lot of our korean soldier did nanking massacre in china too but they were wear japan soldier suit. And we Korea is from ethnicity of Japan and China. So it was very difficult to distinguish. Most Korean don’t know this truth that hide behind the curtains.
Y시형 you are correct. Korea officials hide a lot of information about Korea evil things to project our country nice public image. In reality it’s very bad country and savage society.
Japan annexed Korea. I didn't have a war. At the request of the Korean Empire, Japan signed the Japan's Annexation Treaty. This was legal. Unfortunately, Korea at that time was not in a situation where it could exist as an independent country. In a country that has no choice but to become a client state of the Qing dynasty or a Russian colony. South Korea has opted for annexation with Japan.
Japan is different from German. Because they never say sorry for the history. As a Korean, it is very sorrowful.. Many ones were killed, sexually slaved, etc. No one say sorry.. It makes us feel down..
Unlike Germany, the Japanese government does not recognize Korea's colonial rule Rather, they say that Korea was able to grow as it is now because Japan ruled Korea Even in the World Cup, the Japanese are waving the rising sun flag, which is similar to the Nazi culture of Germany at the time. I think it's because the Japanese government distorts history in schools as well
my great grandfather immigrated out of korea in 1907 to the united states. After japan attack pearl harbor my grandfather joined the US armed forces and fought the japanese in the pacific alongside many other brave men. After the war he met my grandmother in a war torn country and brought her to the states, This is the reason why i exist
Japan attacked US military formation because ever since the 19th century US ships have bullied and blocked Japan from submitting to unfair treaties. The attack was morally justified but as mentioned by Admiral Yamamoto not wise. Along with the Soviet Union, the US committed the worst war crimes during WWII with its holocaust against the Japanese burning millions of thousands of Japanese civilians alive by firebombs and nuclear bombs
The beginning of this video … Japan, one of the world’s powerful country, Korea, country known for Kpop and cosmetics. LOL I think you guys could’ve introduced the countries a little differently…
Exactly!!..Korea is known not only for k-pop and cosmetics but for their technology and other things also. And the things Japan did in Korea will never be forgiven.
Until the 1990s, Japan was like Germany. As the economy went into a prolonged recession, Japan again adopted totalitarianism as a strategy to quell people's dissatisfaction. It is a Japanese style ideology that has recently emerged as a totalitarian society based on democracy rather than totalitarianism based on militarism. The way it works is to incite hatred in the country around Japan and unite the people. The risk is too high to use Russia or China as an enemy, so an enemy the size of Korea is currently appropriate for Japan. Political decisions and opinions of ordinary citizens are different. just want you to know that..

But most of us are not interested in you. It seems that Korean people have been brainwashed to hate Japan and Japanese people in terms of history, but their national character is despicable that they are happy to lower our image in the modern world.
I met a Japanese university student who had just finished their high school education. I was so shocked they had no knowledge of what japan did to korea or China. I only heard that in the Japanese curriculum they don’t teach correctly the atrocities and crimes Japan committed but it was astounding to meet someone from Japan who had no knowledge...

I'm a proud citizen of South Korea, and I can tell you that we are much more than a country known for K Pop. Our culture, including Goryou pottery, and Sukgulam. I hope that Korea can be better recognized!
I'm visiting again since I was here last in 2013 and there's so much that doesn't make it out of Korea that I wish people knew. Like how SK sent people to NK to work every day. And how the splitting of the peninsula into 2 countries really affected families here. I also vote to change Korea as the lover's country of the world. Paris may have a nice atmosphere but in SK you can see couples and how much they care for each other.
I knew India and Korea have the same independence day but didn't knew the history was this similar. In India , British colonized us, when they left they divided our country. And when Japanese left, Korea also got divided.
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.

(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.
Hello, Indian friend. I understand it is hard for you to believe but a lot of Korean histories are fabricated. As for the comfort women, under Clinton & Bush administration, organization called ＩＷＧ investigated about the comfort women for 8 years sparing $30M.No evidence for the comfort women, sexual slaves were found......Why they say they were? They kept having Japanese government compensate. We fought together like Indian. Korean kids could go to school and sometime Korean could get a better position in the military. All those info are based on EVIDENCE and all the info of comfort women and salve are based on their loud performance!!!!!

As someone from Ireland we suffered under the British much like Korea with Japan I have a lot of sympathy for Korea. Japan actually studied how Britain got rid of Irish culture and tried to do the same on the Koreans

@@KD-ee3vq I think you misunderstood.. the Japanese forced Koreans to change their last name to Japanese style and it was illegal to keep their Korean name under the Japanese law at that time. As Korean names are usually made of Chinese characters, Japanese government ordered Korean people to use Japanese Kundoku(訓読), for examples, 南 Nam (original Kor)-> Minami(Jap), 林 Park -> Hayashi, 柳 Yu -> Yanagi. like what you said, it was optional to change Koreans' first name as per the law, However IN THE REAL LIFE so many people were threatened and tortured by Japanese soldiers so they had to choose to change their first name to Japanese as well.
What do you want to say First of all, this Greater East Asia War is a war of justice to free Asia from the colonies of Western nations. The bad thing is the Western nation. The country of Korea was dominated by the Qing Kingdom for a long time, but I was delighted to be able to become independent because Japan defeated the Qing Kingdom. After that, Russia invaded the Far East and tried to build military bases in Manchuria and South Korea. The Russo-Japanese War is a proxy war in which the Korean Empire fought on behalf of South Korea for assistance from the Japanese government. So Koreans should thank the former Japanese army. Had the Japanese not been fighting, South Korea would no longer exist, be part of Russia, and live like North Korea. Read the memoirs of US President Herbert Hoover. You do not understand the world situation of this era. In 1919, Japan was the first country in the world to call for the elimination of racial discrimination in the League of Nations. In October 1937, when the Sino-Japanese War (China Incident) began, Pope Pio 11 (governed from 1922 to 1939), then known as Pope and pacifist, understood this Japanese behavior. .. He showed and called on Catholics around the world to work with the Japanese military.

Japan says it should be grateful for the unwarranted invasion of Korea because Japan built all of Korea's economic infrastructure. However, South Korea lost all of its economic facilities in the Korean War caused by the North's invasion. Korea started again from zero. Japan's absurd claim is that Japan should be grateful for the Korean War for the massive rise in Japan's economy as it procured large amounts of military supplies. Japan is a mean country. They do not educate their youth about this history.
Even now, many Japanese say that their colonization of Joseon was a good colony for Koreans. Then Japan says that there was no Japanese oppression in Korea. The Japanese refer to those who fought for Korea's independence as terrorists. This is like the CCP lying that there was no oppression or detention in Tibet and Uyghurs. Those who cry for Tibet and Uyghur independence are called terrorists by the CCP.

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.
@@momosaki_momoka 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. ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ goo.gl/16ufMt A 38 year-old man beat a 95 year-old man to death Published in Segye Ilbo (World Daily) on September 12, 2013 A man in his 30's beat a man in his 90's to death because the old man supported the Japanese rule of Korea. The court imposed a five year sentence on the assailant. In May 2013, 38 year-old Mr. Hwang quarreled with 95 year-old Mr. Park in Chongmyo Park located in Chongno ward, Seoul, South Korea. Mr. Park said, "I fondly recall the period of the Japanese rule. It was fortunate for Korea to have been ruled by Japan." Mr. Hwang could not control his temper. Mr. Hwang kicked Mr. Park, forcefully took his 80cm long walking stick supporting him and hit his face several times. Mr. Park was taken to a hospital. He was diagnosed with cerebral hemorrhage and a fractured skull, which would take eight weeks to heal. Mr. Hwang was charged with assault after interrogation by police. At first, the court categorized this case as a simple assault and entrusted it to the summary court. However, after Mr. Park died in the hospital, the situation changed. The prosecutor attributed the death of Mr. Park to the assault by Mr.Hwang and changed the charge from assault to assault causing death. The case was also transferred to the district court where three judges presided over the trial. On September 10th, Seoul District Court (chief judge Kim Young Gwan) ruled Hwang guilty of all charges and sentenced him to five years in prison.

@@kayvan671 Yes, the truth hurts me. What makes you believe so deeply that brutal imperialism increases population? Who made you believe such ridiculous things?
Thank you for creating a video about the history of South Korea, which should not be forgotten. Even in the face of threats to their lives during the Japanese colonial period, we will not forget those who fought for independence. Living in a country that has been preserved through hardship, I will strive to be a responsible citizen. I can confidently say that I am proud to be Korean. I hope that more people will become interested in this history.
Both north and south Koreans fought the Japanese occupation together. Do not forget the people on the other side. They also sacrificed their lives for both Koreas.
Your pronunciation of 'Joseon' is a bit off. You should say it more like 'Joe-sun.' Don't pronounce 'J' words with an 'H' like you would in Spanish. Great content btw. Very polished production for a smaller channel! Keep up the good work and you'll be sure to grow!

@@스폰짓수 In fact, you are correct. You wouldn’t exist if this anime was Korean history. Population of Joseon in 1910 was about 12 million but it was doubled to about 24 million in 1945. Japanese population in the same era increased only 40%. Population of other colonies didn’t double. Australian aborigines decreased 90%. Native American decreased 90%. Philippino population didn’t increase for 200 years. Such an oppression does not increase population. You can make up a story but you cannot hide population.

Yes, don’t deny your ancestors wrongdoing. Korean made up fiction and teach it as history. I know it’s something your ancestors did but don’t believe it blindly.
am a Korean living person. Japan committed atrocities against us, including torture and slaughter, and brutally killed our people. But right now, Abe is not apologizing. Japan is trying to make friends with the United States, and in fact, Japan is trying to make a new place.Japan lost the Second World War, and there's this writing in the pacifist constitution. It says that Japan does not use land, sea and air for peace.
There’s an error at 4:17. There’s actually two Sino Japanese War, the First Sino Japanese War fought between the Empire of Japan and Qing Dynasty China of 1894, and the Second Sino Japanese War between the new republic of China and the Japanese empire, which is the correct Sino Japanese war that drags on to ww2. Also the three art paintings are wrong, those three battle paintings is the painting from the First Sino Japanese War not the Second Sino Japanese War which you’re trying to explain.
@@EroticOnion23 Japan has not had any war after wwii, it is one of the most peaceful countries now. Korea, on the other hand, is bloody in Korean War and Vietnam War. Still shameless.
Another thing : before you put trust into your own Japanese education system, remember that you live in a country that lionized and celebrated a serial killer Issei Sagawa. That alone shows just how twisted your society is, as well as the thinking process of its citizens. Japan's historical distortion, historical revisionism, is too absurd
I am an india and I thought Korea & Japan were in a good relationship and also thought Japanese was a victim of hiroshima . But I didn't know that even japan also had the same mindset of those European guys
They’re all like that, check out China colonising Taiwan etc. Doesn’t mean the residents of Hiroshima deserved to get nuked tho they are still victims. It’s leadership
You could say Japan is directly and indirectly responsible for the Korean War. Japan created hardships, which led to the Korean people to revolt and adapt communist ideologies. But at the same time some Koreans could’ve revolted against the korean government and the civil war could have happened that way, kind of like the Chinese civil war.
he 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.

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."

