had to slay so many Koreans who fought back together with the samurai to defend their homeland against the Ming Chosun coalition. It wasn't like that during the former dynasties of the Peninsula. Silla has a bunch of histories of dominating the sea and sacking Kyushu. Goryeo was overwhelmed by the Japanese raiders from the sea and fought hard to drive them off. Finally they could win by developing gunpowder cannons themselves and putting them on ships for the first time in Asia. There's a reason why your own people refuse to fight, runaway and join the enemy instead. Nationalism does not justify parasitism. At the Battle of Yongin 80000 Koreans were crushed by 1500 Japanese troops. How does that make sense? Brainwashing can drag all the Koreans to battlefield but it can't make them fight. Just as very few would fight for South Korea today. Korean slave army is gonna get slaughtered again. Which is why I know that your 'Japanese army forced conscription' is bullshit. YOu don't know a thing about warfare. You can drag people to the battlefield but you cannot make them fight. They'll just refuse to fight, runaway and join the enemy instead.

The only difference is that Japan is not an ancient country, as a modern nation behaves uncivilized way like an ancient country. I always thought one thing was very strange. Japanese are proud that their country is very developed country. At the same time, they used to defend their barbaric behavior with ancient one. In their history, They made a stealthy attack but did not declare war in any single time, against China, Russia and the United States, they never did. In fact, they never act like a civilized country in any war in their 19-20th century. They slaughtered Chinese, Koreans, and other people every place they invade, and even Americans and British prisoners. Sometimes they killed their prisoners and ate their meat just for fun! What a modernized country. Right?. Everyone who knows history, they all hate Japan. Because of that Japanese government deliberately wish to forget about history, and make other people learn their brutal history, and covers up and fabricates history waht they still denied.

    No, this is such crap. Korea begged Japan to annex and modernize it which Japan did and even paid for it. But Korea changed its mind after the War and started fabricating its history as it is so ashamed of the fact that Korea was a dependency of Chinese dynasties for almost a thousand years since the Yuan Dynasty (which they hide from its nations); it was Japan that gave Korea independence in Shimonoseki Treaty; Koreans failed to modernize the country and begged Japan to annex and modernize. There was no war; it was a signed deal; it was an internationally accepted one. Every single year of annexation, it was a net cash outflow for Japan, and by far. It was such a huge burden to modernize another country. The following is what the US President Hoover who visited Korea before and after the annexation said: When I visited Korea in 1909, to advise some Japanese industrialists on engineering matters. The Korean people at that time were in the most disheartening condition that I had witnessed in any part of Asia. There was little law and order. The masses were underfed, under-clothed, under-housed, and under-equipped. There was no sanitation, and filth and squalor enveloped the whole countryside. The roads were hardly passable, and there were scant communication or educational facilities. Scarcely a tree broke the dismal landscape. Thieves and bandits seemed to be unrestrained. During the thirty-five years of Japanese control, the life of the Korean people was revolutionized. Beginning with this most unpromising human material, the Japanese established order, built harbors, railways, roads and communications, good public buildings, and greatly improved housing. They established sanitation and taught better methods of agriculture. They built immense fertilizer factories in North Korea which lifted the people’s food suppliers to reasonable levels. They reforested the bleak hills. They established a general system of education and development skills. Even dusty, drab and filthy clothing had been replaced with clean bright colors.

There was no war; it was a signed deal; it was an internationally accepted one. Every single year of annexation, it was a net cash outflow for Japan, and by far. It was such a huge burden to modernize another country. The following is what the US President Hoover who visited Korea before and after the annexation said: When I visited Korea in 1909, to advise some Japanese industrialists on engineering matters. The Korean people at that time were in the most disheartening condition that I had witnessed in any part of Asia. There was little law and order. The masses were underfed, under-clothed, under-housed, and under-equipped. There was no sanitation, and filth and squalor enveloped the whole countryside. The roads were hardly passable, and there were scant communication or educational facilities. Scarcely a tree broke the dismal landscape. Thieves and bandits seemed to be unrestrained. During the thirty-five years of Japanese control, the life of the Korean people was revolutionized. Beginning with this most unpromising human material, the Japanese established order, built harbors, railways, roads and communications, good public buildings, and greatly improved housing. They established sanitation and taught better methods of agriculture. They built immense fertilizer factories in North Korea which lifted the people’s food suppliers to reasonable levels. They reforested the bleak hills. They established a general system of education and development skills. Even dusty, drab and filthy clothing had been replaced with clean bright colors.

