Historic vids氏による日本の朝鮮植民化についてのポストと反響

Historic Vids @historyinmemes

In 1904, a Korean couple resided in Seoul, South Korea. Just six years later in 1910, Japan would colonize Korea, initiating a devastating assault on Korean culture. They banned the use of the Korean language and the teaching of Korean history in schools and universities. Japanese soldiers destroyed over 200,000 Korean historical documents. Koreans were also coerced into deforestation and the cultivation of non-native plants, altering the landscape and fueling rapid urbanization, all in support of Japan's expansion into China and the Pacific. As the late 1930s brought wartime mobilization against China, many Korean men were conscripted to fight on the front lines, while tens of thousands of Korean women were forced into servitude as "comfort women." By 1939, the Japanese government mandated Korean families to adopt Japanese surnames, with nearly 80% complying. Those who resisted found themselves unrecognized by the state, unable to send or receive mail or receive ration cards. The Japanese surrender on August 15, 1945, left Korea in chaos, occupied by American and Soviet forces who failed to agree on a unified Korea. On June 25, 1950, North Korean forces, backed by the Soviet Union and China, crossed the 38th parallel, sparking the Korean War. During the conflict, Seoul changed hands four times, resulting in the deaths of 3 million people, mostly civilians. To this day, North and South Korea remain technically at war. Less known is the tragic fate of 40,000 to 50,000 Koreans who perished due to atomic bombs. Many were forcibly taken to Hiroshima and Nagasaki and compelled to work as laborers against their will.

In 1907, the Japanese government passed the Newspaper Law which effectively prevented the publication of local papers. Only the Korean-language newspaper Daehan Maeil Shinbo (大韓毎日新報) continued its publication, because it was run by a foreigner named Ernest Bethell. For the first decade of colonial rule, therefore, there were no Korean-owned newspapers whatsoever, although books were steadily printed and there were several dozen Korean-owned magazines. In 1920 these laws were relaxed, and in 1932 Japan eliminated a significant double standard which had been making Korean publication significantly more difficult than Japanese publication. Even with these relaxed rules, however, the government still seized newspapers without warning: there are over a thousand recorded seizures between 1920 and 1939. Revocation of publishing rights was relatively rare, and only three magazines had their rights revoked over the entire colonial period. In 1940, as the Pacific War increased in intensity, Japan shut down all Korean language newspapers again.

Following the annexation of Korea, the Japanese administration introduced a public education system modeled after the Japanese school system with a pyramidal hierarchy of elementary, middle and high schools, culminating at the Keijō Imperial University in Keijō. As in Japan itself, education was viewed primarily as an instrument of "the Formation of the Imperial Citizen" (황민화; 皇民化; Kōminka) with a heavy emphasis on moral and political instruction. Japanese religious groups such as Protestant Christians willingly supported the Japanese authorities in their effort to assimilate Koreans through education.

@historyinmemes Given the devastating history and repercussions of war, particularly as evidenced in Korea's tumultuous past, can we truly justify the use of atomic bombs, even if framed within the context of ending conflicts?

The Japanese occupation of Korea comprises part of the expansion of the Empire of Japan in which Korea was under Japanese rule as a colony for almost 35 years (August 22, 1910 to August 15, 1945), for almost all of the first half of the 20th century until the Japanese surrender in World War II, a few years before the Korean War. Japan's intrusion into Korea's internal affairs began with the 1876 Kanghwa treaty signed with Korea's Joseon dynasty, escalated after the 1895 assassination of Queen Myeongseong, known as "Queen Min," and with the Treaty of Portsmouth of 1905 that ended the Russo-Japanese War. The peninsula was occupied and declared a Japanese protectorate by the Eulsa Treaty of 1905, and was later annexed by the Korea-Japan annexation treaty in 1910. The 1905 and 1910 treaties were declared invalid by South Korea and Japan in 1965. In Korea, this period is commonly referred to as the Japanese Imperial Period (Hangul: 일제시대; Hanja: 日帝時代; Korean Revised Romanization: Ilje Sidae). Other terms include Japanese Forced Occupation (Hangul, 일제강점기; Hanja, 日帝强占期; Korean Revised Romanization, Ilje Gangjeomgi) and Wa Administration (Hangul, 왜정; Hanja, 倭政; Korean Revised Romanization, Wae jeong). In Japan, the most common term is Joseon in the period ruled by Japan 日本統治時代の朝鮮 (Nippon Tōchi-jidai no Chōsen?) In May 1910, the Japanese Minister of War, Terauchi Masatake, was given the mission to end Japanese control over Korea after previous treaties (the Japan-Korea treaty of 1904 and the Japan-Korea treaty of 1907) had made Japan Korea a protectorate of Japan and had established Japanese hegemony over Korean domestic politics. On August 22, 1910, Japan effectively annexed Korea with the 1910 Japan-Korea treaty signed by Ye Wanyong, Prime Minister of Korea, and Terauchi Masatake, who became the first Japanese Governor-General of Korea. The treaty entered into force the same day and was published a week later. The treaty stipulated: -Article 1: His Majesty the Emperor of Korea fully and definitely grants all his sovereignty over all Korean territory to His Majesty the Emperor of Japan. -Article 2: His Majesty the Emperor of Japan accepts the concession established in the previous article and consents to the annexation of Korea to the Empire of Japan. Both the protectorate and the annexation treaties were declared void in the 1965 treaty on Basic Relations between Japan and the Republic of Korea. This period is also known as the Military Police Reign Era (1910–19) in which the police had the authority to govern the entire country. Japan was in control of the media, the law, and the government through physical power and regulations. In March 2010, 109 of Korea's leading intellectuals and 105 of their Japanese peers met on the 100th anniversary of the 1910 Japan-Korea treaty and declared the annexation treaty null and void. They made these statements in each of their capital cities (Seoul and Tokyo) at a press conference. They announced that "the Japanese empire pressed the protest of the Korean Empire and people and was forced by the Japan-Korea treaty of 1910 and the entire text of a treaty was false and the text of the agreement was also false." Furthermore, they announced that the "process and formality of the Japan-Korea treaty of 1910" had a major deficiency, and therefore this treaty was void. This meant that the March 1st Movement was not an illegal movement.