I lived in Tokyo for 2 years teaching English at the end of the 1980s, and I saw how monstrous the average Japanese citizen's attitude toward Korea & Korean immigrants was. The 20th c never made Japan pay the reparations it owed the Chinese, the Korean, Malay, Indonesians, and all the countries they subjugated. Hiroshima at least got Japan's attention. I hope their is still time for them to accept responsibility for the horrors they inflicted, before 21st c east and southeast Asians decide to deliver more attention getters....
Michael Zimmerman I'm Korean and what I want is just sincere apology and accepting their mistakes. Well, but... last 8/15 was a day when the japan lost the war and korea restored its freedom. But in the speech, the prime minister of Japan said no single word about apology or regret for thier mistakes that they commited to thier neighboring contries. Instead, some ministers and politicians go praying for thier generals who was excuted for war crime after the war. I'm very sad that Japan would invade others just after getting opportunity because not like Germany, it seems japan learned nothing in war.
It’s complicated. Reparations were paid, Japanese prime ministers and government officials apologized, and some funds were created to compensate victims, but there are ultra nationalists, historical whitewashing, and constant denial and justification going on in Japan, not to mention, shrines. I don’t think Japan gets to sweep WWII under the rug yet.
@flower Did Japanese government ever apologized to China? I seen a video of an ex-imperialist soldier that went to China and apologize. I can say he is much braver than his own government.

This is a typical video based on the history rewritten by South Korea after the war. >>>"Around 200 thousand girls and women from Korea and China were forced into sexual slavery for Japanese soldiers." ????? ..........Is such an unrealistic story still being told? Why didn't anyone see 200,000 women being forcibly taken by the Japanese army? Of course, Japanese soldiers were neither magicians nor psychics. And It is well known that many former Korean comfort women changed the content of their testimonies. Why did they need to do so? In South Korea, the credibility of the testimonies of the former comfort women has never been verified. If you think about this problem with objective facts, common sense and a little imagination, you can easily get the right answer.

During Annexation (1910-1945) "I first visited Korea in 1909 [1909-ed], 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 the 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 supplies to reasonable levels. They reforested the bleak hills. They established a general system of education and the development of skills. Even the dusty, drab and filthy clothing had been replaced with clean bright colors. The Koreans, compared to the Japanese, were poor at administration and business. Whether for this reason or by deliberate action, the Japanese filled all major economic and governmental positions. Thus, in1948 when they finally achieved self-government, the Koreans were little prepared for it." (“Freedom Betrayed” by Herbert Hoover, pp.737-738)

@lina hillarie According to the main editorial by the Chief Editor of Choson Ilbo, the biggest newspaper in South Korea, on Mar 6, 2012, and Feb. 13, 2003, says, "Koreans lie as if they breathe” and “Koreans are the world’s biggest liar of all." Korea has the highest fraud rate and is the only country whose fraud rate exceeds that of robbery in OECD. Also, all of the perjury, calumny, and fraud rates in S Korea are some 160-670 times higher than those of Japan.
Your true history is too sad to teach that your government decided to teach you fantasies instead. This is what President Hoover said after visiting Korean Peninsula before and after the annexation: "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.

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."
It should be remembered that during World War II, there was a lieutenant general from Korea who joined the Japanese army. The Imperial Japanese Army once had a lieutenant general from the Korean Peninsula named Hong Sa-Ik(洪思翊). He was not the only Korean who belonged to the Japanese military as an army officer. I think Koreans should learn the fact that many Koreans were involved in the rule of Korea by ”the Empire of Japan". They played a part in Japan's rule of Korea not only in the military but also in various administrative fields. During the Japanese colonial period in Korean Peninsula, many Koreans received compulsory and higher education at government expense, and participated in the system of governance with the Japanese as bureaucrats, judges, prosecutors, police officers, and high-ranking military officers. Before 1945, there were many Koreans living in Japan, and adult males were given the right to vote regardless of whether they were Japanese or Korean. It is shameful for such Koreans to turn their back on Japan as soon as Japan lost the Pacific War to the U.S. and claim that they were one-sided victims of Japan's rule.
There was only one general, Hong Sa-ik, who was a non-royal Korean, and Koreans had limited employment and educational opportunities. It was impossible for Koreans to be promoted unless they enlisted in Manchukuo. Most of the Korean companies established during the Korean Empire were sold to Japan at a bargain price, the land was selled to the Japanese rich, the Korean language was banned, and Japanese teachers were beaten with swords when they were caught using Korean, and judicial and economic discrimination against the Japanese continued. There was no significant change in the literacy rate. Only Korean collaborators were allowed to go to university, and even that was limited to literature and philosophy, and access to science, mathematics, and engineering was impossible. Literature written in Korean was burned, and even the rights of citizens guaranteed by the Japanese Empire's constitution, let alone the right to vote, were denied. We call them slaves, not collaborators. call Indonesians Dutch collaborators and Malays British collaborators.
During the Joseon Dynasty and the Korean Empire, education was available only to the upper classes. Under Japanese rule, the general population of the Korean peninsula was given educational opportunities for the first time, and literacy rates improved as people were able to attend school. Records show that the Governor-General of Korea issued a decree to adopt Hangul as a required subject. People from a class that could not even receive an education before the Japanese occupation, entered Japanese military academies and enlisted as officers in the Japanese and Manchukuo armies. A representative of this group was Park Chung-hee (朴正煕), who later became President of Korea. Agricultural output on the Korean peninsula was low before the Japanese took over, and with the investment of Japanese technology and capital, Korea became a breadbasket. Nevertheless, about half of the landowners during the Japanese occupation were Koreans. Records also show that the number of businesses owned by Koreans increased during the Japanese colonial period than during the Korean Empire. In other words, there is no evidence that the Japanese wrongfully and unjustly expropriated land or businesses. Whether or not Koreans were actually allowed to enroll in the engineering and medical faculties of Gyeongseong Imperial University（京城帝国大学） should be made clear by examining the student rosters of the time. If one is going to make the extreme claim that Koreans were only allowed to enroll in the literature and philosophy departments, one should check directly with primary historical sources. In addition to that, we should not forget the fact that many Koreans studied at universities in mainland Japan before 1945. Before 1945, Japanese living on the Korean peninsula did not have the right to vote, as did Koreans, and both Japanese and Koreans had the right to vote equally as long as they were adult males living in the Japanese archipelago. The Dutch government ruled Indonesia for several hundred years, but did not build a single school for the compulsory education of the general population. The same is true of the British government that colonized the Malay Peninsula. The Japanese government ruled the Korean peninsula for only 35 years, but built many schools from elementary school to university. It is a historical fact that many Koreans received primary to higher education there. This is because Koreans at that time were not Korean collaborators but Japanese citizens.
@Chris Park yeah i know but the Brutality towards Korans is just unjustified. Coz they are basically the same race and japans tried to destroy their traditions and culture even tho thats the culture of Japanese ancestors aswell...
From the latest joint research between the US, Japan and Korea, the scientists have clarified that Japanese and Korean have different DNA. As for Japanese emperor, Unfortunately, Korean media misinterpreted that the Japanese emperor is a descendant of Korean royal, but truth is, Japanese Emperor Kōnin’s concubine was descended from the Baekje royal family. that’s all.
I'm really thankful to my ancestors for fighting to achieve independence despite the dangers of death and torture. If not for them... well, it wouldn't be the country I live in today.
"The annexation was forced upon Korea by Japan" is a lie A lot of telegrams were sent by Iljinhoe (Korea's leading political party)that asked to be annex into Japan. Iljinhoe enjoyed the overwhelming majority among political parties Japan fought for Korea's independence in the Sino-Japanese War and many Japanese soldiers died. Despite its independence, it was Korea that turned to its neighbours for help due to severe domestic corruption. -- 일한합방성명서(日韓合邦聲明書) 일한합방성명서에 따르면 한일 병합이라는 상황까지 오게 된 것은 다음 이유 때문이다. 청일 전쟁 때 일본이 거액의 군사비와 수만 명의 군사를 희생시켜 조선을 청나라로부터 독립시켜 주었는데도 정사를 어지럽힌 것은 조선 사람 스스로의 잘못 때문이다. 러일 전쟁 때도 일본이 다시금 러시아에 먹힐 뻔한 조선을 구출하고 동양 평화를 달성했으나, 이를 우의로 갚지 못하고 이 나라 저 나라에 붙었다가 결국 외교권을 넘겨주게 된 것도 조선 사람의 잘못이다. 그럼에도 호의로 대해주는 일본을 배신한 헤이그 밀사 사건으로 거듭 잘못을 저질러, 결국 한일신협약을 불러왔다. 정미7조약 체결 이후에는 마땅히 산업을 발전시키고 교육에 힘써야 하건만 "폭도와 비적"으로 표현된 의병 항쟁으로 정국이 혼란해졌으며, 권세와 이속을 다투면서 나라를 발전시키지 못했다. 게다가 대한제국을 위해 수고를 다한 은혜를 잊기 어려운 이토 히로부미를 하얼빈에서 저격하여 일본의 여론을 악화시켰다. 이대로 가다가는 5백년 사직이 폐허가 되고 2천만 백성도 하나도 남지 않게 될 비참한 지경이라는 것이 일진회의 인식이다. 국가의 재정도 바닥났으며 국가기밀도, 통신수단도, 법률도 한국인의 손에 없는 상황에서 나라의 운명이 죽음의 구렁텅이로 빠져가는 중이라는 것이었다. 따라서 결론은 일본의 여론이 주장하는 한일 병합을 대한제국 순종 황제와 메이지 천황이 받아들이도록 호소하는 것이 나라를 위한 길이라는 것이었다. 일진회는 한일 병합이 만번의 죽을 고비를 넘어 한 번 살아남을 길이며, 대한제국 백성이 일등 대우의 복리를 누리고 정부와 사회가 더욱 발전할 수 있는 근본적인 방도라고 주장했다. 만약에 이 기회를 이용하지 않으면 하늘의 신이 죄를 줄 것이기에 2천만 국민에게 맹세를 다지면서 이 뜻을 알린다며 끝을 맺었다.

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." During the period of Japan's rule, half of Japanese taxpayers' money was spent on education, healthcare, industry and infrastructure in Korea The books by Professor Atul Kohli make it clear that the common perception in the West -- the Japanese invaded Korea, exploited Korean people and committed atrocities -- is a myth.

“Transportation and communication system to extract resources” is industrialization in short that doubled Korean population. Japanese currency took place of that of Korean. Of course, Korea was a part of Japan. Very reasonable economic policy.
Korea reported Battle of qingshanli of 1920 resulted Korean victory with 900 to 1600 casualties to Japanese military in 1920. It increased to 3300 in 1967 somehow. They also report death of Japanese leader Kato. Actually the casualties was only 11 that was documented and Kato didn’t die in the battle and promoted in 1922.

"I, on my part, feel a certain kinship with Korea, given the fact that it is recorded in the Chronicles of Japan that the mother of Emperor Kammu was of the line of King Muryong of Paekche," the emperor, Akihito told reporters on DEC 28, 2001-- The Guardian Kammu, reigned Japan from 781 to 806 AD, while Muryong ruled the Paekche Kingdom in Korea from 501 to 523 AD. In Japan, the story proved hard to stomach. It was covered in detail only by the Asahi Shimbun. Other major newspapers either mentioned the Korean ancestry issue only in passing or ignored the statement altogether.
Fabricating history is commonplace in North/South Korea. The ancient history of Korea at Columbia University and the Library of Congress state that "Gojoseon was also a Chinese colony" "Gojoseon was founded by the Chinese, Gija Joseon, in the 12th century BC in the northern part of the Korean Peninsula. At that time, the southern part of the peninsula was under the control of the Yamato government of Japan".
@@m.o.77 The truth is nobody knows what happened. It's all speculation and basically pre-history. And to cite things that were never said makes it look like you have an agenda.
The fact that the Japanese ruled southern Korea in ancient times can be proven by the fact that many Zenpokoenfun, uniquely Japanese tombs, have been found in southern Korea. However, this is an inconvenient truth in Korea, so even if they are discovered, they are not excavated and investigated, and are buried back and pretended to have never been there.