    A friend of mine is married to a Korean woman and has a funny story. Once, he was introducing his wife to some friends for the first time at a Japanese restaurant. None of his friends knew before hand that she was Korean, just that she's "Asian" from her husband. Being where they were, they deducted like most people would that she was Japanese. So, in their attempt in being polite and friendly, they brought up how fascinating Japanese culture is. My friends wife played along until they brought up cultural comparisons between Koreans and Japanese. His friends felt so embarressed right after the wife revelead herself.

    Professor Choe Ki-ho of Kaya University I was born in 1923. For the sake of South Korea and for Japan, I want to tell you the truth. Telling the truth could threaten my life in South Korea, but I feel it is my duty to do so. I lived in Seoul during the annexation period. I also spent some time in Tokyo. In those days, the Koreans were more proud of being Japanese than the Japanese themselves. At movie theaters in Korea, they showed the war news before the movies were played. For example, if they showed the image of Japan's victory in New Guinea, the Koreans shouted banzai and gave a round of applause. I loved movies, so I went to movie theaters in Japan as well, and the Japanese were calmer. Nowadays the Koreans who speak positively of the Japanese are criticized as "Chinilpa (pro-Japanese)" but in those days over 90% of Koreans were pro-Japanese. After the war, successive South Korean governments have brainwashed the youths with anti-Japanese education in order to incite hatred towards the Japanese. Koreans in the street of Seoul celebrating Japan's advance in China (1941) 90% of history education in South Korea is distorted. In South Korean classrooms, our teachers don't teach how corrupt the Joseon Dynasty was in the 19th century, and they make their students believe that the Koreans could have gained independence without Japan's help. By becoming part of Japan in 1910, education, healthcare, industry and infrastructure in Korea improved dramatically. The foundation of becoming a modern state was built during the annexation period. Yet we teach in our classrooms that Japan's annexation set back Korea's progress. Population and average life span of Koreans doubled under the Japanese The Joseon Dynasty ruined Korean industry, and the Korean thinkers who advocated reforms were brutally executed. The Koreans today shout "brutal Japanese!" "sex slaves!" but the Korean ruling class (Yangban) in the 19th century was far more brutal. The final years of the Joseon Dynasty were so hellish that they would only compare with the present day North Korea. ◇  ◇  ◇  ◇  ◇  ◇   "I received my education under the Japanese, and I wasn't discriminated at all" goo.gl/16ufMt Former South Korean Air Force Captain Choe Sam-yeon Colonies have existed since the 15th century. Modern history of mankind can be called the colonial age. We encounter former colonies wherever we go in the world. In Africa people are still in poverty long after the end of being colonized. Which former colonies have achieved economic success? South Korea and Taiwan. Both of them were former Japanese colonies. India was one of the British colonies, but the British didn't spend money on infrastructure, and the Indian economy didn't develop for a long time. It has finally started to grow, but its GDP per capita and literacy are still very low. Japan spent a lot of money on infrastructure both in South Korea and in Taiwan. This was very unique. Other colonizers squeezed natural resources from their colonies but didn't invest in them. Half of Japanese taxpayers' money was spent on colonial infrastructure so that the quality of life would be equivalent. During the Joseon period, the overwhelming majority of the Koreans could not attend schools. When the Japanese came in, they built many schools. So I was able to receive my education, and the quality of education was just as good in Korea as in Japan. The Koreans and the Taiwanese were able to attend military academy of Japan as well. Other colonizers didn't allow people from their colonies to attend military academy of the colonizers. In other words, the Japanese didn't discriminate in education either. In other colonies the discrimination was rightful. The Japanese rule in Korea and Taiwan should not have been called colonization. It was annexation, similar to what England did with Scotland. The Koreans like me who experienced Japan's annexation reminisce it, but unfortunately the younger Koreans who received anti-Japanese brainwashing in schools despise it.

Many may wonder why there was no active military resistance from the Korean Empire government. because, at the beginning of the Russo-Japanese War, small number of Japanese troops secretly infiltrated Seoul and staged a surprise coup and captured the emperor. Therefore, the Korean army was unable to fight back. After that, the emperors had to be locked up in the palace. History would have been different if Japan's coup had failed. Of course, after Japan-Korea Treaty of 1905, there was a decade of strong resistance from militias across the country. thank you for this video

    this is also a lie The emperor fled to the Russian embassy. Besides, the Korean Empire had a Korean government. The Korean people hated the rule of the ruling class during the Joseon Dynasty. The 3.1 movement was also made by people of this ruling class, along with Christian missionaries, to intimidate the people. The threatening letters are still there. This is the historical fact. That's why only the agitator was punished after the riot. Except for the vicious people who have committed murder... In South Korea, such records are properly preserved, but the government hides the history and teaches it to the world.

