Korea is obsessed with history, but do they really know their history?
In South Korea, it is said that if you don't know history, you won't be able to become a fine adult. History is one of the subjects in Japan, and many science and math students don't like history and don't study it much. At least I don't think that I can't become a fine adult.
There is a question as to whether Koreans are actually interested in history. The problem, rather than differences in historical understanding, is the method of approach. It is said that the Korean peninsula was colonized by Japan, but it is strange why we do not learn about the history of the development of the Korean peninsula. History is all about learning both sides, but in South Korea, only the story of being ruled and oppressed appears.
teach only the negative parts of history
Who are the Japanese who introduced history, civil engineering, engineering, chemistry, medicine, and various other social infrastructures and social systems, and what kind of person is that person? Although these things remain as historical facts, they are never adopted in history and are dismissed. Would it be possible to learn history without learning that? The best approach to studying history is to look directly at the Korean Peninsula of that era and think from that perspective.

Geographically, the Korean Peninsula is covered by mainland China
A vassal state of China since its founding

China and Korea were ruled by different ethnic groups
Seeing history from the perspective of northern peoples
South Korea only denounces Japanese rule
The Korean Peninsula has a history that is inseparable from China, as the peninsula's geographical characteristics make it look like it is completely covered by the Chinese continent.
What exactly is this sense of victimhood and hostility toward Japan that Korean people have? The historical differences between China and Japan seen from South Korea are largely due to geopolitical reasons as seen from a map, but that is not the only reason. I would like to think about it in terms of the dominant ethnic group and the ruled ethnic group.
Legend has it that there were countries called Dangun Joseon and Minojo Joseon, but archaeologically it is said that they existed from the later Eishi Joseon.
The legendary Mino Korea is said to have been founded by the Mino of the Shang Dynasty in China, and the Wei Dynasty Joseon is said to have been founded by the Wei clan of the Yan Dynasty in China. Both were founded as vassal states of China.
After that, Goguryeo, Baekje, and Silla entered the Three Kingdoms period, and then the Sui Dynasty invaded Koguryo, and the Tang Dynasty invaded Koguryo.
Although Goryeo established a unified dynasty, it was placed under the control of the Later Tang Dynasty shortly after its founding. During the Yuan Dynasty, China was invaded by the Mongol Empire and became a vassal state. The Allied Forces of Mongolia and Goryeo invaded Japan twice, but failed.
Lee Seong-gye, who founded the Joseon Dynasty, is also known as the Jurchen people, and the Jurchen people were an ethnic group that lived in the Manchuria region, and later Hong Taiji founded the Qing Dynasty in China.
From China's point of view, the Korean people are recognized as a different ethnic group living outside the Great Wall of China, and these ethnic groups lived primarily as nomadic peoples, but due to the geographical relationship of the peninsula, the Korean people have decided to settle down. It seems that it has become.
Northern ethnic groups such as the Xiongnu, Xianbei, Khitan, Jurchen, Manchu, and Mongolians were a threat not only to the Han Chinese in China, but also to the Koreans.
Looking at the history of China, there have been only a handful of unified dynasties founded by the Han Chinese, who make up the majority of the country, and for most of its history, different ethnic groups have ruled the Chinese mainland.
When I look at world history, I have never seen a history centered on northern peoples, but if I dare to look at it from that perspective, both China and the Korean peninsula were invaded and dominated by northern peoples.
The Sui, Tang, and Yuan dynasties that invaded the Korean Peninsula mentioned above are different ethnic states in China if you consider them centered on the Han people. It is also a country of different ethnic groups when viewed from the perspective of the Korean Peninsula.
In addition to small-scale direct invasions by foreign ethnic groups, the majority of the history of the Korean peninsula is that they invaded the peninsula after taking control of mainland China.
In this composition, Japan is classified as one of China's peripheral ethnic groups. Geographically speaking, Japan is called Toi in contrast to Northern Yi. They are a neighboring ethnic group common to China and the Korean Peninsula.
If we look at the annexation of Japan and Korea in the above sense, it means that the Korean peninsula was ruled by a different ethnic nation that also shared China. It is also a foreign country to China.
Some people point out the contradiction in that Koreans do not complain about the fact that they were ruled by China for over 1,000 years, but they hold a grudge against Japan for 1,000 years only for 35 years, but in reality, the country of China itself is the same. I wonder if there is a complicated background to the history of a controlled area.
Historically, Japan may still be recognized as a common enemy of China and the Korean Peninsula.
It is said that South Korea's sense of victimhood is something that has been cultivated historically, but if you look closer at the globe, you can see that mainland China has also had a history of being invaded. Based on this, Japan should resolutely clarify its position.
MEMO They only shout that they were ruled by Japan, but the facts that developed during that time are hidden. History education is about learning both.
In one word, it is called a colony, but they are all different forms.
What about Japanese rule in Asia? If you compare the colonial forms under Japanese rule in Taiwan, Indonesia, Malaysia, Palau, Vietnam, etc., you should be able to see the Japanese style of colonial management at the time, but it seems that South Korea does not have that perspective. There doesn't seem to be any.
A one-sided view of history with no basis for comparison.
Speaking of colonies, what is the difference from Western colonies ? When did it start and what process did it take to spread to Asia? Even though they are called Western countries, Britain, France, and the Netherlands have different colonial management styles. The concept of history that South Korea presents to Japan is fixed and does not have a multifaceted perspective. It is a one-dimensional understanding of history that begins with Japanese rule, and since even China does not enter into it, it is not Oriental history either. Or even seen as creative history .
No evidence is available
Materials from the Japanese colonial period are kept in Japan. Of course, it was written in the Japanese of the time. Minutes and resolutions are public documents and can be viewed by the general public. This means that the information is accessible even to Koreans who can read Japanese. In order to understand the Japanese colonial period, Korean historians should have access to it, but this is not the approach at all. So when you ask them what kind of materials their historical claims are based on, nothing comes out.