In this book Professor Soh accuses the pro-North activist group "Korean Council" (also known as Chong Dae Hyup 정대협 挺対協) for spreading the North Korean propaganda to block reconciliation between Japan and South Korea. Contrary to common belief, most Korean women were sold by their parents to Korean businessmen who owned and operated comfort stations. The Korean women were not the sex slaves of the Japanese military. Professor Soh insists that Korean society must repudiate victimization, admit its complicity and accept that the system was not criminal. The following is an excerpt from her book "The Comfort Women." (Pages 10 - 11) ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ Kim Sun-ok In an interview with Professor Chunghee Sarah Soh of San Francisco State University, a former Korean comfort woman Kim Sun-ok said that she was sold by her parents four times. Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abducted by the Japanese military. ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ Mun Ok-chu A former Korean comfort woman Mun Oku-chu said in her memoir: "I was recruited by a Korean comfort station owner. I saved a considerable amount of money from tips, so I opened a saving account. I could not believe that I could have so much money in my saving account. One of my friends collected many jewels, so I went and bought a diamond. I often went to see Japanese movies and Kabuki plays in which players came from the mainland Japan. I became a popular woman in Rangoon. There were a lot more officers in Rangoon than near the frontlines, so I was invited to many parties. I sang songs at parties and received lots of tips. I put on a pair of high heels, a green coat and carried an alligator leather handbag. I swaggered about in a fashionable dress. No one in town could guess that I was a comfort woman. I felt very happy and proud. I received permission to return home, but I didn't want to go back to Korea. I wanted to stay in Rangoon." According to Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University, Mun Oku-chu continued to work as a prostitute in Korea after the war. Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abducted by the Japanese military. ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ Kim Hak-sun In an interview with Korean newspaper The Hankyoreh (the artcile was published on May 15th, 1991) a former Korean comfort woman Kim Hak-sun said that she was sold by her mother. In 1993 Kim Hak-sun told Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University, "My mother sent me to train as a Geisha (Kiseng 기생) in Pyongyang and then sold me." Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abducted by the Japanese military. ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ Kim Gun-ja In 1993 a former Korean comfort woman Kim Gun-ja told Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University, "I was sold by my foster father." Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abducted by the Japanese military. Kim Gun-ja also testified before United States House Committee on Foreign Affairs in 2007 and said she was abducted by the Japanese military. ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ Lee Yong-soo In 1993 a former Korean comfort woman Lee Yong-soo told Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University, "At the time I was shabbily dressed and wretched. On the day I left home with my friend Kim Pun-sun without telling my mother, I was wearing a black skirt, a cotton shirt and wooden clogs on my feet. You don't know how pleased I was when I received a red dress and a pair of leather shoes from a Korean recruiter." Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abducted by the Japanese military. Lee Yong-soo also testified before United States House Committee on Foreign Affairs in 2007. She was told that she had five minutes to speak. She ignored the instruction and went on for over one hour putting on a performance of crying and screaming. Her false testimony resulted in the passage of United States House of Representatives House Resolution 121. In 2017 Lee Yong-soo gave false testimonies before San Francisco City Council, which resulted in the erection of a comfort women statue in that city. ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ Moon Pil-ki In 1993 a former Korean comfort woman Kil Won-ok told Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University, "I was sold by my parents." Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abducted by the Japanese military. ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ According to several witnesses, Chong Dae Hyup (pro-North activist group) coached women to say "I was abducted by the Japanese military." Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University says, "When I interviewed former comfort women in the early 1990s, none of them had anything bad to say about the Japanese military. They hated their parents who sold them and Korean comfort station owners who mistreated them. But after Chong Dae Hyup put them on its payroll, their testimonies had completely changed." ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ Sim Mi-ja A former Korean comfort woman Sim Mi-ja who refused to be on Chong Dae Hyup's payroll said, "The Korean women, who testified before UN Special Rapporteur, lied on behalf of Chong Dae Hyup. They are swindlers" ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ Bae Chun-hee In an interview with Professor Park Yuha of Sejong University in South Korea, a former Korean comfort woman Bae Chun-hee said she hated her father who sold her. She said that men who recruited Korean women and operated comfort stations were all Korean, and that Korean women who testified before UN Special Rapporteur lied on behalf of Chong Dae Hyup. ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ In wars, soldiers sometimes rape innocent women. To prevent this from happening, the Japanese military asked businessmen to recruit prostitutes and operate comfort stations (brothels). The following is the order the Japanese military sent to comfort station operators. It says "Do not recruit women against thier will. Only recruit willing prostitutes." Japanese businessmen followed the order and only recruited willing women in Japan. But Korean businessmen recruited both willing prostitutes and unwilling women in Korea. This is why some of former Korean comfort women are still unhappy while we hear little or no complaint from former Japanese comfort women. If Korean comfort station owners had followed the Japanese military's order, there wouldn't have been any comfort women issue. The Japanese military was partly guilty because its invasion into China and Southeast Asia did create the demand for comfort women. But the Korean narrative -- the Japanese military showed up at the doors and abducted young Korean women -- just didn't happen. The Korean brothel operators (comfort station owners) capitalized on the demand, recruited Korean women, operated comfort stations and made lots of money. Japan has apologized for its part. South Korea should admit its complicity and stop demanding Japan for more apologies.

Far from being banned, I taught Korean in compulsory education. He also taught Korean culture, traditions and myths. I'll put the source of the information here.

There is a big misunderstanding. Japan did not occupy Korea. Japan merged Korea. Korea had the risk of the aggression from the Soviet Union then, and Korean King Li ligatured the Treaty on Japan's annexation of Korea together in 1910, and does large Korea empire as a part of Great Japanese Empire literally, and Japan will govern it . Besides, Japan gave a Korean Japanese nationality and did various things including the high quality education ,build various buildings , infrastructure maintenance . I only want you to know the real history.
What the current generation including me needs to know is what actually happened, a transparent history instead of each country’s dramatised stories, and how we overcame or compensated it. Germany did a very right thing on this, and I hope Japanese government also can demonstrate that they are brave&cool enough to admit their past fault and move forward, instead of being involved in historical controversies forever. Korean government, also they should be more active in teaching our past faults for SEA countries… This S.K&JP historical facts have always been controversial bcs these 2 past governments made sort of unofficial agreements about compensation and keeping these issues secret area, etc,, I hope we all learn from this mistakes, Peace to all of us , and thanks for the quality video🤞🏼😎
You are correct. Transparent history education is necessary. Germany finally apologized to Poland in 2019 but told them “we owe nothing.” They also acknowledged massacre in Namibia this year but has not apologized for colonization. Japan is only one country in the world who has apologized and paid compensation for both colonization and invasion. Look. You know nothing about history. Educate yourself. Good luck.
@@kd5412 Correct, Japan apologised but refused to apologise/compensate other important part involved with it - comfort women (vice versa version of your germany-poland example). Your society might not give much importance about the latter part and neither does mine about former part , and that’s the result of a sort of brainwashing and thats why you should be more open minded to others in such open platform…
he 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.

@@doctorbae1063 Hamel’s Journal and a Description of the Kingdom of Korea, 1653-1666 Moral standards With regard to the moral standards, it has to be said that the Koreans are not very strict when it comes to mine and thine, they lie and cheat and that's why they can't be trusted. They are proud if they have cheated somebody and they don't think that's a disgrace. That's why they can undo the buy of a horse or a cow even after four months if it becomes clear that the buyer has been cheated. But the sale of a parcel ground or other immovable goods can only be undone if the conveyance has not taken place yet. On the other hand the Koreans are very gullible. We could fool them with anything. This was particularly true for the monks, who liked to listen to stories about foreign countries and their people. Furthermore they are very cowardly, as it seemed what we have heard from reliable people concerning their behavior during the Japanese invasion, when their king was killed and a great number of cities and villages were destroyed. From Jan Janse Weltevree we heard that when the Tartarians came over the ice and occupied the country, more soldiers hanged themselves in the wood, than had been killed during the battle against the invaders. The Koreans don't consider this to be unworthy. They think that these people who commit suicide are pitiful people, who came into an emergency situation, in which they only could escape by committing suicide. So it happened quite a few times that when Dutch, English or Portuguese ships on their way to Japan came into Korean waters, Korean war junks who wanted to take possession of these ships returned empty-handed to their base, because the persons on board did it in their trousers out of fear. They can't see any blood. If a Korean gets wounded during a battle, the others don't know how quickly to leave the battlefield. They also have fear for diseases, especially contagious ones. As soon as somebody gets seriously ill, they take him out of his house, to put him in a small hut of straw, outside the city or village he lives in. Here nobody else visits him other than his next of kin, who brings him food and something to drink. Who doesn't have any next of kin, runs the big risk, in the case of a disease, to be left completely unattended in a hut like that. When somewhere an epidemic breaks out, the entrance to the house of the sick persons is blocked with thorn branches. On top of that they put thorn branches on the roof of the houses to mark them as such.

