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

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

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.

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..

"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.

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.

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. pope "Japan's actions are not aggression. Japan is trying to protect China (China). Japan is fighting to end communism. As long as communism exists, Catholic churches and believers around the world should be free to cooperate with the Japanese military.

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.

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."

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.

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.

[@prunprun3803]

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.

[@kyarib]

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.

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 .

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)

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.

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.

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?

[@kaorin5236]

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.

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.

@@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.

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.

The relationship between Korea and Japan spans centuries, but prior to the Japanese occupation of Korea, it's important to understand why Korea was annexed by Japan. One of the main reasons is because Korea could not govern itself. In the late 19th century, Korea had been de facto ruled by the Qing dynasty. It was only after Japan had defeated China in the Sino-Japanese war, Japan proclaimed Kore as an independent nation free from the Qing dynasty rule. However, even after this proclamation, Korea was not able to establish effective government on its own. Because of Koreas was seen as weak, nations such as Britain and US agreed to let Japan protect Korea from invasion, specifically from Russia. Also, Japan did not want to be raided by China or Russia via the Korean peninsula. While many point out atrocities, it's also true that Japan helped to modernize Korea by allocating money to build roads, railroads, schools, hospitals, dams, factories that did not exist on Korea. When both countries singed a treaty to officially end the the Japanese rule in 1965, Japan paid Korea $300 million and $200 million in low interest loan, which would be worth $5 billion today. This was to compensate the Korean people for their suffering and damages. At the time, Japan proposed to settle individual grievances, but Korea insisted on nation to nation compensation and that the Korean government would take care of her people, which really didn't happen, as the money was spent on industrialization of Korea.

The main problem with Korean history education is that it positions Koreans as one-sided victims of Japan's colonial rule. Koreans at the time were victims of discrimination by the Japanese, and also participated in the colonial governance system by being part of the military and administrative organizations. For evidence of this, check out the biographies of the leaders of the early days of the Republic of South Korea. Many of them, including the president of Korea 朴正煕(Park Jung-hee), were involved in the Japanese system of governance during the colonial era. The foundation of the Republic of Korea was laid by people who were trained during the Japanese colonial period in all fields, including the military, police, administration, and education. That is why I cannot agree with Koreans who only emphasize the damage caused by the policies of the Government-General of Korea.

Four Differences Between German Government and Japanese Prime Minister Abe's Attitudes as war criminals who have slaughtered countless human beings 1. Germany: The history of Germany during World War II, including the Nazi issue, was a disgraceful, anti-humanitarian act and should continue to apologize and reflect unconditionally on its neighbor. Japan: During World War II, Japan's military action was a proud act representing Asia, and there was no unfair action, and it is the neighbor's fault to continue to force it, although conditional apologies can be made to the neighboring country. 2. France will be representative, but if it turns out that they have cooperated with the Nazis, not only right after World War II, but also until now, they will be punished by law. Prison is basic and executed right after the war. Currently in Germany, just believing in the Nazis or using the flag (Hakenkreuz) is legally punished. Japan glorifies the Rising Sun Flag by animating, designing clothes, and using it as a cheering flag. 3. The place where the German Nazis massacred Jews (e.g., Auschwitz) teaches the Nazis' faults, preferably to the German people, and recognizes that they are clearly wrong. So most German citizens are aware of the Nazi's wrong history in adulthood because they learn it all in elementary, middle and high school curricula. Japan does not intentionally teach modern and contemporary history and Japanese war crimes during World War II. If that part is mentioned, each museum or education incorrectly informs us that it is a proud history of conquest and advancement (not invasion). The museum in the Yasukuni Shrine, where war criminals are deified and worshiped, teaches in that way. 4. Like most previous German prime ministers, Merkel has a reflective attitude toward Germany's past. He constantly apologized to Poland and neighboring countries, and when he met Abe, he indirectly criticized Abe's attitude toward neighboring countries.

