Colonization of Korea

Continue to the last post, i'd like to show you why I disagree with the statement "revolt is the only way out of the colonial situation"

Colonization of Korean

Outright control by Japanese began on February 1, 1906. The Resident-General was invested with full authority in regard to Korea's diplomacy, domestic administration and military affairs. Through the Council for Improvement of Korean Administration, he pressed the Korean government to accept Japan's aggressive policy in the fields of finance, banking, agriculture, forestry, mining, transportation, education, culture, jurisprudence, internal security, local administration and the royal household. <http://www.asianinfo.org>

 

Japan colonized Korea, since they need natural resources and assistance in World War II. There were lots of revolt in Korea. For instance, on October 26, 1909, An Jung-geun assassinated Ito Hirobumi, the first Prime minister of Japan. On March 1, 1919, all of Korean students and people shouting for the independence in every single road, which is 3.1 Independence Movement. Like these two examples, Korean tried lots of ways for independent. However, none of them works. They only showed their spirit. Korea became independence after American nuclear weapon dropped in Japan in middle of 1945.

Even though there was a revolt, Korean could not be independent if Japan won WWII.