1919 March 1st Korean uprisings ? Koreans claim that 200,000 young Korean girls were forcibly taken as comfort women by Japanese during WWII. But there were no uprisings. Why is it ?
So much history and greatness in Korean culture and it is all overshadowed by K-pop and cosmetics. Truly makes me sad how Korea is represented nowadays. I wish people would actually be able to see what a great country with rich history Korea is.
@@LightningDSLee You seem to have watched too many Korean TV dramas and Korean movies. They are the desires of Koreans, not historical facts. A typical example is the Yi Sun-sin warship. The history of the "Korean Peninsula" is the history of the provinces of the Chinese dynasty.
@@YA-fi3ng Wow the Japanese education system must be a lot more messed up than I thought! I understand being passionate about your country but this is a matter of just being stupid. Saying that Korean history is just Chinese is like saying German history is British. Again accept your countries wrongs and move one. This should not even be an argument. Stop responding, you are just making yourself look fucking stupid.
Now Japan is on a decline as a nation, no longer recognized as a technological powerhouse.. meanwhile South Korea is recognized as so. Oh how the pendulum swings
At 8:09 minute Tokyo is not at the right location on the map. And why did the author only used south korean flag. He should have used the Korean pennisula flag. False misrepresentation because viewer might think south korean government represent all of Korea at the time.
@@historyonmaps The flag was not wrong. The North Korean flag wasn't introduced until long after the independence. What is currently known as a South Korean flag was made in the 1880s and was used as a symbol for the entire Korean nation and its independence until the official Soviet/US division in 1948. Hope this helps.
Korea was not invaded,but annexed in accordance with international law. In the past, Korea was economically bankrupted due to the current North Korea-like bad government of the autocratic royal family and aristocracy. Therefore the Korean government finally had to choose the way of requesting Japan to annex Korea, thus the Korean Peninsula became Japanese territory and the people became Japanese citizens officially in 1910. The current Koreans are trying to hide the true history of their ancestors by spreading propaganda to the world as if Japan invaded Korea with military power in order to avenge the ethnic grudge against Japan. Far more Koreans were fighting as volunteers in the Japanese Imperial Army and over 20,000 are enshrined in the Yasukuni Shrine. More than 800,000 Koreans volunteered to serve in the Japanese military as part of the Japanese volunteer soldier system for Koreans during the years 1938-43, of which the Japanese accepted just under 18,000. One of them was Park Chung-hee, later dictator and president of South Korea and the father of the anti-Japanese former president Park Guen-hye. Koreans also served as guards in Japanese prisoner of war camps. 23 Koreans were executed by the allies as war criminals in post-war trials, including general Hong Sa-ik, who was a camp commander.
During the annexation 80% of the governors and police in Korea were Koreans. Korea was not a battlefield and Japanese soldiers were fighting on the battlefields of Asia and there were few left in Korea. There were very few Japanese soldiers left in Korea
@@samueljang1204 "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." During the period of Japan's rule, huge amounts of Japanese taxpayers' money was spent on education, healthcare, industry and infrastructure in Korea "State-Directed Development":
Since the 4th century, Korea has taught ceramics, brushes, Chinese characters, Thousand Chinese characters, silk, shipbuilding techniques, embankments, iron weapons, and agricultural equipment manufacturing methods. Japan called korea the most prosperous country in the east in many deplomatic writings. Japan just opened a port decades earlier by the United States, and fired cannons at South Korea to enforce the unequal treaty. Japan has been aggressive since the Iron Age or even more, and has always targeted the peninsula with its weakness of being an island country. Their claim of modernizing the peninsula is the theory of "colonial stagnant" which one of the things Japan insists on to conceal aggression Japan was a war criminal in World War II after the 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor in Hawaii. In that year, Japan, which had a inferiority complex in Korean cultural properties, looted Korean cultural properties, seized 15-year-old students for military, forcibly recruited all metals, and looted spoons and chopsticks to make weapons. In order to use women as sex dogs, they have set out to battlefields, from young female students to wives, and have not apologized to korea, for now 2022
Southern Korean Peninsula has Japanese style ancient tombs that are smaller and newer than those in Japan. Obviously Koreans copied them. Korea joined Mongolian invasion to Japan twice but they failed twice. Yet, Hideyoshi conquered Hanseong in 19 days. Joseon was annexed by Japan in 1910. Japan is 3rd economic power in the world. Obviously Japan has been a super power in Asia through history.
@겨울사랑 I know. Only Koreans don’t know Korean history. There are Japanese style ancient tombs in Southern area of Korean Peninsula that are newer and smaller than those in Japan. Obviously ancient Koreans copied Japanese just like they do today.
Isabella Lucy Bird. "Korea and her neighbors"（page 263） Published in 1898 The cleansing of the Augean stable of the Korean official system, which the Japanese had undertaken, was indeed an Herculean labor. Traditions of honor and honesty, if they ever existed, had been forgotten for centuries. Standards of official rectitude were unknown. In Korea when the Japanese undertook the work of reform there were but two classes, the robbers and the robbed, and the robbers included the vast army which constituted officialdom. “Squeezing” and peculation were the rule from the highest to the lowest, and every position was bought and sold.
"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.
In this book Professor Soh accuses the pro-North activist group "Korean Council" (also known as Chong Dae Hyup 정대협 挺対協) for spreading the North Korean propaganda to block reconciliation between Japan and South Korea. Contrary to common belief, most Korean women were sold by their parents to Korean businessmen who owned and operated comfort stations. The Korean women were not the sex slaves of the Japanese military. Professor Soh insists that Korean society must repudiate victimization, admit its complicity and accept that the system was not criminal. The following is an excerpt from her book "The Comfort Women." (Pages 10 - 11) ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ Kim Sun-ok In an interview with Professor Chunghee Sarah Soh of San Francisco State University, a former Korean comfort woman Kim Sun-ok said that she was sold by her parents four times. Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abducted by the Japanese military. ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ Mun Ok-chu A former Korean comfort woman Mun Oku-chu said in her memoir: "I was recruited by a Korean comfort station owner. I saved a considerable amount of money from tips, so I opened a saving account. I could not believe that I could have so much money in my saving account. One of my friends collected many jewels, so I went and bought a diamond. I often went to see Japanese movies and Kabuki plays in which players came from the mainland Japan. I became a popular woman in Rangoon. There were a lot more officers in Rangoon than near the frontlines, so I was invited to many parties. I sang songs at parties and received lots of tips. I put on a pair of high heels, a green coat and carried an alligator leather handbag. I swaggered about in a fashionable dress. No one in town could guess that I was a comfort woman. I felt very happy and proud. I received permission to return home, but I didn't want to go back to Korea. I wanted to stay in Rangoon." According to Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University, Mun Oku-chu continued to work as a prostitute in Korea after the war. Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abducted by the Japanese military. ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ Kim Hak-sun In an interview with Korean newspaper The Hankyoreh (the artcile was published on May 15th, 1991) a former Korean comfort woman Kim Hak-sun said that she was sold by her mother. In 1993 Kim Hak-sun told Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University, "My mother sent me to train as a Geisha (Kiseng 기생) in Pyongyang and then sold me." Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abducted by the Japanese military. ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ Kim Gun-ja In 1993 a former Korean comfort woman Kim Gun-ja told Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University, "I was sold by my foster father." Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abducted by the Japanese military. Kim Gun-ja also testified before United States House Committee on Foreign Affairs in 2007 and said she was abducted by the Japanese military. ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ Lee Yong-soo In 1993 a former Korean comfort woman Lee Yong-soo told Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University, "At the time I was shabbily dressed and wretched. On the day I left home with my friend Kim Pun-sun without telling my mother, I was wearing a black skirt, a cotton shirt and wooden clogs on my feet. You don't know how pleased I was when I received a red dress and a pair of leather shoes from a Korean recruiter." Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abducted by the Japanese military. Lee Yong-soo also testified before United States House Committee on Foreign Affairs in 2007. She was told that she had five minutes to speak. She ignored the instruction and went on for over one hour putting on a performance of crying and screaming. Her false testimony resulted in the passage of United States House of Representatives House Resolution 121. In 2017 Lee Yong-soo gave false testimonies before San Francisco City Council, which resulted in the erection of a comfort women statue in that city. ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ Moon Pil-ki In 1993 a former Korean comfort woman Kil Won-ok told Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University, "I was sold by my parents." Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abducted by the Japanese military. ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ According to several witnesses, Chong Dae Hyup (pro-North activist group) coached women to say "I was abducted by the Japanese military." Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University says, "When I interviewed former comfort women in the early 1990s, none of them had anything bad to say about the Japanese military. They hated their parents who sold them and Korean comfort station owners who mistreated them. But after Chong Dae Hyup put them on its payroll, their testimonies had completely changed." ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ Sim Mi-ja A former Korean comfort woman Sim Mi-ja who refused to be on Chong Dae Hyup's payroll said, "The Korean women, who testified before UN Special Rapporteur, lied on behalf of Chong Dae Hyup. They are swindlers" ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ Bae Chun-hee In an interview with Professor Park Yuha of Sejong University in South Korea, a former Korean comfort woman Bae Chun-hee said she hated her father who sold her. She said that men who recruited Korean women and operated comfort stations were all Korean, and that Korean women who testified before UN Special Rapporteur lied on behalf of Chong Dae Hyup. ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ In wars, soldiers sometimes rape innocent women. To prevent this from happening, the Japanese military asked businessmen to recruit prostitutes and operate comfort stations (brothels). The following is the order the Japanese military sent to comfort station operators. It says "Do not recruit women against thier will. Only recruit willing prostitutes." Japanese businessmen followed the order and only recruited willing women in Japan. But Korean businessmen recruited both willing prostitutes and unwilling women in Korea. This is why some of former Korean comfort women are still unhappy while we hear little or no complaint from former Japanese comfort women. If Korean comfort station owners had followed the Japanese military's order, there wouldn't have been any comfort women issue. The Japanese military was partly guilty because its invasion into China and Southeast Asia did create the demand for comfort women. But the Korean narrative -- the Japanese military showed up at the doors and abducted young Korean women -- just didn't happen. The Korean brothel operators (comfort station owners) capitalized on the demand, recruited Korean women, operated comfort stations and made lots of money. Japan has apologized for its part. South Korea should admit its complicity and stop demanding Japan for more apologies.
9 September 1945, in the wake of World War II, the US occupation administration in Korea announced that the Japanese colonial government would remain intact. After massive outcry, they replaced some Japanese bureaucrats with Americans, but enlisted the deposed Japanese officials as "advisers".
Still . . . this shows the benefits of being with the Americans versus the Japanese . . . the Americans were probably trying to maintain some semblance of order after the devastation of war . . . after the "massive outcry" I think we know what the Japanese would have done. It would not have been good for Korea. Korea was able to move steadily toward a sovereign republic with the support of the U.S.
After Korea's liberation from Japan's colonial rule, Korea passed the anti-national act punishment law to punish pro-Japanese rebels, but most of them were Koreans who worked for the Japanese colonial rule. They were sentenced to property confiscation, imprisonment or death penalty.
Korea gained independence from Japan for the first time in 35 years, but another war broke out five years later by the United States and the Soviet Union
Japan, a bad country, separated its colony Russia from the Korean peninsula. Destroyed the Lee Dynasty and destroyed his wonderful system. Japan stole the world's most advanced technology from the Korean Peninsula, including technology for submarines and aircraft carriers. This was published in books by the Portuguese and British who came to the Korean peninsula.
Korean history was distorted by post-war dictatorships. “My voyage in Korea (M Eissler 1918)“ is written by british engineer in 1918 who lived in Korea. He said that Korean people it is certainly better than they’re ruled by Japan instead of corrupt oligarchy. he also said since Japanese annexation the women’s status is raised to a higher level.
Former US president Hebert Hoover wrote in his book "Freedom Betrayed" about the Japanese occupation of South Korea History Here is what is written on page 737 and 738 of Mr. Hoover’s book: I first 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 supplies to reasonable levels. They reforested the bleak hills. They established a general system of education and the development of skills. Even dusty, drab and filthy clothing had been replace with clean bright colors. The Koreans, compared to the Japanese, were poor at administration and business. Whether for this reason or by deliberate action, the Japanese filled all major economic and governmental positions. Thus, in 1948, when they finally achieved self-government, the Koreans were little prepared for it.”
If you look only at Treaty of Shimonoseki from the first Sino-Japanese war, you might wrongly think Japan is a friend of Korea and they fight for Korean people. 'Article 1: China recognizes definitively the full and complete independence and autonomy of Korea, and, in consequence, the payment of tribute and the performance of ceremonies and formalities by Korea to China, that are in derogation of such independence and autonomy, shall wholly cease for the future.' (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treaty_of_Shimonoseki)
The reason why Qing and Japan fought a war in the first place was to occupy Joseon. At that time, the Qing Dynasty had a huge influence on Joseon, and Japan tried to have Joseon. Japan and China fought to have Joseon. If China recognizes Korea as an independent country and no longer exerts influence, Japan will be able to make Joseon Japan's. In other words, Japan did not sign such a treaty to help Joseon. Your comments are the same as the advocates of Japanese imperialism claim. They say that Korea should thank Japan for helping Korea. It was the most painful wound and pain for Koreans. I'm just curious about their brain structure🤨😐
@@shinci8562 Well, if you read my comments carefully, you will find 'you might WRONGLY think Japan is a friend of Korea and they fight for Korean people.'
@@shinci8562 Of course it's not all rosy, being colonised will never be a wonderful experience for those who are at the receiving end of it. But Korea at least did gain many valuable things as a direct/indirect result of the Japanese colonisation, that many other colonised nations in Asia were deprived of. *Infrastructures.* Although you can argue that many of them were destroyed during the Korean War, still you can't denied that the Japanese had indeed built roads, hospitals, improved the sanitations (I've personally read plenty of academic literatures in regard to this one), or at least in general tried to improve the quality of lives of their colonial subjects. *Education.* The vast majority of Koreans that were born in 1905 and afterwards irregardless of their caste were literate (it's a well known fact that only the aristocrats, literati, artisans, and merchants were litirate in the Joseon era, which made up a very small proportions of the Korean populations as compared to its illiterate *serfs),* even if the majority of them had only received the most basic of education. This and the generations of highly literate young people that came after were one of the main reason that the 'Miracle on the Han river' had went as smoothly as it was. Now compare them to the likes of the Philippines, Indonesia, Vietnam, etc. and you'll find that Korea is actually quite lucky to have had Japan as its coloniser. Also, considering the activity of the Russian Empire in the far east by the end of the 19th century, Korea might had a lucky escape on this one.
@@MrBlabax Japan did not occupy the old Joseon Dynasty. They colonized the Korean Empire, which was in the midst of industrialization by embracing Western culture. You don't know Korean history.
@@yurtnara3767 They were modernising, true, albeit a little too late and in a very slow pace (due to the traditionalists in the Joseon court that were subservient to the Manchu). To have a better understanding of why Korea lost its sovereignty to the Japanese in the early 20th century, you must not restrict yourself to reading only *Korean* history. If you've read the geopolitical history of the far east in the 19th century without any bias, you will definitely agree with me that it was either Japan or Russia that will have eventually come to dominate the Korean peninsula.