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.”

This is my personal impression, but the content of this video is a historical story created by Koreans that is ideal for Korea. Koreans enjoyed great benefits from Japan's annexation of Korea. In particular, with the help of successful agricultural reform, during the 36-year rule of the "Japanese Empire", the population remarkably increased from 10 million to 24 million. Furthermore, the average life expectancy of the Korean population has increased dramatically from 24 years to 45 years. The Office of the Governor General of Korea annually spent 18% to 20% of the tax money paid by Japanese citizens, investing it in the establishment of Korean infrastructure. While the Taiwanese achieved their own economic self-sufficiency in ten years, the Koreans remained dependent on financial support from Japan for 36 years during the Governor General's administration. It is a vital fact that the Japanese were the ones exploited many but korean were not exploited. Since Japan was vanquished by the Allied forces in the World War II, Korea’s attitude towards Japan abruptly changed from amicable, to haughty, and began to embody the population that the Annexation was the most atrocious and genocidal Colonization. The era of Syngman Rhee, the first president of South Korea, the pro-Japanese were severely suppressed and there was no freedom of speech. It is said that the historical facts of Japan's annexation of Korea were greatly distorted during this period. The Republic of Korea (South Korea)’ consecutive governments have deceived its people and told lies about the Annexation as an unforgivable and brutal Colonization. The successive Korean governments misused its peoples’ emotion for its own political advantages. Camouflaging their lies and with covert intentions, successive South Korean governments have boldly brainwashed its people to have a vengeful view of the Annexation and Japan. Thus, Anti-Japan Shamanism has become the axis national ideology and identity of South Korea and South Koreans are united on that platform. Many scholars in Japan support this historical perception. The number of scholars who support it is increasing in South Korea as well.

Not only were they totally dependent on precious tax money that the Japanese people paid, but they also cunningly confiscated all the facilities which had been constructed with Japanese capital and stole the Japanese people’s assets when Japan was finally defeated in the War. Furthermore, even after the joint communiqué issued by Japan and the Republic of Korea in 1998, Korea accepted $3 billion in aid from Japan. And they are still asking for more and more, almost in the form of blackmail. How can such unreasonable demands be tolerated?

[@IsabelKumiY]

French descriptive geographer Jacque Puzeau-Masabuo writes in his book New Korean Situation: “In the eyes of the present-day Koreans, the negative side of the Japanese colonial days looms very large as undeniable breach of the tradition and independence, but on other hand the foundation for remarkably growing the national economy of North and South Koreas was established during this very period, and nobody can deny the great fruits borne consequently. In nearly forty years Japan rigorously changed the poor agricultural country, exposed to constant natural threats and without any effective means and equipment of engineering, into a well-balanced economic nation boasting scientific agriculture, various industries, and prosperous trades.”

[@IsabelKumiY]

@@TmactoKobe The entire Korean Peninsula suffered from chronic famines. On the other hand, when the Japanese started to reclaim barren land which Korean farmers had up to now totally neglected, they turned deserted, remote land into rich fields, making Korea a fertile agricultural country. The Office of the Governor-General of Korea conducted a large-scale land survey in order to establish land management and tax systems, and also implemented several reforms. Korean farmers had been so thoroughly discouraged by dire exploitation from the Korean liang pan and merciless officials that it became an urgent task to awaken their self-motivation. Emphasizing the three slogans “love labor, become self-independent, and express gratitude,” they made ardent efforts to revitalize farming villages. As part of agricultural policy and land reform, farmers were well supported with grants to encourage farming, and the quality and quantity of farm products were stabilized. As a result, Korea succeeded in doubling its rice crop, an unprecedented level. Up until that time, the rice crop in the Peninsula had never exceeded 10 million Koku (one Koku is roughly equivalent to 180 liters), but in the 1930s, twenty years after the union of Japan and Korea, the rice crop consistently exceeded 20 million Koku. The amount of Korean rice exported to Japan was 110,000 Koku at the time of the annexation, but 18 years later, in 1928, the amount reached 7.06 million Koku. From then on, the amount of rice export continued to increase, until the amount threatened domestic Japanese rice farmers. Thanks to those efforts made by Japan, Korea became far richer with a population increase of 2.4-fold. How would it have been possible to raise more children and support a family if they had been poverty-stricken and very little food was available?

