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.

Ahn Jung - geun didn't know Ito' His autobiography shows that Ahn did not know Ito's face.How did you know that Ito Hirobumi, who didn't even know his face, visited Halpin Station at that time on October 26, 1909?
--The last page of Ahn Jung-geun's autobiography--
First, he fired at an old man with a yellow face and a beard.
I don't know Ito's face, so if I mistake him for someone else, it's big blunder, so I fired at the most dignified person.
Syngman Rhee disliked Japan and rewrote history; repeated purges to make the current government a "better government".
After the war, the thing that the South Korean government hated most was the phrase, ``The Japanese era was better.'' In fact, the February 28 Incident occurred in Taiwan, causing pro-Japanese groups to riot, and former President Syngman Rhee must have been alarmed after hearing about the incident. 2.28 Incident occurred in 1947, and the Republic of Korea was founded in 1948. Martial law was imposed in Taiwan for 38 years.
Immediately after the founding of the country, pro-Japanese groups were expelled. Just because they were nostalgic for the Japanese rule, they were treated as political prisoners, like communists, and were arrested and imprisoned. In just two years since the founding of the country, the number of arrests has exceeded the number of people arrested during the 35 years of Japanese rule.
Syngman Rhee, the first president of the Republic of Korea, did not actually know anything about Japanese rule, as he spent most of the time abroad. However, he hated Japan. During the time when Syngman Rhee was in exile in the United States, Joseon was even advertised as an ``ideal oriental nation'' before Japanese rule.
Although Japanese rule had ended in Taiwan, the Kuomintang army led by Chiang Kai-shek arrived there, and their politics were terrible. Even though Japanese rule has ended in South Korea, there is no guarantee that the country will be able to be run successfully.
Since the people who were involved in the management of the country during the Japanese colonial era were expelled one after another as remnants of the Japanese Empire, a group of amateurs with no political experience were left in charge of political administration. In addition, many purges and massacres of communists have been carried out due to concerns that they may collude with North Korea and aim to overthrow the country.
For the Republic of Korea, which was established as a military regime, those who could pose a threat to the management of the country were those who were pro-Japanese and communists. While they were hysterically eliminated, anti-Japanese language was also used to deflect criticism of the government's mismanagement, such as the Bodo League Incident, the Jeju April 3rd Incident, and the National Defense Force Incident. /red#.
Bodo League Incident A massacre that took place at a facility that re-educated communists and their families.
Jeju Island April 3 Incident A massacre was carried out in response to a riot that occurred on Jeju Island in South Korea, which is under the control of the United States Army Headquarters Military Government Agency.
National Defense Force Incident In January 1951, during the Korean War, executives of South Korea's National Defense Force Headquarters stole military supplies, food, and rice supplied to the National Defense Force. Embezzled. It is said that over 90,000 Korean soldiers starved to death due to embezzlement.
Past history has also been rewritten. Since Syngman Rhee himself had no knowledge of the Japanese colonial period, it could be said that it was easy for him to rewrite history.
The historical view that the Korean peninsula was exploited and enslaved during the Japanese colonial period creates an imaginary "better government" in which even if domestic politics does not go well after the founding of Korea, it will be much better than the Japanese colonial period. I created it .
In order to make that view of history into social norms, even affirming Japanese rule would become a political prisoner. The most problematic thing is that such conventional wisdom and education are still being inherited today.
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
Korean tribe spread in Manchuria
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.
Kim Ok - kyun and Miyazaki Toute He also interacted with Sun Wen and Kim Ok-kyun, and in Miyazaki's book "The Dream of the 33rd Year," which supported the 1911 Revolution, he wrote about Kim Ok-kyun as follows.
------------------
The news of Kim Ok-kyun's murder surprised the whole of Japan.
The problem is that the assassination of Kim Ok-kyun by Cheong Wa Dae and North Korea caused an unexpected storm of anger throughout Japan.As a result, the war between Japan and China began to break out due to the spread of the Donghak Party's rebellion in Honam, North Korea.
Kim Ok-kyun's official funeral at Asakusa Honganji was cut off on August 1, 1954.In the meantime, the chorus of "Shoot, punish, and clean up" quickly burst into the war between Japan and China for a little over two months.

The photo was taken by a Japanese person in a newspaper article at that time.Kim Ok-kyun coudn't not achieve revolutionize himself, but his death moved the Japanese and led the Korean Peninsula to independence.
The forced labor issue is one that recognizes the annexation of Japan and South Korea as an illegal act and allows claims for compensation for forced labor.
Korean Ambassador to Japan proposes subrogation payment
Is it an unpaid wage issue or a tort issue?
Past tort disputes
There are no actual cases in which a tort has been recognized under international law
Mr. Yun Deok-min, who has been appointed as the Korean ambassador to Japan under the newly inaugurated Yun Seok-Yeong administration, seems to be proposing a plan for the South Korean government to make subrogation payments regarding the issue of conscripted labor. has two completely different points. The issues are ``unpaid wages'' and ``illegal acts.''
One is the issue of ``unpaid wages,'' which arose during discussions in the Japan-Korea Claims Agreement when Koreans moved to the Korean peninsula immediately after the war, or when Japanese companies moved from the Korean peninsula.
This was included in the 1965 agreement as post-war compensation, and the South Korean side received it, and even after that, under the Lu Moo-hyun administration, the South Korean government continued to compensate the unpaid wages of conscripted workers as included in the 1965 agreement. Going .
The current issue of conscripted labor is that the conscription itself is forced labor, which is illegal under international law, and is an anti-humanitarian act directly connected to illegal colonial rule and the waging of a war of aggression. This is a ``claim for compensation'' based on a unilateral decision made by the Supreme Court.
This is also the issue of forced to work (requisition recognized under international law) or forced labor (forced labor not recognized under international law), which was disputed when Gunkanjima was applied for as a World Heritage Site. It goes without saying that the National General Mobilization Order applies equally to all citizens and is a legal form of forced to work under international law.The use of forced to work in the registration of Gunkanjima as a UNESCO World Heritage Site also allowed the South Korean side to has also agreed.
No international military tribunal has ever been held on the Korean peninsula since the end of the war, and there has never been a single case of a war criminal on the Korean peninsula, and no one has been tried as a war criminal. There is no fact that the annexation of Japan and South Korea is illegal, nor is there a single fact that the forced recruitment related to recruitment has been recognized as illegal under international law.
In other words, the key point in the current issue of forced labor is that the South Korean Supreme Court ruled that it was an illegal act without any basis or reference to international law. In this sense, Yoon Deok-min uses the expression "subrogated payment," but it seems quite strange. This is because the illegality of conscription and the annexation of Japan and South Korea itself does not exist.