    "The New Korea" by Professor Alleyne Ireland The state of 19th century Korea (Joseon Dynasty 조선왕조 李氏朝鮮) was very similar to that of present day North Korea. The majority of the population were starving and were enslaved by the royal court and bureaucrats called Yangban (양반 両班) who were supported by Qing Dynasty China. (Just like Kim Jong-un and his henchmen rule North Korea with aid from China today) When Japan defeated China in Sino-Japanese war (1894-95), the court and bureaucrats lost their backing. Soon Korea fell into total chaos. To avoid the Russian invasion, Korea chose to become part of Japan in 1910. This move was welcomed by the majority of the Koreans (former slaves who enjoyed freedom and better lives under new administration) but was resented by Yangban who lost their privilege to enslave people. (Yangban would soon launch an independence movement) Professor Alleyne Ireland of University of Chicago was the leading expert on colonial administration in Asia. He gained deep knowledge of Japan's annexation of Korea from his visit there in 1922. The following are excerpts from his book "The New Korea" published in 1926. ----- My opinion of Japanese administration in Korea has been derived from the consideration of what I saw in the country, what I have read about it in official and in unofficial publications, and from discussions with persons (Japanese, Korean and foreign) who were living in the Peninsula at the time of my visit. It is true that at the time Japan annexed Korea in 1910, the actual conditions of life in the Peninsula were extremely bad. This was not due to any lack of inherent intelligence and ability in the Korean race, but to the stupidity and corruption which had characterized the government of the Korean dynasty, and to the existence of a royal court which maintained a system of licensed cruelty and corruption throughout Korea. Such was the misrule under which the Koreans had suffered for generation after generation that all incentive to industry and social progress had been destroyed because none of the common people had been allowed to enjoy the fruits of their own efforts. From 1910 to 1919 Japanese rule in Korea, though it accomplished much good for the people, bore the stamp of a military stiffness which aroused a great deal of resentment. The New Korea of which I write is the Korea which has developed under the wise and sympathetic guidance of Governor-General Saito. At the time of my own visit to Korea in 1922, the Governor-General had nearly completed three years of his tenure in the office. The following is the list of measures Governor-General Saito introduced upon his arrival in 1919. 1. Non-discrimination between Japanese and Korean officials. 2. Simplification of laws and regulations. 3. Prompt transaction of state business. 4. Decentralization policy. 5. Improvement in local organization. 6. Respect for native culture and customs. 7. Freedom of speech, meeting and press. 8. Spread of education and development of industry. 9. Re-organization of the police system. 10. Enlargement of medical and sanitary agencies. 11. Guidance of the people. 12. Advancement of men of talent. 13. Friendly feeling between Japanese and Koreans. The general consensus of opinion in Korea in 1922 was that Governor-General Saito had been animated by a sincere desire to rule Korea through a just and tolerant administration, that he had accomplished notable reforms, that in the matter of education he had ministered very generously to the cultural ambitions of the people, and that in regard to their political ambitions he had shown himself eager to foster local self-government and to infuse a spirit of friendliness and cooperation into the personal relations of the Japanese and Koreans. Discussing Korean affairs with a good many people (Korean, Japanese and foreign) I found almost unanimous agreement on two points: one, that native sentiment had shown a continuing tendency to become less anti-Japanese in recent years; the other, that the remarkable increase in the country's prosperity had been accompanied by a striking improvement in the living conditions of the Korean people at large. Writing now, four years after the date of my visit, and having in mind the most recent accounts of the state of Korea, I can express my conviction that there has occurred a steady and accelerating improvement in the general conditions of the country, in the administrative organization and personnel, and in the temper of the intercourse between the Koreans and the Japanese ◇  ◇  ◇  ◇  ◇  ◇  ◇  ◇  ◇  ◇ Professor Atul Kohli of Princeton University confirmed Alleyne Ireland's conviction with the following data in his 2004 book "State-Directed Development": "The average life span of the Koreans doubled from 23 years in 1910 to 45 years in 1945, and the population doubled from just over 12 million in 1910 to over 25 million in 1945 due to the institution of modern healthcare under the Japanese. Economic output in terms of agriculture, fishery, forestry and industry increased tenfold from 1910 to 1945. The economic development model the Japanese instituted played the crucial role in Korean economic development, a model that was maintained by the Koreans in the post-World War II era."