Technology and knowledge of the Korean Peninsula at that time from pictures of unicycles on the Korean Peninsula.
This photo is often introduced as an interesting ride on the Korean Peninsula, but how about comparing it to the second one in terms of efficiency and cost?The second one is a Japanese rickshaw, but neither is a modern vehicle.The difference is whether it is one wheel or two wheels.
At that time, there was no technology to make wheels on the Korean Peninsula, so it was imported from China.The wheels were expensive, and even though they were aristocrats on the Korean Peninsula, they moved on one wheel.As a result, the biggest difference is the number of people driving the car.In the case of one wheel, it becomes unstable when people ride on top of it and requires two people in front and back.In the case of two wheels, it can be operated by one person for stability.It can be imagined that human costs were much lower than wheels.Or there was no concept of labor costs.If you think about transportation efficiency, you can say everything about agricultural work and transportation of goods.If you need twice as many people to transport things, production efficiency cannot be increased.
It is said that nearly half of the people were slaves at the end of Joseon.If you just order the slaves, there will be no labor costs.
According to Jeong Dong-yu, a Confucian scholar in the Joseon period, "The Sheep, the Car, and the Needle" is not available in Joseon.During the Joseon Dynasty, there was no technology to bend and round wood to make wheels, and there were no horse-drawn carts, cattle carts, rickshaws, or agricultural water wheels.Will this be effective in farming?The absence of needles indicates that metal processing techniques are extremely low.Needles must be made with the technique of sharpening metal and must not be broken.Also, it is necessary to make a hole in the rear part where the thread can be machined.During the Joseon Dynasty, wheels and needles were obtained from China.
You can't make things without those tools.In order to make the tool, we need the tool to make it.Japan's industrial revolution was made possible based on craftsmanship handed down over 1,000 years.They made production facilities and railways that they learned from the West in imitation.
In winter, the Korean Peninsula is cold and warm, but when Japan came to Korea, it was bare and bare.As soon as it rained on the bare mountains, a lot of water flooded the fields and destroyed the crops.Japan planted forests on the mountains of the Korean Peninsula.The number has reached 1 billion in 10 years since 1911.This is a problem unrelated to the Industrial Revolution.This is because it is a matter of improving the efficiency and planning of human resources.During the Joseon Dynasty, no progress was made due to the servitude of the people, and technology and knowledge were lost.
Korea cries out that it was taken away by Japan due to the annexation of Japan and South Korea, but there was nothing on the Korean Peninsula when Japan went there.
If you can't read kanji, you can't read the materials.
I wonder if there are any historians in Korea who can't read kanji? South Korea abolished kanji in 1970, and the generations after that were unable to read kanji. If you can't read kanji, you won't be able to read history from the Japanese colonial period or even before that.
POINT The abolition of Chinese characters is also greatly involved in Korean historical awareness. If you can't read kanji, you won't even be able to access past documents.

It was difficult for Koreans to join the Japanese army. Volunteers who had a good understanding of the purpose of the war.