[@luluflowers9277]

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.

In the first place Japan had never fought against Korea to annex. Before Sino-Japanese war, Japan offered Qing-China to release Korea as an independency. Because Korea had been a slavish dependency of China for 1000 years long. Korea had not diplomacy and extreme weak. If Korea was as it was, Russia must annex Korea at last. Japan had have to let Korea as modernized and strong country as well as Japan. But China had never accepted Japan's persuasion . So Sino-Japanese war occurred in 1894, and Japan won China in 1894. Korea was released from China in first time by Japan. In 1895, Korea could be an independency and established Korean empire. But year by year Korea was approaching to Russia because Korea made huge debt from Russia. Korea was in swamp of debt, and was becoming a colony of Russia. Japan had been worried about security of the peninsula. Japan had an experience Russian occupation of Tsushima island in 1861. At the time USA,UK, France Netherland alliance got Russia rid of Tsushima. Russia was always Japan's enemy and as it is. Eventually, Russo-Japanese war occurred in 1904. And Japan defeated all Russian gun ships of Baltic fleet at the sea of Japan near Tsushima. In 1905,Japan won Russia. If japan had ambition of territory of Korean peninsula, Japan must annex Korea after the end of war as soon as possible. Japan did not annex Korea in 1905. The annexation was 1910. Why??. Ito,Hirofumi ex-prime minister stopped the annexation policy. he was great opponent of annexation. Korean terrorist Ang,jufun was extreme pro-Japan. He thought if Ito was killed, the annexation policy must move. So Ito was assassinated at Harbing of Manchuria in 1909. And the annexation policy began to move. Japan annexed Korea in 1910. The ceremony of annexation was held at the plaza of Seoul under the blue sky. In the first place, Annexation suggestion was from Korean side. After Japan defeated China and Russia, Korea had sidled up to Japan to Join japan as becoming modernized country. Japan's suffering began for Korea.

@@user-cq6wm5hg2k You are ignorant of history. Study real history. When did Japan fight to Korea?

[@kaisermuto]

@@user-cq6wm5hg2k Before the Japanese annexation of Korea, Korea was almost collapsed country under Qin-china. Poor and uneducated people's region of far east. Literacy of Korean was only 4 % at all. You studied only by Hangul book and materials. You can not read old news paper which is printed with Kanji-chinese character and hangul. You can not read news paper in 1941. This news is uploaded on KZbin. During WWII, hangul news paper was issued casually. Because Korean peninsula was just in peace. In the first place, you don't know the reason why Korea was annexed by Japan. Korea had been slavish dependency of China for 1000 years long. After Japanese restoration, Japan was afraid of Russia for Russian advance to Korea. So Japan offered to China to release Korea as to be free. But Qing china denied Japan's offer. So Sino-Japanese war occurred in 1894. Japan won China in 1894. Korea could be an independency first time in 1895 as Korean empire. But soon Korea had been approaching to Russia for huge debt from Russia. Gradually, Russia built trench in Korean border line. Japan offered to Russia to go out of Korea. But Russia ignored Japan's offer. So Russo-Japanese war occurred in 1904. Japan destroyed all gun ships of Russian fleet. Japan won Russia in 1905. If Japan had an ambition of territory, Japan must annex Korea in 1905. However, the annexation of Korea was 1910. Why??? You must know the fact. The reason was what extreme opponent of annexation policy ITO,HIROFUMI was assassinated at Harbing of Manchulia in 1909. After Russo-Japanese war, the annexation opinion occurred in Korea side and Japan side too. But ITO had denied the policy. He was killed by Korean pro- Japan terrorist Ang,Jufun in 1909. So the annexation policy began to move. Japan accepted Korea's offer to annex. The ceremony of annexation held at the plaza of Seoul under the blue sky in 8,29 1910.