Hello, I wanna ask, could you provide me the resources which you used for this video? IT is really amazing and I would like to youse this information to my bachelor thesis, but I could not do it without proof of resources. Thanks for read it!
What a great video! Well balanced and factually accurate. Your pronunciation of Joseon is all forgIven😂. We would love to see more videos from you. Keep up the good work.
Somehow the video doesn’t say anything about population increase during Japanese occupation era. There were Hangul newspapers and textbooks. North Korea denies 3.1 movement. Casualty of Battle of Qingshanli was only 11. Too many to list.
Japan still use World War II military flags and pay tribute to the shrine, the symbol of war crimes. It's like using a Nazi flag and greeting a statue of Hitler. And they still claims that the land Dokdo-Island where South Koreans actually reside for a long time is their own land and sometimes puts military pressure on it. Japan has not changed, and the danger and nature of invading other countries at any time is latent. And Americans should be aware of this, too
I really enjoyed this video. It helps me better understand why my grandma has a hatred for Japan. I never ask about it because my mother says it's something that she doesn't like to talk about.
@@KD-ee3vq well considering that my grandma was born in the year 1950, the occupation of Japan was a recent thing. The effects of what Japan did to korea still effected the country, I can completely understand why my grandma would and still hates the japanese government.
Korean authorities say “The ROK is currently a haven of lies. these lies, causing conflict and division between Korean people. The lie forces Japan to break their relationship with South Korea. We must know to correct the history. By knowing correct history, the people’s thinking will be one.”

Comment from Taiwanese. [When, how and why did Chinese characters fall into decline in Korea(K)? What are some consequences of this?] Others have already given good posts on the history of why Chinese characters eventually disappeared from K. It is fine with me if K wants to abolish Chinese characters, as that is their language after all. However, I do want to talk about one of the consequences of abolishing Chinese characters. As a result, your average K cannot read their historical books, and as such, must rely on K historians to translate their historical writings into hangeul. This has the unfortunate result of allowing nationalistic K historians to distort history as they please, since the K public wouldn’t be able to know if they are distorting history. I was reading up on the K King Gwanggaeto, when I came across a Wikipedia article on King Gwanggaeto’s stele. The stele is a dedication to King Gwanggaeto of Goguryeo, and it is currently located in China. However, there is a part of the stele that is causing controversies between K and Japanese historians. Since the stele is almost 2000 years old, it is to be expected that some parts of the stele is less than perfect. Some of the writing has been rubbed out, which can cause some controversies and misunderstandings. As per Wikipedia, the most controversial statement is this line: 而 倭 以 辛 卯 年 來 渡 海 破 百 殘 X X [X斤 (新)] 羅 以 爲 臣 民 The debate is between K and Japanese scholars on what that line means. Japanese scholars argued that the line reads: “In the Xinmao* year, the Japanese crossed the seas and invaded Baekjae, while subjugating Silla as a vassal state”. However, K scholars argue that the “Japanese crossed the sea, but Goguryeo defeated them, and later made Silla a vassal state.” Another interpretation is that Goguryeo crossed the sea and defeated the Japanese, while subjugating both Baekjae and Silla. *Xinmao is a traditional Chinese way of measuring years. It’s hard to explain this in one post, but think of it as the Chinese way of counting years, as oppose to the Christian way of counting years using AD/BC. I don’t know how many K really believe that Goguryeo defeated the Japanese, but many years ago, there was a K history drama called King Gwanggaeto the Great. I remember clearly that one episode showed King Gwanggaeto crossing the sea and subjugated the Japanese pirates that were harassing K’s shores, so this means that at least some K nationalists believe this. As someone who actually speaks Chinese at a native level, let me emphasize that the K historians’ interpretation of the stele is absurd. Let’s look at the passage again: 而 倭 以 辛 卯 年 來 渡 海 破 百 殘 X X [X斤 (新)] 羅 以 爲 臣 民 I can say with 100% confidence that the first half 而 倭 以 辛 卯 年 來 渡 海 破 百 殘 translates to “The Japanese, in the year of Xinmao, crossed the ocean to invade Baekjae”. I know sometimes ancient Chinese can be very context heavy and weird, but this sentence is surprisingly straightforward. There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that it was the Japanese (and not Goguryeo) who crossed the seas; and that the Japanese did invade Baekjae. The K historians who argue otherwise either do not understand Chinese (which is understandable. Chinese and K grammar are completely different, particularly in where the verb is placed in the sentence), or they are intentionally trying to deceive the K public, with the fact that most K can’t read Chinese to their advantage. In fact, there is no mention of Goguryeo ANYWHERE in that sentence, so any interpretation that involves Goguryeo in the controversial passage is almost certainly made up or a distortion. Now, onto the second part: X X [X斤 (新)] 羅 以 爲 臣 民 It is obvious that 斤羅 is just 新羅 (Korean kingdom of Silla, with the left side being rubbed off). 新羅以 爲 臣 民 is absolutely, without any doubt, means “Silla became a vassal state”. The question would be: who did the Silla became vassals to?
2/2 Here’s the image of the stele’s text. The controversial passage is near the top left, third column from the left. You can see that the passage is missing two characters (technically two and a half, but anyone can tell that the last 0.5 character is 新). With only two missing characters, there isn’t a lot to fill in the blanks. Most likely, the missing characters are something very trivial, and wouldn’t change the meaning of the sentence much. My personal interpretations are: 而 倭 以 辛 卯 年 來 渡 海 破 百 殘 之後 新 羅 以 爲 臣 民 The Japanese came in the year of Xinmao, and after invading Baekjae, made Silla their subjects OR 而 倭 以 辛 卯 年 來 渡 海 破 百 殘 以及 新 羅 以 爲 臣 民 The Japanese came in the year of Xinmao to invade Baekjae and make Silla their subjects There are of course, infinite possibilities of what the missing two characters are. However, knowing the Chinese language, I cannot think of any way that only two missing characters could change the entire meaning of the sentence to Goguryeo (which would come out of nowhere, as Goguryeo isn’t even mentioned in that sentence) came down and defeated the Japanese, while subjugating Silla. I don’t think there are two characters that are powerful enough to change the meaning so much! I read another similar post by another Quoran recently, except he is fluent in both Chinese and Vietnamese. Since Vietnam also abolished characters, Vietnamese could not read their history books either. This Chinese Quoran visited Vietnam’s historical sites, and claimed that the history told by the local Vietnamese guide did not always match up with what he read in the historical books on display at these historical sites. With the whole King Gwanggaeto Stele controversy (which really shouldn’t be controversial, as that passage is fairly straightforward), it makes me really doubt the authenticity and integrity of K historians, especially since K has a history of strong nationalism; and strong nationalism tends to correlate with distortion of certain elements of history.

Japan annexed Korea. I didn't have a war.
At the request of the Korean Empire, Japan signed the Japan's Annexation Treaty. This was legal. Unfortunately, Korea at that time was not in a situation where it could exist as an independent country. In a country that has no choice but to become a client state of the Qing dynasty or a Russian colony. South Korea has opted for annexation with Japan.
Japan is different from German. Because they never say sorry for the history. As a Korean, it is very sorrowful.. Many ones were killed, sexually slaved, etc. No one say sorry.. It makes us feel down..

If We are speaking about occupations, Pearl Harbor actually was not a US territory, It was invaded by US.
Japan attacked US military formation because ever since the 19th century US ships have bullied and blocked Japan from submitting to unfair treaties. The attack was morally justified but as mentioned by Admiral Yamamoto not wise. Along with the Soviet Union, the US committed the worst war crimes during WWII with its holocaust against the Japanese burning millions of thousands of Japanese civilians alive by firebombs and nuclear bombs

Exactly!!..Korea is known not only for k-pop and cosmetics but for their technology and other things also. And the things Japan did in Korea will never be forgiven.
Until the 1990s, Japan was like Germany. As the economy went into a prolonged recession, Japan again adopted totalitarianism as a strategy to quell people's dissatisfaction. It is a Japanese style ideology that has recently emerged as a totalitarian society based on democracy rather than totalitarianism based on militarism. The way it works is to incite hatred in the country around Japan and unite the people. The risk is too high to use Russia or China as an enemy, so an enemy the size of Korea is currently appropriate for Japan. Political decisions and opinions of ordinary citizens are different. just want you to know that..

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.

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.

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"

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.
"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.
Hello, Indian friend. I understand it is hard for you to believe but a lot of Korean histories are fabricated.
As for the comfort women, under Clinton & Bush administration, organization called ＩＷＧ investigated about the comfort women for 8 years sparing
$30M.No evidence for the comfort women, sexual slaves were found......Why they say they were? They kept having Japanese government compensate.
We fought together like Indian. Korean kids could go to school and sometime Korean could get a better position in the military.

Japan says it should be grateful for the unwarranted invasion of Korea because Japan built all of Korea's economic infrastructure. However, South Korea lost all of its economic facilities in the Korean War caused by the North's invasion. Korea started again from zero. Japan's absurd claim is that Japan should be grateful for the Korean War for the massive rise in Japan's economy as it procured large amounts of military supplies. Japan is a mean country. They do not educate their youth about this history.

The Japanese refer to those who fought for Korea's independence as terrorists. This is like the CCP lying that there was no oppression or detention in Tibet and Uyghurs. Those who cry for Tibet and Uyghur independence are called terrorists by the CCP.
"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.
The Japanese don't say such a thing. Where is the information?
@@momosaki_momoka 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.

A 38 year-old man beat a 95 year-old man to death
Published in Segye Ilbo (World Daily) on September 12, 2013
A man in his 30's beat a man in his 90's to death because the old man supported the Japanese rule of Korea. The court imposed a five year sentence on the assailant.
In May 2013, 38 year-old Mr. Hwang quarreled with 95 year-old Mr. Park in Chongmyo Park located in Chongno ward, Seoul, South Korea.
Mr. Park said, "I fondly recall the period of the Japanese rule. It was fortunate for Korea to have been ruled by Japan." Mr. Hwang could not control his temper. Mr. Hwang kicked Mr. Park, forcefully took his 80cm long walking stick supporting him and hit his face several times.
Mr. Park was taken to a hospital. He was diagnosed with cerebral hemorrhage and a fractured skull, which would take eight weeks to heal. Mr. Hwang was charged with assault after interrogation by police.
At first, the court categorized this case as a simple assault and entrusted it to the summary court. However, after Mr. Park died in the hospital, the situation changed.
The prosecutor attributed the death of Mr. Park to the assault by Mr.Hwang and changed the charge from assault to assault causing death. The case was also transferred to the district court where three judges presided over the trial.
On September 10th, Seoul District Court (chief judge Kim Young Gwan) ruled Hwang guilty of all charges and sentenced him to five years in prison.

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."