This is the number of Koreans who applied and were hired to become Japanese military recruits on the Korean Peninsula. The enlistment examination tests various items such as Japanese proficiency and understanding, understanding of Japanese culture, purpose of war, and world situation.In 1942, the multiplier was 62.4 times, and only 1.6% people was passed.
The Korean volunteers who participated in the recruitment understood that fighting as part of the Japanese army meant protecting the Korean Peninsula.
What this meant was that the Japanese fought on the front lines during the war, while the Koreans worked in munitions-related factories as logistical support. You wouldn't have gone to war if you hadn't volunteered.
Military conscription began on the Korean Peninsula in 1944, before the end of the war. The death rate for Korean Peninsular soldiers was 9.2%, and the death rate for the Japanese military as a whole was 24.22% for the Navy and 19.76% for the Army.
The soldiers who joined the Korean peninsula volunteered after fully understanding the language, the fact that the purpose of the war was to liberate Asia, and the historical background. Defense of Asia is synonymous with defense of the Korean Peninsula. They volunteered to protect the Korean peninsula.
Currently in South Korea, young people who have joined the Japanese army are said to be pro-Japanese traitors. The act of continuing to smear the honor of military personnel can only be described as despicable.
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.
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.
Emperor Sunzong's imperial admonitions and the truth about the annexation of Japan and Korea.A life spent playing billiards as a hobby and listening to the gramophone at night.
In 1909, the movement for the annexation of Korea and Japan became stronger, and Prime Minister Lee Wan-yong, with the support of pro-Japanese groups such as Iljin-kai, proceeded to discuss the annexation of Korea with the Japanese government. On August 22nd, the Japan-Korea Annexation Treaty was signed.
On August 29th, the treaty came into effect with the approval of the emperors of both countries, and the Korean Empire collapsed and came under the control of the Japanese Governor-General of Korea. The following is an imperial admonition issued by Emperor Sunjong, the last emperor of the Joseon Dynasty, to the Korean Peninsula, and was also published in newspapers.
Imperial admonition of Emperor Sunjong of the Korean EmpireI have done a tremendous amount of work and have striven for the Restoration ordinance from my accession to the present day. The road ahead is still steep, the country is weakened, and exhaustion is everywhere, leaving us at a loss. This situation cannot be brought to an end. Rather, we should entrust them with great responsibilities and obtain perfect methods and innovative achievements. For this reason, I have personally decided to transfer the right to govern Korea to His Majesty the Emperor of Japan, a neighboring country, to solidify peace in the East and ensure the life and safety of the Korean people. The people should deeply understand the state of the country and the times, work without confusion, submit to the new civilized government of the Japanese Empire, and enjoy its happiness. I have never forgotten the people. It was born out of the true intention of saving and making use of the people, so please understand this well.August 29, 1910
After the annexation, Sunjong (Lee Ben) lived in Changdeokgung Palace in Gyeongseong-fu, was established as a king, and was called ``King Yi.'' Before the annexation, he was so weak both mentally and physically that he was unable to walk without the support of his attendants, but by this time he was able to walk and began to respond cheerfully. Masatake Terauchi said that this may be because he was ``freed from the pain of national troubles.''
After his abdication, Sumjong lived a graceful life
``Li Wang'' was very nervous, and he checked his own clock to wake up, take a bath, and go to bed on time. He played his hobby of billiards from 2pm to 4pm on weekdays and listened to the gramophone at night.
Also, like his father Gojong, who became King Yi Tae, he had an excellent memory, and it is said that he never forgot the names of the people he had an audience with. He loved the French cuisine of Kaneyoshi Yoshikawa, the first head chef of the Imperial Hotel, and ate it almost every day.
In June 1917, he visited Japan and had an audience with Emperor Taisho, who had visited Korea 10 years earlier. In November, a fire destroyed most of Changdeokgung Palace, and they moved to the remaining building called Rakuseonjae, but it was too small.
Lee Wan-yong considered moving to Deoksugung Palace, where King Lee lived, but when Lee heard this, Lee reprimanded him and said, ``Don't move, it's Changdeok Palace given to you by His Majesty the Emperor.'' After that, he lived in Nakseongjae for two years until the restoration of Changdeokgung Palace was completed.
It is believed that Shirosuke Gondo, the administrative official of the King of Yi, believed that the rituals of the King of Lee would be preserved by the title of ``Changdeokgung''.
Korea claims that they were forced to annex Japan and Korea, but no matter how you look at Sunjong's imperial admonitions and his subsequent life and behavior, it doesn't seem that way.
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.