So I was able to receive my education, and the quality of education was just as good in Korea as in Japan. The Koreans and the Taiwanese were able to attend military academy of Japan as well. Other colonizers didn't allow people from their colonies to attend military academy of the colonizers. In other words, the Japanese didn't discriminate in education either. In other colonies the discrimination was rightful. The Japanese rule in Korea and Taiwan should not have been called colonization. It was annexation, similar to what England did with Scotland. The Koreans like me who experienced Japan's annexation reminisce it, but unfortunately the younger Koreans who received anti-Japanese brainwashing in schools despise it.

    Korean language and history was taught in the schools build by Japanese government. You can tell from the text books used in the schools during Japanese annexation era. No Korean were forced to change their names but permitted to use Japanese names, which you can tell from regulations. Korean population were almost doubled during the annexation and illiteracy rate was increased tremendously. From the modern point of view, taking over sovereignty of other country and people is unacceptable but unfortunately it happened and Japanese government made huge compensation in 1965. On the other hand, forging history and create hatred against others is something stoppable now.

    Japan failed to eradicate illiteracy. In fact, we haven't been able to spread the Korean language properly. This is also acknowledged by Japanese scholars in the Japan-South Korea Joint History Research Project. Second, the name change is forced. Since this was an arbitrary action by the Japanese Government-General of Korea, it was also raised as an issue in the Japanese parliament. Korea's records on this issue at the time are also consistent with this.

    @@hayek218 Korea proceeded to annexation with Japan because their economy and the entire system was failing. Japan wanted the peninsula for military security reasons. It was a mutual agreement which was beneficial on both sides. It was the Koreans who murdered Ito Hirobumi who was against Korean annexation. After that, Japanese Military was free to annex Korea just one year later. Koreans loved it as The Chosun Dynasty and its aristocrats were an usurper regime and the worst corrupt despotism parasitic Vampires you could get. Koreans tried to get rid of them by siding with the invading Japanese during the Imjin wars 250 years ago. It faiiled due to CHinese intervention then. It succeeded 250 years later. It was Japan which first gave them rights as human beings for the first time in 500 years of slavery. The population of Koreans doubled during the 35 years of annexation. They supported the Japanese cause in various ways, including the world war. They gladly threw themselves against the Americans with the Kamikaze. There's a reason why the Yasukuni Shrine holds tens of thousands of Korean souls. In the end, it was Western Imperialism that made Japan break out of its 250 years of isolation and forced the Chines, Koreans, Japanese to all declared themselves as Empires and went on war with each other. It's not like today where everyone gets a seat at the UN with diplomatic rights. You either become an Empire or a Colony. Let's also not forget that once liberated from Japan, South Korea became a dictatorship. Totalitarian governments always want its people to hate and blame someone else. SOmeone outside of their group. The Korean elites experienced their peasants siding with the Japanese twice to throw them off.

    The nuclear bomb theory itself was already created 70 years ago, so it can be researched and manufactured in countries with a certain level of scientific and engineering level and economic capabilities. In the case of Korea, it is widely believed that it will be possible to produce nuclear weapons within two to three months if it does not do so. Since North Korea has been able to build facilities that can detonate nuclear weapons, it is safe to say that there is no country that cannot make nuclear bombs for economic reasons. Apart from theory, the basic structure itself is simple, so in the 80s, a physics undergraduate at Princeton University submitted a method to make an atomic bomb with term paper

    In case you were wondering how the Soviets ended up with an occupation zone in North Korea, here's a gross oversimplification of what happened. After the fall of Nazi Germany, the Soviet Union turned to the Far East, looking to gain a stronger foothold there. What better way to do this than by attacking Japan, the sole remaining Axis Power, while also getting some payback for the humiliating defeat in the Russo-Japanese war? As the first atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima on August 6th, 1945, the Soviets were finishing preparations for a swift conquest of Japanese territories in mainland Asia, with the goal of taking as much territory as they could before the Japanese officially surrendered. The Soviet Army invaded Manchuria on August 9th, 1945, just hours before the atomic bomb on Nagasaki dropped, and progressed into Manchuria faster than the Germans ever had in the beginning of the Second World War. They managed to conquer the entirety of Manchuria and some of northern Korea before the Japanese surrendered in September 2nd, 1945. And so, the Soviet Union was awarded an occupation zone covering Manchuria and North Korea.