I lived in Tokyo for 2 years teaching English at the end of the 1980s, and I saw how monstrous the average Japanese citizen's attitude toward Korea & Korean immigrants was. The 20th c never made Japan pay the reparations it owed the Chinese, the Korean, Malay, Indonesians, and all the countries they subjugated. Hiroshima at least got Japan's attention. I hope their is still time for them to accept responsibility for the horrors they inflicted, before 21st c east and southeast Asians decide to deliver more attention getters....
Michael Zimmerman I'm Korean and what I want is just sincere apology and accepting their mistakes. Well, but... last 8/15 was a day when the japan lost the war and korea restored its freedom. But in the speech, the prime minister of Japan said no single word about apology or regret for thier mistakes that they commited to thier neighboring contries. Instead, some ministers and politicians go praying for thier generals who was excuted for war crime after the war. I'm very sad that Japan would invade others just after getting opportunity because not like Germany, it seems japan learned nothing in war.
@up Up indeed
It’s complicated. Reparations were paid, Japanese prime ministers and government officials apologized, and some funds were created to compensate victims, but there are ultra nationalists, historical whitewashing, and constant denial and justification going on in Japan, not to mention, shrines. I don’t think Japan gets to sweep WWII under the rug yet.
@flower Did Japanese government ever apologized to China? I seen a video of an ex-imperialist soldier that went to China and apologize. I can say he is much braver than his own government.
@N o s t r a d a m u s Ya Ya That makes me angry. 😣😣Many Japanese people are believing that during the colonized time, they indurstrized Korea, Indonesia for us lol. What kind of nuts are they? 😂🤣💁💁
This is informative and accurate video. Thank you.
This is a typical video based on the history rewritten by South Korea after the war. >>>"Around 200 thousand girls and women from Korea and China were forced into sexual slavery for Japanese soldiers." ????? ..........Is such an unrealistic story still being told? Why didn't anyone see 200,000 women being forcibly taken by the Japanese army? Of course, Japanese soldiers were neither magicians nor psychics. And It is well known that many former Korean comfort women changed the content of their testimonies. Why did they need to do so? In South Korea, the credibility of the testimonies of the former comfort women has never been verified. If you think about this problem with objective facts, common sense and a little imagination, you can easily get the right answer.

During Annexation (1910-1945)
"I first visited Korea in 1909 [1909-ed], 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 the 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 supplies to reasonable levels. They reforested the bleak hills. They established a general system of education and the development of skills. Even the dusty, drab and filthy clothing had been replaced with clean bright colors.
The Koreans, compared to the Japanese, were poor at administration and business. Whether for this reason or by deliberate action, the Japanese filled all major economic and governmental positions. Thus, in1948 when they finally achieved self-government, the Koreans were little prepared for it."

According to the main editorial by the Chief Editor of Choson Ilbo, the biggest newspaper in South Korea, on Mar 6, 2012, and Feb. 13, 2003, says, "Koreans lie as if they breathe” and “Koreans are the world’s biggest liar of all." Korea has the highest fraud rate and is the only country whose fraud rate exceeds that of robbery in OECD. Also, all of the perjury, calumny, and fraud rates in S Korea are some 160-670 times higher than those of Japan.
Your true history is too sad to teach that your government decided to teach you fantasies instead.
This is what President Hoover said after visiting Korean Peninsula before and after the annexation:
"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."
Ahh it was good ol' days of Korea. Wish Korea could turn back that time.
It should be remembered that during World War II, there was a lieutenant general from Korea who joined the Japanese army. The Imperial Japanese Army once had a lieutenant general from the Korean Peninsula named Hong Sa-Ik(洪思翊). He was not the only Korean who belonged to the Japanese military as an army officer. I think Koreans should learn the fact that many Koreans were involved in the rule of Korea by ”the Empire of Japan". They played a part in Japan's rule of Korea not only in the military but also in various administrative fields.
During the Japanese colonial period in Korean Peninsula, many Koreans received compulsory and higher education at government expense, and participated in the system of governance with the Japanese as bureaucrats, judges, prosecutors, police officers, and high-ranking military officers. Before 1945, there were many Koreans living in Japan, and adult males were given the right to vote regardless of whether they were Japanese or Korean. It is shameful for such Koreans to turn their back on Japan as soon as Japan lost the Pacific War to the U.S. and claim that they were one-sided victims of Japan's rule.
There was only one general, Hong Sa-ik, who was a non-royal Korean, and Koreans had limited employment and educational opportunities. It was impossible for Koreans to be promoted unless they enlisted in Manchukuo.
Most of the Korean companies established during the Korean Empire were sold to Japan at a bargain price, the land was selled to the Japanese rich, the Korean language was banned, and Japanese teachers were beaten with swords when they were caught using Korean, and judicial and economic discrimination against the Japanese continued.
There was no significant change in the literacy rate.
Only Korean collaborators were allowed to go to university, and even that was limited to literature and philosophy, and access to science, mathematics, and engineering was impossible.
Literature written in Korean was burned, and even the rights of citizens guaranteed by the Japanese Empire's constitution, let alone the right to vote, were denied. We call them slaves, not collaborators.
call Indonesians Dutch collaborators and Malays British collaborators.
During the Joseon Dynasty and the Korean Empire, education was available only to the upper classes. Under Japanese rule, the general population of the Korean peninsula was given educational opportunities for the first time, and literacy rates improved as people were able to attend school. Records show that the Governor-General of Korea issued a decree to adopt Hangul as a required subject. People from a class that could not even receive an education before the Japanese occupation, entered Japanese military academies and enlisted as officers in the Japanese and Manchukuo armies. A representative of this group was Park Chung-hee (朴正煕), who later became President of Korea.
Agricultural output on the Korean peninsula was low before the Japanese took over, and with the investment of Japanese technology and capital, Korea became a breadbasket. Nevertheless, about half of the landowners during the Japanese occupation were Koreans. Records also show that the number of businesses owned by Koreans increased during the Japanese colonial period than during the Korean Empire. In other words, there is no evidence that the Japanese wrongfully and unjustly expropriated land or businesses.
Whether or not Koreans were actually allowed to enroll in the engineering and medical faculties of Gyeongseong Imperial University（京城帝国大学） should be made clear by examining the student rosters of the time. If one is going to make the extreme claim that Koreans were only allowed to enroll in the literature and philosophy departments, one should check directly with primary historical sources. In addition to that, we should not forget the fact that many Koreans studied at universities in mainland Japan before 1945.
Before 1945, Japanese living on the Korean peninsula did not have the right to vote, as did Koreans, and both Japanese and Koreans had the right to vote equally as long as they were adult males living in the Japanese archipelago.
The Dutch government ruled Indonesia for several hundred years, but did not build a single school for the compulsory education of the general population. The same is true of the British government that colonized the Malay Peninsula. The Japanese government ruled the Korean peninsula for only 35 years, but built many schools from elementary school to university. It is a historical fact that many Koreans received primary to higher education there. This is because Koreans at that time were not Korean collaborators but Japanese citizens.

Who is victim? who is villain?
From the latest joint research between the US, Japan and Korea, the scientists have clarified that Japanese and Korean have different DNA.
As for Japanese emperor,
Unfortunately, Korean media misinterpreted that the Japanese emperor is a descendant of Korean royal, but truth is, Japanese Emperor Kōnin’s concubine was descended from the Baekje royal family. that’s all.
I'm really thankful to my ancestors for fighting to achieve independence despite the dangers of death and torture. If not for them... well, it wouldn't be the country I live in today.
"The annexation was forced upon Korea by Japan" is a lie
A lot of telegrams were sent by Iljinhoe (Korea's leading political party)that asked to be annex into Japan. Iljinhoe enjoyed the overwhelming majority among political parties
Japan fought for Korea's independence in the Sino-Japanese War and many Japanese soldiers died. Despite its independence, it was Korea that turned to its neighbours for help due to severe domestic corruption.

일한합방성명서(日韓合邦聲明書)
일한합방성명서에 따르면 한일 병합이라는 상황까지 오게 된 것은 다음 이유 때문이다. 청일 전쟁 때 일본이 거액의 군사비와 수만 명의 군사를 희생시켜 조선을 청나라로부터 독립시켜 주었는데도 정사를 어지럽힌 것은 조선 사람 스스로의 잘못 때문이다. 러일 전쟁 때도 일본이 다시금 러시아에 먹힐 뻔한 조선을 구출하고 동양 평화를 달성했으나, 이를 우의로 갚지 못하고 이 나라 저 나라에 붙었다가 결국 외교권을 넘겨주게 된 것도 조선 사람의 잘못이다. 그럼에도 호의로 대해주는 일본을 배신한 헤이그 밀사 사건으로 거듭 잘못을 저질러, 결국 한일신협약을 불러왔다.
정미7조약 체결 이후에는 마땅히 산업을 발전시키고 교육에 힘써야 하건만 "폭도와 비적"으로 표현된 의병 항쟁으로 정국이 혼란해졌으며, 권세와 이속을 다투면서 나라를 발전시키지 못했다. 게다가 대한제국을 위해 수고를 다한 은혜를 잊기 어려운 이토 히로부미를 하얼빈에서 저격하여 일본의 여론을 악화시켰다. 이대로 가다가는 5백년 사직이 폐허가 되고 2천만 백성도 하나도 남지 않게 될 비참한 지경이라는 것이 일진회의 인식이다. 국가의 재정도 바닥났으며 국가기밀도, 통신수단도, 법률도 한국인의 손에 없는 상황에서 나라의 운명이 죽음의 구렁텅이로 빠져가는 중이라는 것이었다.
따라서 결론은 일본의 여론이 주장하는 한일 병합을 대한제국 순종 황제와 메이지 천황이 받아들이도록 호소하는 것이 나라를 위한 길이라는 것이었다. 일진회는 한일 병합이 만번의 죽을 고비를 넘어 한 번 살아남을 길이며, 대한제국 백성이 일등 대우의 복리를 누리고 정부와 사회가 더욱 발전할 수 있는 근본적인 방도라고 주장했다. 만약에 이 기회를 이용하지 않으면 하늘의 신이 죄를 줄 것이기에 2천만 국민에게 맹세를 다지면서 이 뜻을 알린다며 끝을 맺었다.

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."
During the period of Japan's rule, half of Japanese taxpayers' money was spent on education, healthcare, industry and infrastructure in Korea
The books by Professor Atul Kohli make it clear that the common perception in the West -- the Japanese invaded Korea, exploited Korean people and committed atrocities -- is a myth.

"I, on my part, feel a certain kinship with Korea, given the fact that it is recorded in the Chronicles of Japan that the mother of Emperor Kammu was of the line of King Muryong of Paekche," the emperor, Akihito told reporters on DEC 28, 2001-- The Guardian
Kammu, reigned Japan from 781 to 806 AD, while Muryong ruled the Paekche Kingdom in Korea from 501 to 523 AD.
In Japan, the story proved hard to stomach. It was covered in detail only by the Asahi Shimbun. Other major newspapers either mentioned the Korean ancestry issue only in passing or ignored the statement altogether.

