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

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.
Ahn Jung - geun Jyushichi - Chiba Jyushichi-Chiba was born in Saruhira, Kurikoma-cho, Miyagi Prefecture, and was a 27-year-old young man who served as a guard for Ahn Jung-geun in Lushun Prison.Chiba was deeply moved by Ahn Jung-geun's earnest desire for peace in the East and national independence in the face of the death penalty.Five minutes before the execution, Ahn Jung-geun wrote a letter to Chiba.Chiba, the "main duty of soldiers dedicated to their country," secretly carried his remains letter back to his hometown when he returned home, and his bereaved families kept them away from his eyes.
On the 100th anniversary of Ahn Jung-geun's birth and 70th anniversary of his death in 1979, the bereaved family of Chiba presented the calligraphy to the Tokyo Institute of Korean Studies.It is now enshrined as a national treasure in the Ahn Jung-geun Memorial Hall.The monument was built in Chiba's hometown in hopes of friendship between Japan and South Korea, and a stone monument was built next to Chiba's grave.
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.
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.
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.