@@user-cq6wm5hg2k Whom did Japan torture to? Korean politic criminals? Every Koran politic prisoners got only prison living and the longest imprisonment was 7 years. Torture? It needed not in prison. They confessed all information at police station. Life in prison was so healthy, prisoners morning routine was stretching with gymnastic of radio ♬. Perhaps you saw a photo of prisoners morning gymnastic in the museum in Seoul. This is the evidence what Japan was very equal to Korean, even for prisoner. Suppose if Japan tortured to Korean prisoners every day, the morning stretch gymnastic must be empty meaning. Chief of prison had worried about health of prisoners every day. After they released they became a pro-Japan Korean completely. The living during annexation era, society was very peaceful. You studied your knowledge about era of the annexation is poor and ignorant. Perhaps you studied from your young parents or Korean school or history book written with hangul sign or Korean rumor. These resource makes prejudice to Japan.

[@kaisermuto]

@@user-cq6wm5hg2k There was no evidence of massacre of Koreans by Japanese. Only rumor. And you mean every Korean corpses in the Kanto earth quake in 1923 were killed by Japanese? You mean Korean never die by earth quake. Hundred thousands of corpses existed during the earth quake in Tokyo. Japanese died by earth quake, but Koreans did not by earth quake you mean. When Korean die, it must be killed by Japanese? It is said as persecutory delusion of Korean. This is famous theory.

[@kaisermuto]

@@user-cq6wm5hg2k When I was high school student in 1960, Chinese press announced Japanese force killed 6000 Nanking citizen ,but next year the number became 10,000. And year by year the corpses number was getting more and more. Finally it was decided 300,000 Nanking people were killed. But realty was another. First of all the killed men were soldier of Chinese national party force. They worn casual clothes in stead of uniform as well as guerrilla. In the first place, Chinese communism party force had never fought against Japan force. Mao Zhe dong party force had hidden in Yen Ang until 1945. And this is true fact, at the time of Nanking, thousands of Korean soldiers of Japan force participated to Nanking operation as Japanese force. You must know real fact. Don't accept only rumor by Korean and Chinese.

Historically, Japan has occupied and tortured many countries, including South Korea, and accidentally touched Pearl Harbor and was hit by a nuclear bomb. However, most Japanese believe that they were bombed by the United States for no reason. As if Japan were the victims. Grandparents who were ruled by Japan during the war remember Japan's actions. Japanese soldiers searched houses, stole materials such as aluminum pots and locks, hurt Korean pine trees, and stole resin from pine trees. They stole only good trees in the mountains by train. They say it was installed to help Korea develop, but if so, they would have laid rails on flat land, not on mountains.

[@kd5412]

Korean population doubled during Japanese occupation. They built railroad, hospitals, schools, factories, irrigation, sewage, and other infrastructure. They planted trees on the mountain not stole them. Learn history. Koreans don’t know Korean history. Sad.

[@johnpark4650]

@@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.

My grandparents and uncles all suffered thru the war, and to this date there has never been anything resembling sincerity in apology from Japan. They do not teach history in Japan regarding their genocide , lab testing and rape, and WORSHIP the entire high command every year. What apology is this? To this day none of them are registered as war criminals due to FULL AMNESTY granted by USA. Not a single cent in reparations went to asia, instead going to the White West. For a country focused on honour it is truly astounding that they deny any specific incidents eg rape of Nanking, slaughter of Malaya etc. ask any grandparent from china to the Philippines and hear the un-watered-down truth, which this video simply glosses over. Didn’t even mention the bayoneting of babies…