Hope all the Japanese people will be able to reach and learn the correct history and all the war crimes my country did ASAP not to repeat the same thing. History repeats when it’s forgotten..
This kind of people makes my heart warm and help me to restore my love for humanity. I'm Korean and I love Japanese who know history right and don't try to distort or hide it. I believe honest Japanese people who can admit their past mistakes and apologize will make an importantly positive contribution to the improvement of Korea-Japan relations
Korean people are strong
Thankyou for laying it all out
In this book Professor Soh accuses the pro-North activist group "Korean Council" (also known as Chong Dae Hyup 정대협 挺対協) for spreading the North Korean propaganda to block reconciliation between Japan and South Korea. Contrary to common belief, most Korean women were sold by their parents to Korean businessmen who owned and operated comfort stations. The Korean women were not the sex slaves of the Japanese military. Professor Soh insists that Korean society must repudiate victimization, admit its complicity and accept that the system was not criminal.
The following is an excerpt from her book "The Comfort Women." (Pages 10 - 11)
◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇
Kim Sun-ok
In an interview with Professor Chunghee Sarah Soh of San Francisco State University, a former Korean comfort woman Kim Sun-ok said that she was sold by her parents four times.
Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abducted by the Japanese military.
◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇
Mun Ok-chu
A former Korean comfort woman Mun Oku-chu said in her memoir:
"I was recruited by a Korean comfort station owner. I saved a considerable amount of money from tips, so I opened a saving account. I could not believe that I could have so much money in my saving account. One of my friends collected many jewels, so I went and bought a diamond. I often went to see Japanese movies and Kabuki plays in which players came from the mainland Japan. I became a popular woman in Rangoon. There were a lot more officers in Rangoon than near the frontlines, so I was invited to many parties. I sang songs at parties and received lots of tips. I put on a pair of high heels, a green coat and carried an alligator leather handbag. I swaggered about in a fashionable dress. No one in town could guess that I was a comfort woman. I felt very happy and proud. I received permission to return home, but I didn't want to go back to Korea. I wanted to stay in Rangoon."
According to Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University, Mun Oku-chu continued to work as a prostitute in Korea after the war.
Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abducted by the Japanese military.
◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇
Kim Hak-sun
In an interview with Korean newspaper The Hankyoreh (the artcile was published on May 15th, 1991) a former Korean comfort woman Kim Hak-sun said that she was sold by her mother.
In 1993 Kim Hak-sun told Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University, "My mother sent me to train as a Geisha (Kiseng 기생) in Pyongyang and then sold me."
Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abducted by the Japanese military.
◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇
Kim Gun-ja
In 1993 a former Korean comfort woman Kim Gun-ja told Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University, "I was sold by my foster father."
Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abducted by the Japanese military.
Kim Gun-ja also testified before United States House Committee on Foreign Affairs in 2007 and said she was abducted by the Japanese military.
◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇
Lee Yong-soo
In 1993 a former Korean comfort woman Lee Yong-soo told Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University, "At the time I was shabbily dressed and wretched. On the day I left home with my friend Kim Pun-sun without telling my mother, I was wearing a black skirt, a cotton shirt and wooden clogs on my feet. You don't know how pleased I was when I received a red dress and a pair of leather shoes from a Korean recruiter."
Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abducted by the Japanese military.
Lee Yong-soo also testified before United States House Committee on Foreign Affairs in 2007. She was told that she had five minutes to speak. She ignored the instruction and went on for over one hour putting on a performance of crying and screaming. Her false testimony resulted in the passage of United States House of Representatives House Resolution 121.
In 2017 Lee Yong-soo gave false testimonies before San Francisco City Council, which resulted in the erection of a comfort women statue in that city.
◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇
Moon Pil-ki
In 1993 a former Korean comfort woman Kil Won-ok told Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University, "I was sold by my parents."
Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abducted by the Japanese military.
◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇
According to several witnesses, Chong Dae Hyup (pro-North activist group) coached women to say "I was abducted by the Japanese military."
Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University says, "When I interviewed former comfort women in the early 1990s, none of them had anything bad to say about the Japanese military. They hated their parents who sold them and Korean comfort station owners who mistreated them. But after Chong Dae Hyup put them on its payroll, their testimonies had completely changed."
◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇
Sim Mi-ja
A former Korean comfort woman Sim Mi-ja who refused to be on Chong Dae Hyup's payroll said, "The Korean women, who testified before UN Special Rapporteur, lied on behalf of Chong Dae Hyup. They are swindlers"
◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇
Bae Chun-hee
In an interview with Professor Park Yuha of Sejong University in South Korea, a former Korean comfort woman Bae Chun-hee said she hated her father who sold her. She said that men who recruited Korean women and operated comfort stations were all Korean, and that Korean women who testified before UN Special Rapporteur lied on behalf of Chong Dae Hyup.
◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇
In wars, soldiers sometimes rape innocent women. To prevent this from happening, the Japanese military asked businessmen to recruit prostitutes and operate comfort stations (brothels). The following is the order the Japanese military sent to comfort station operators. It says "Do not recruit women against thier will. Only recruit willing prostitutes." Japanese businessmen followed the order and only recruited willing women in Japan. But Korean businessmen recruited both willing prostitutes and unwilling women in Korea. This is why some of former Korean comfort women are still unhappy while we hear little or no complaint from former Japanese comfort women. If Korean comfort station owners had followed the Japanese military's order, there wouldn't have been any comfort women issue.
The Japanese military was partly guilty because its invasion into China and Southeast Asia did create the demand for comfort women. But the Korean narrative -- the Japanese military showed up at the doors and abducted young Korean women -- just didn't happen. The Korean brothel operators (comfort station owners) capitalized on the demand, recruited Korean women, operated comfort stations and made lots of money. Japan has apologized for its part. South Korea should admit its complicity and stop demanding Japan for more apologies.

It is not true that Japan banned Korean. Far from being banned, I taught Korean in compulsory education. He also taught Korean culture, traditions and myths.
I'll put the source of the information here.
As you can see, it was not aimed at Western colonial policy and exploitation, but was trying to modernize Korea as part of Japan.

There is a big misunderstanding. Japan did not occupy Korea. Japan merged Korea. Korea had the risk of the aggression from the Soviet Union then, and Korean King Li ligatured the Treaty on Japan's annexation of Korea together in 1910, and does large Korea empire as a part of Great Japanese Empire literally, and Japan will govern it . Besides, Japan gave a Korean Japanese nationality and did various things including the high quality education ,build various buildings , infrastructure maintenance .
I only want you to know the real history.
What the current generation including me needs to know is what actually happened, a transparent history instead of each country’s dramatised stories, and how we overcame or compensated it.
Germany did a very right thing on this, and I hope Japanese government also can demonstrate that they are brave&cool enough to admit their past fault and move forward, instead of being involved in historical controversies forever.
Korean government, also they should be more active in teaching our past faults for SEA countries…
This S.K&JP historical facts have always been controversial bcs these 2 past governments made sort of unofficial agreements about compensation and keeping these issues secret area, etc,,
I hope we all learn from this mistakes,

You are correct. Transparent history education is necessary.
Germany finally apologized to Poland in 2019 but told them “we owe nothing.”
They also acknowledged massacre in Namibia this year but has not apologized for colonization.
Japan is only one country in the world who has apologized and paid compensation for both colonization and invasion.

It’s not history but anime.
he 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."

Moral standards
With regard to the moral standards, it has to be said that the Koreans are not very strict when it comes to mine and thine, they lie and cheat and that's why they can't be trusted. They are proud if they have cheated somebody and they don't think that's a disgrace. That's why they can undo the buy of a horse or a cow even after four months if it becomes clear that the buyer has been cheated. But the sale of a parcel ground or other immovable goods can only be undone if the conveyance has not taken place yet.
On the other hand the Koreans are very gullible. We could fool them with anything. This was particularly true for the monks, who liked to listen to stories about foreign countries and their people. Furthermore they are very cowardly, as it seemed what we have heard from reliable people concerning their behavior during the Japanese invasion, when their king was killed and a great number of cities and villages were destroyed. From Jan Janse Weltevree we heard that when the Tartarians came over the ice and occupied the country, more soldiers hanged themselves in the wood, than had been killed during the battle against the invaders. The Koreans don't consider this to be unworthy. They think that these people who commit suicide are pitiful people, who came into an emergency situation, in which they only could escape by committing suicide.
So it happened quite a few times that when Dutch, English or Portuguese ships on their way to Japan came into Korean waters, Korean war junks who wanted to take possession of these ships returned empty-handed to their base, because the persons on board did it in their trousers out of fear.
They can't see any blood. If a Korean gets wounded during a battle, the others don't know how quickly to leave the battlefield. They also have fear for diseases, especially contagious ones. As soon as somebody gets seriously ill, they take him out of his house, to put him in a small hut of straw, outside the city or village he lives in. Here nobody else visits him other than his next of kin, who brings him food and something to drink. Who doesn't have any next of kin, runs the big risk, in the case of a disease, to be left completely unattended in a hut like that. When somewhere an epidemic breaks out, the entrance to the house of the sick persons is blocked with thorn branches. On top of that they put thorn branches on the roof of the houses to mark them as such.

This is real…
It is similar to what I learned in Korea. Thank you for sharing.
Korea was not invaded,but annexed in accordance with international law.
In the past, Korea was economically bankrupted due to the current North Korea-like bad government of the autocratic royal family and aristocracy.
Therefore the Korean government finally had to choose the way of requesting Japan to annex Korea, thus the Korean Peninsula became Japanese territory and the people became Japanese citizens officially in 1910.
The current Koreans are trying to hide the true history of their ancestors by spreading propaganda to the world as if Japan invaded Korea with military power in order to avenge the ethnic grudge against Japan.
Far more Koreans were fighting as volunteers in the Japanese Imperial Army and over 20,000 are enshrined in the Yasukuni Shrine. More than 800,000 Koreans volunteered to serve in the Japanese military as part of the Japanese volunteer soldier system for Koreans during the years 1938-43, of which the Japanese accepted just under 18,000.
One of them was Park Chung-hee, later dictator and president of South Korea and the father of the anti-Japanese former president Park Guen-hye.
Koreans also served as guards in Japanese prisoner of war camps. 23 Koreans were executed by the allies as war criminals in post-war trials, including general Hong Sa-ik, who was a camp commander.
During the annexation 80% of the governors and police in Korea were Koreans. Korea was not a battlefield and Japanese soldiers were fighting on the battlefields of Asia and there were few left in Korea. There were very few Japanese soldiers left in Korea

Since the 4th century, Korea has taught ceramics, brushes, Chinese characters, Thousand Chinese characters, silk, shipbuilding techniques, embankments, iron weapons, and agricultural equipment manufacturing methods. Japan called korea the most prosperous country in the east in many deplomatic writings.
Japan just opened a port decades earlier by the United States, and fired cannons at South Korea to enforce the unequal treaty. Japan has been aggressive since the Iron Age or even more, and has always targeted the peninsula with its weakness of being an island country. Their claim of modernizing the peninsula is the theory of "colonial stagnant" which one of the things Japan insists on to conceal aggression
Japan was a war criminal in World War II after the 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor in Hawaii.

The cleansing of the Augean stable of the Korean official system,
which the Japanese had undertaken, was indeed an Herculean labor.
Traditions of honor and honesty, if they ever existed, had been forgotten
for centuries. Standards of official rectitude were unknown.
In Korea when the Japanese undertook the work of reform there were
but two classes, the robbers and the robbed, and the robbers included
the vast army which constituted officialdom.

There were a lot more officers in Rangoon than near the frontlines, so I was invited to many parties. I sang songs at parties and received lots of tips. I put on a pair of high heels, a green coat and carried an alligator leather handbag. I swaggered about in a fashionable dress. No one in town could guess that I was a comfort woman. I felt very happy and proud. I received permission to return home, but I didn't want to go back to Korea. I wanted to stay in Rangoon."
According to Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University, Mun Oku-chu continued to work as a prostitute in Korea after the war.

