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

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.
History closed due to the abolition of kanji - Korean education that does not know history and cannot read 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
The limits of the industrial revolution and modernization on the Korean Peninsula - At the time of the annexation, the Korean Peninsula lacked everything.
In 1805, the Korean Confucian scholar Jeong Dong-yu listed sheep, wheels, and needles as things that did not exist on the Korean peninsula. The wheel refers to the technology that transforms and processes wood, and the needle refers to the precision processing of metal. At that time, there was no technology to make wheels on the Korean peninsula, so cargo was carried on the backs of oxen or carried on the shoulders or heads of people. The needle also needed to have a sharp metal tip and a hole in the back for the thread to pass through, and these items were ordered from China.
Isabel Bird, who traveled to the Korean peninsula four times in three years from 1894 to 1897, said, ``The road to Seoul was so narrow that cattle could not pass each other, and it was like a maze.'' It's just a passage," he wrote. It can be seen from this that there were no vehicles with more than two horizontal wheels.
The industrial revolution produced large machines and produced goods in large quantities. Wood processing technology and metal processing technology are essential to making industrial machinery. Distribution is then needed to transport the products to each region. Vehicles that transport raw materials and products need roads to begin with. In order to communicate work processes to workers and create manufacturing records, workers must be able to read and write. Without a monetary economy, products cannot be manufactured or traded. At that time, the Korean peninsula did not have everything necessary for the industrial revolution.
Japan introduced industrial machinery, cars, roads, school education, etc. to the Korean Peninsula. The class system was abolished, slaves were freed, and a mobile labor force was created. This gave rise to mass production, wide-area distribution, and a monetary economy in which money and goods were exchanged. This is the industrial revolution and modernization that Japan brought to the Korean Peninsula.
Japan organized the history of the Korean peninsula, and Korea eliminated it and created its own history.
It was Japan that organized the history of the Korean Peninsula. Until then, various documents had simply been stored in that location. Systematized from the perspective of modern history. In addition to Japanese historians such as Iwakichi Inaba, Yasukazu Suematsu, and Hidetaka Nakamura, intellectuals and cultural figures from the Korean peninsula such as Hong Hui, Lee Yong-wha, Choi Nam-seon, and Lee Byeong-yeon also participated, for a total of 41 people. Climb to the top. Japanese scholars generously taught intellectuals on the Korean Peninsula the ways of thinking and systematizing modern history.
There are 4,950 materials borrowed from visits throughout the Korean Peninsula, Japan and Manchuria, 1,623 copies of selected important items, and 3,500 used books that serve as historical sources for the text.
After the war, these historical books were created under Japanese rule, and were rejected as a colonial view of history. Instead, an ethnic view of history created by Korean Peninsulars themselves emerged and was introduced into school education. Not only historians, but also the pro-Japanese factions were ostracized from society, saying that they were trying to get rid of all the bad things they had done. This ethnic view of history has led to the unfounded history that leads to the present day.
Not only in history editing, but in all fields, modern technology and learning brought from Japan were rejected as something brought by postwar Japan. The people who were involved in these events are also ostracized as vestiges of the schedule.
In other words, there were many people who helped the development of the Korean peninsula at the time of Japan's annexation of Korea. Historiography, which was established after the war by eliminating dissenters, is far from an academic approach in the first place. Children on the Korean Peninsula today are learning a story that is a continuation of a national historical perspective that lacks objectivity.
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.
