	History of Korea (1900–1950) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Korea continued to be ruled by Japan until Japan's surrender to the Allied Forces on 15 August 1945.
		Korea's underground resources were also taken advantage of at this time through the conscription of Koreans to work in mines connected to various railroads, all built by Japanese companies.
		As the Japanese were attempting to assimilate Korea into the Empire of Japan, classes were taught in Japanese during the early years of the annexation period.

	Korean-Japanese disputes - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Korea was annexed by Japan between 1910 and 1945, and Koreans generally view this period as one of brutal exploitation and suppression of Korean culture.
		Japanese politicians have issued broadly worded apologies many times, and Japan signed a reparations treaty with South Korea in 1965, but Koreans see Japan's actions on various issues listed here as evidence of a lack of sincerity, and continue to call for sincere repentance and full reparations for victims.
		The two Koreas say that the name "East Sea" (or the "East Sea of Korea" in North Korea's case) should be the official name instead of, or at least concurrently with, "Sea of Japan".

	Encyclopedia: Period of Japanese Rule (Korea)
		On August 22, 1910, Japan forcibly usurped Korea by the so-called Korea-Japan Annexation Treaty and the Japanese Resident-General in Korea became the Governor-General of Korea.
		Korea's underground resources were also exploited at this time by conscripting Koreans to work in mines connected to various railroads, all built by Japanese companies.
		Efforts by the "Provisional Government of the Republic of Korea" to establish control over Korea at the conclusion of the war were resisted and ultimately stopped by both United States and Soviet occupation authorities.

		This is a reflection of the dastardly stand of the Japanese authorities accustomed to currying favour with their master from long ago and a crafty trick to conceal their true colours as war accomplice.
		From Korea's liberation from Japanese rule in 1945 to the outbreak of the 1950-53 Korean War, Seoul, in the eyes of North Koreans, was the principal city and capital on the Korean peninsula.
		Subdued by Japanese colonial rule, Korea was immersed in the process of rapid and painful change that urged nationalism-inclined Korean intellectuals to sum up the lessons of the national past and discover a way for their country's successful development in the future.

	[ks-open] Re: Democracy during Japanese Occupation??? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		There were similar instances in Korea, although I wouldn't go so far as to say that these (or for that matter, those in Taiwan) "planted the seed of democracy." Andrew Nahm's history of Korea gives a decent overview of how much democracy was allowed in Korea and for Koreans.
		Had Korea and Taiwan not been liberated from Japan, they were to receive representation in the Japanese Diet from 1946.
		Still, given the forced occupation of the country, the suppression of dissent before 1919 and in the war period, etc., one could hardly label the policies of the government-general progressive enough to credit them with planting the seeds of democracy.

		But if the Japanese government likes the response, it could be used as the basis for a more general official apology for Japanese conduct during the war.
		South Korean newspapers welcomed the Japanese apology, with the Chosun Ilbo calling it a "significant event" and the Jong-ang Ilbo saying it had "special meaning" because it was focused on Korea rather than a general statement.
		Still, the resentments in Korea run deep, and many Koreans want to see not just words but also a broad effort by Japan to pay official compensation to Koreans who were war-time sex slaves of the imperial army or who were forced laborers constructing tunnels and doing other work in Japan for the war effort.

		After the Japanese occupation of Korea in 1910, Korean immigrants in America regarded themselves as exiles--a passion that tied Koreans in a single cause.
		Even those who were not political refugees had relatives who suffered under the Japanese occupation of Korea, and still others had to abandon plans to return home.
		Japanese occupation riveted immigrant Koreans' attention to news of conditions in the homeland and filled them with such a sense of loss that many did not engage fully with their situation in America.

	Attempt to Twist History of Japan's Occupation of Korea
		The "five-point treaty of 1905," which the Japanese imperialists claimed to be a basic document that provided for their occupation of Korea, did not have any legal justification as it was of their own making.
		But the Japanese side gave different titles to it such as "Japan-Korea agreement", "new Japan-Korea agreement" and the "treaty on negotiations between Japan and Korea." The "treaty" also contained criminal points that called for depriving Korea of diplomatic rights and interfering in her internal affairs.
		Branding the Japanese imperialists as the aggressor who occupied Korea by force of arms, the article concludes that the Japanese reactionaries can never twist the history of their military occupation of Korea.