Japanese abuses During the Japanese occupation of Korea, many Koreans were victims of various war crimes. Korean peasants who hid or provided refuge to the resistance were cruelly punished, often with immediate execution, rape, forced labor, looting, or starvation. Japan experimented with the first biological weapons, on other Asian towns, and with the Koreans at Squad 731, a secret medical experimentation facility on live humans.Korea's forced labor quota translates to 450,000 in property. from Japan. During World War II, women taken to Japanese military brothels were referred to as "comfort women." Historians estimate that the number of comfort women ranged from 10,000 to 200,000, and even included Japanese women. Victims' testimonies include cases involving Japanese officials and local collaborators kidnapping or recruiting poor rural women from Korea and other nations for sexual slavery under the promise of factory jobs. There is evidence that the Japanese government intentionally destroyed official reports on "comfort women". Japanese employee sheets and battlefield inventory records show documentation of government-sponsored sexual slavery. For example, names of identified comfort women appear on Japanese job cards. One of them was falsely classified as a nurse along with at least a dozen other comfort women who ultimately turned out to be neither nurses nor secretaries. Currently, the South Korean government continues to investigate hundreds of cases on those lists. Colonial Korea was subject to the same Leprosy Prevention Acts of 1907 and 1931 as the Japanese islands. These laws directly and indirectly allowed the segregation of patients in sanatoriums, where forced abortion and sterilization were common practices. The laws authorized the punishment of patients who "disturbed the peace", as many Japanese leprologists believed that vulnerability to the disease was hereditary. In Korea many of the patients were also forced into forced labor.

@historyinmemes Korean history is very sad due to the many occupations they’ve endured. Highly recommend “Pachinko” by Min Jin Lee for some perspective of Korean life during Japanese occupation and through the end of WW2.

@jpvegas21 @historyinmemes Between 1910 and 1945, Japan worked to wipe out Korean culture, language and history.

@historyinmemes The twists and turns of history sure know how to pack a punch – from colonial woes to wartime struggles, it's like a rollercoaster ride no one signed up for.

Time Capsule Tales @timecaptales

The Korean Liberation Army was formed in 1941. Comprising of Korean nationalists and exiled resistance fighters, the KLA worked alongside Chinese and Allied forces, fighting for Korean independence from Japanese rule. The KLA received military training, equipment, and financial support from China and other Allied countries. General Ji Cheong-cheon played a crucial role in training and organizing the KLA’s military efforts.

for the nerds like me: In 1910, Japan officially annexed Korea, and the Korean royal family became Japanese aristocrats. The Japanese governors implemented its assimilationist policies gradually at first, deploying Kenpeitai, the Japanese military police, to forcefully rule the area in the 1910s. Before 1944, enlistment in the Imperial Japanese Army by ethnic Koreans was voluntary and highly competitive. From a 14% acceptance rate in 1938, it dropped to a 2% acceptance rate in 1943 while the raw number of applicants increased from 3000 per annum to 300,000 in just five years during World War II. From 1939, labor shortages in Japan resulting from the conscription of Japanese males led to official efforts to recruit Koreans to work in Japan, initially through civilian agents and later through coercion. The Korean War resulted in the deaths of 3 million people, mostly civilians. Seoul changed hands four times during the conflict...