In an interview with Professor Park Yuha of Sejong University in South Korea, a former Korean comfort woman Bae Chun-hee said she hated her father who sold her. She said that men who recruited Korean women and operated comfort stations were all Korean, and that Korean women who testified before UN Special Rapporteur lied on behalf of Chong Dae Hyup.
◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇
In wars, soldiers sometimes rape innocent women. To prevent this from happening, the Japanese military asked businessmen to recruit prostitutes and operate comfort stations (brothels). The following is the order the Japanese military sent to comfort station operators. It says "Do not recruit women against thier will. Only recruit willing prostitutes." Japanese businessmen followed the order and only recruited willing women in Japan. But Korean businessmen recruited both willing prostitutes and unwilling women in Korea. This is why some of former Korean comfort women are still unhappy while we hear little or no complaint from former Japanese comfort women. If Korean comfort station owners had followed the Japanese military's order, there wouldn't have been any comfort women issue.
The Japanese military was partly guilty because its invasion into China and Southeast Asia did create the demand for comfort women. But the Korean narrative -- the Japanese military showed up at the doors and abducted young Korean women -- just didn't happen. The Korean brothel operators (comfort station owners) capitalized on the demand, recruited Korean women, operated comfort stations and made lots of money. Japan has apologized for its part. South Korea should admit its complicity and stop demanding Japan for more apologies.
9 September 1945, in the wake of World War II, the US occupation administration in Korea announced that the Japanese colonial government would remain intact. After massive outcry, they replaced some Japanese bureaucrats with Americans, but enlisted the deposed Japanese officials as "advisers".
Still . . . this shows the benefits of being with the Americans versus the Japanese . . . the Americans were probably trying to maintain some semblance of order after the devastation of war . . . after the "massive outcry" I think we know what the Japanese would have done. It would not have been good for Korea. Korea was able to move steadily toward a sovereign republic with the support of the U.S.

After Korea's liberation from Japan's colonial rule, Korea passed the anti-national act punishment law to punish pro-Japanese rebels, but most of them were Koreans who worked for the Japanese colonial rule. They were sentenced to property confiscation, imprisonment or death penalty.
Korea gained independence from Japan for the first time in 35 years, but another war broke out five years later by the United States and the Soviet Union
Japan, a bad country, separated its colony Russia from the Korean peninsula.
Destroyed the Lee Dynasty and destroyed his wonderful system.
Japan stole the world's most advanced technology from the Korean Peninsula, including technology for submarines and aircraft carriers.
This was published in books by the Portuguese and British who came to the Korean peninsula.
Korean history was distorted by post-war dictatorships.
“My voyage in Korea (M Eissler 1918)“ is written by british engineer in 1918 who lived in Korea. He said that Korean people it is certainly better than they’re ruled by Japan instead of corrupt oligarchy.
he also said since Japanese annexation the women’s status is raised to a higher level.
Former US president Hebert Hoover wrote in his book "Freedom Betrayed" about the Japanese occupation of South Korea History
Here is what is written on page 737 and 738 of Mr. Hoover’s book:
I first 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 supplies to reasonable levels. They reforested the bleak hills. They established a general system of education and the development of skills. Even dusty, drab and filthy clothing had been replace with clean bright colors.
The Koreans, compared to the Japanese, were poor at administration and business. Whether for this reason or by deliberate action, the Japanese filled all major economic and governmental positions. Thus, in 1948, when they finally achieved self-government, the Koreans were little prepared for it.”
nice video!
If you look only at Treaty of Shimonoseki from the first Sino-Japanese war, you might wrongly think Japan is a friend of Korea and they fight for Korean people. 'Article 1: China recognizes definitively the full and complete independence and autonomy of Korea, and, in consequence, the payment of tribute and the performance of ceremonies and formalities by Korea to China, that are in derogation of such independence and autonomy, shall wholly cease for the future.' (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treaty_of_Shimonoseki)
The reason why Qing and Japan fought a war in the first place was to occupy Joseon. At that time, the Qing Dynasty had a huge influence on Joseon, and Japan tried to have Joseon. Japan and China fought to have Joseon. If China recognizes Korea as an independent country and no longer exerts influence, Japan will be able to make Joseon Japan's. In other words, Japan did not sign such a treaty to help Joseon. Your comments are the same as the advocates of Japanese imperialism claim. They say that Korea should thank Japan for helping Korea. It was the most painful wound and pain for Koreans. I'm just curious about their brain structure🤨😐
@@shinci8562 Well, if you read my comments carefully, you will find 'you might WRONGLY think Japan is a friend of Korea and they fight for Korean people.'
@@shinci8562 Of course it's not all rosy, being colonised will never be a wonderful experience for those who are at the receiving end of it. But Korea at least did gain many valuable things as a direct/indirect result of the Japanese colonisation, that many other colonised nations in Asia were deprived of.
*Infrastructures.* Although you can argue that many of them were destroyed during the Korean War, still you can't denied that the Japanese had indeed built roads, hospitals, improved the sanitations (I've personally read plenty of academic literatures in regard to this one), or at least in general tried to improve the quality of lives of their colonial subjects.
*Education.* The vast majority of Koreans that were born in 1905 and afterwards irregardless of their caste were literate (it's a well known fact that only the aristocrats, literati, artisans, and merchants were litirate in the Joseon era, which made up a very small proportions of the Korean populations as compared to its illiterate *serfs),* even if the majority of them had only received the most basic of education. This and the generations of highly literate young people that came after were one of the main reason that the 'Miracle on the Han river' had went as smoothly as it was.
Now compare them to the likes of the Philippines, Indonesia, Vietnam, etc. and you'll find that Korea is actually quite lucky to have had Japan as its coloniser. Also, considering the activity of the Russian Empire in the far east by the end of the 19th century, Korea might had a lucky escape on this one.
@@MrBlabax Japan did not occupy the old Joseon Dynasty. They colonized the Korean Empire, which was in the midst of industrialization by embracing Western culture. You don't know Korean history.
@@yurtnara3767 They were modernising, true, albeit a little too late and in a very slow pace (due to the traditionalists in the Joseon court that were subservient to the Manchu).
To have a better understanding of why Korea lost its sovereignty to the Japanese in the early 20th century, you must not restrict yourself to reading only *Korean* history. If you've read the geopolitical history of the far east in the 19th century without any bias, you will definitely agree with me that it was either Japan or Russia that will have eventually come to dominate the Korean peninsula.
japani government should be apologizing for Korean people 🙏the history now still hurts 😢lot

(K=Korean)
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 K from his visit there in 1922. The following are excerpts from his book "The New Korea" published in 1926.
-
It is true that at the time Japan annexed K 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 K race, but to the stupidity and corruption which had characterized the government of the K dynasty, and to the existence of a royal court which maintained a system of licensed cruelty and corruption throughout K. Such was the misrule under which the K 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 K, 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 K which has developed under the wise and sympathetic guidance of Governor-General Saito. At the time of my own visit to K 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 K 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 K.
The general consensus of opinion in K in 1922 was that Governor-General Saito had been animated by a sincere desire to rule K 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 K.
Discussing K 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 K 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 K and the Japanese.

Comment from Taiwanese.
[When, how and why did Chinese characters fall into decline in Korea(K)? What are some consequences of this?]
Others have already given good posts on the history of why Chinese characters eventually disappeared from K. It is fine with me if K wants to abolish Chinese characters, as that is their language after all.
However, I do want to talk about one of the consequences of abolishing Chinese characters. As a result, your average K cannot read their historical books, and as such, must rely on K historians to translate their historical writings into hangeul. This has the unfortunate result of allowing nationalistic K historians to distort history as they please, since the K public wouldn’t be able to know if they are distorting history.
I was reading up on the K King Gwanggaeto, when I came across a Wikipedia article on King Gwanggaeto’s stele. The stele is a dedication to King Gwanggaeto of Goguryeo, and it is currently located in China. However, there is a part of the stele that is causing controversies between K and Japanese historians.
Since the stele is almost 2000 years old, it is to be expected that some parts of the stele is less than perfect. Some of the writing has been rubbed out, which can cause some controversies and misunderstandings.
As per Wikipedia, the most controversial statement is this line:
而 倭 以 辛 卯 年 來 渡 海 破 百 殘 X X [X斤 (新)] 羅 以 爲 臣 民
The debate is between K and Japanese scholars on what that line means. Japanese scholars argued that the line reads: “In the Xinmao* year, the Japanese crossed the seas and invaded Baekjae, while subjugating Silla as a vassal state”. However, K scholars argue that the “Japanese crossed the sea, but Goguryeo defeated them, and later made Silla a vassal state.” Another interpretation is that Goguryeo crossed the sea and defeated the Japanese, while subjugating both Baekjae and Silla.
*Xinmao is a traditional Chinese way of measuring years. It’s hard to explain this in one post, but think of it as the Chinese way of counting years, as oppose to the Christian way of counting years using AD/BC.
I don’t know how many K really believe that Goguryeo defeated the Japanese, but many years ago, there was a K history drama called King Gwanggaeto the Great. I remember clearly that one episode showed King Gwanggaeto crossing the sea and subjugated the Japanese pirates that were harassing K’s shores, so this means that at least some K nationalists believe this.
As someone who actually speaks Chinese at a native level, let me emphasize that the K historians’ interpretation of the stele is absurd. Let’s look at the passage again:
而 倭 以 辛 卯 年 來 渡 海 破 百 殘 X X [X斤 (新)] 羅 以 爲 臣 民
I can say with 100% confidence that the first half 而 倭 以 辛 卯 年 來 渡 海 破 百 殘 translates to “The Japanese, in the year of Xinmao, crossed the ocean to invade Baekjae”. I know sometimes ancient Chinese can be very context heavy and weird, but this sentence is surprisingly straightforward. There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that it was the Japanese (and not Goguryeo) who crossed the seas; and that the Japanese did invade Baekjae. The K historians who argue otherwise either do not understand Chinese (which is understandable. Chinese and K grammar are completely different, particularly in where the verb is placed in the sentence), or they are intentionally trying to deceive the K public, with the fact that most K can’t read Chinese to their advantage. In fact, there is no mention of Goguryeo ANYWHERE in that sentence, so any interpretation that involves Goguryeo in the controversial passage is almost certainly made up or a distortion.
Now, onto the second part: X X [X斤 (新)] 羅 以 爲 臣 民
It is obvious that 斤羅 is just 新羅 (Korean kingdom of Silla, with the left side being rubbed off). 新羅以 爲 臣 民 is absolutely, without any doubt, means “Silla became a vassal state”. The question would be: who did the Silla became vassals to?
2/2
Here’s the image of the stele’s text. The controversial passage is near the top left, third column from the left. You can see that the passage is missing two characters (technically two and a half, but anyone can tell that the last 0.5 character is 新). With only two missing characters, there isn’t a lot to fill in the blanks. Most likely, the missing characters are something very trivial, and wouldn’t change the meaning of the sentence much. My personal interpretations are:
而 倭 以 辛 卯 年 來 渡 海 破 百 殘 之後 新 羅 以 爲 臣 民
The Japanese came in the year of Xinmao, and after invading Baekjae, made Silla their subjects
OR
而 倭 以 辛 卯 年 來 渡 海 破 百 殘 以及 新 羅 以 爲 臣 民
The Japanese came in the year of Xinmao to invade Baekjae and make Silla their subjects
There are of course, infinite possibilities of what the missing two characters are. However, knowing the Chinese language, I cannot think of any way that only two missing characters could change the entire meaning of the sentence to Goguryeo (which would come out of nowhere, as Goguryeo isn’t even mentioned in that sentence) came down and defeated the Japanese, while subjugating Silla. I don’t think there are two characters that are powerful enough to change the meaning so much!
I read another similar post by another Quoran recently, except he is fluent in both Chinese and Vietnamese. Since Vietnam also abolished characters, Vietnamese could not read their history books either. This Chinese Quoran visited Vietnam’s historical sites, and claimed that the history told by the local Vietnamese guide did not always match up with what he read in the historical books on display at these historical sites.
With the whole King Gwanggaeto Stele controversy (which really shouldn’t be controversial, as that passage is fairly straightforward), it makes me really doubt the authenticity and integrity of K historians, especially since K has a history of strong nationalism; and strong nationalism tends to correlate with distortion of certain elements of history.
