On July 8, 1853, a fleet led by the commander of the U.S. East India Fleet appeared off the coast of Japan, and in January of the following year, it returned to seven fleets and forced them to open the port. The shogunate that surrendered to this comes to an agreement as requested by the United States, which is the first treaty Japan has signed with the West, the Treaty of the United States of America.
☞ Treaty of the United States: Five ports including Hakodate, recognition of extraterritorial rights in the United States, disapproval of customs rights in Japan, and treatment of the most beneficial countries in the United States.
After opening the port, Japan's Meiji Restoration was successful and economic and military rapid development continued.
Twenty years after the opening of the port, Japan imposed a compulsory treaty on Joseon against the United States. In the same way that the United States brought a black ship to Japan and demanded the opening of the port, in short, it used the evil habit of learning from the United States as it was in Joseon.
Even though there was a lot of friction and damage with the Joseon military under the pretext of opening the port, the Treaty of Ganghwa Island (Byeongja Protection Treaty) was signed under the pretext of this incident and forced Joseon to open.
As a result, the power of conservative forces, which have been consistent with the closing policy, weakens, and the enlightenment group gradually gains strength. As a result, Byeolgi-gun, a new Japanese-style army, was created, and gradually the enlightenment group gained strength, and conflicts between forces began to arise.
The treatment of Byeolgi-gun was much better than that of the old army, and he wore new weapons and uniforms, and was being trained by Japanese instructors.On the other hand, when the old army does not even receive a proper Noksong Peak, an incident occurs in which the old army revolts with dissatisfaction with discrimination against treatment.
It was the Imo Gunran in 1882.
Conservative forces centered on Daewongun, who had been declining under the leadership of this old army, supported the old army from behind, showed an all-out war between the enlightened and conservative forces, and eventually Japanese officials were killed by the rebels. In the midst of this, King Gojong, who became urgent, handed over full power to Daewongun and settled the rebellion. In this way, Daewongun seemed to take power again, but taking advantage of this time, the Min family asked for salvation from the Qing Dynasty and the incident was suppressed by the Qing Dynasty, giving the Qing Dynasty an excuse for its full-scale intervention in Joseon. Afterwards, the Qing Dynasty dispatched 3,000 soldiers to Joseon and entered a semi-dominant state. Japan also calls on the Joseon government to punish the perpetrators and concludes the Treaty of Sacrifice for the purpose of compensation in this case.
Since then, the Qing Dynasty and Japan have expanded their interference and authority over Joseon in earnest.
Two years later, in 1884, the Qing Dynasty withdrew half of the 3,000 soldiers stationed in Joseon after the Imjin War and put them into the war against France. At this time, the Qing Dynasty's interest in Joseon weakens due to war and chaotic domestic problems.
Taking advantage of this gap, the enlightenment group led by Kim Ok-gyun seeks a revolution to restore sovereignty that has been suppressed by the Qing Dynasty. Kim Ok-gyun and his party, who led this revolution (Gapsin Coup), studied Western studies early in Japan, studied under Japanese thinker Yukichi Fukuzawa, and are also interested in the success of the Meiji Restoration in Japan. Based on this experience in Japan, it sought to reject foreign powers and establish an independent government, but in order to promote this, it was promoted using Japan because its independent power was weak. However, the investigation ends in three days due to the non-cooperation of the Japanese Corporation and the leakage of plans, which promised cooperation. Those who dreamed of reforming Joseon with independence and independent modernization based on the Meiji Restoration came to nothing, and Kim Ok-kyun went on an exile to Japan and was eventually assassinated in Shanghai.
Since then, the struggle between Cheong and Il against Joseon has reached its peak.
Around this time, the government of Joseon is becoming increasingly helpless, and officials are also suffering from corruption and embezzlement, and the people are struggling day by day.
In 1894, when the Donghak Peasant Movement took place by farmers outraged by the tyranny of the detective duck, and the forces gradually gained strength and spread to the popular uprising movement, the Joseon government's Min forces again ask the Qing Dynasty for support.The Qing Dynasty's intervention in Joseon became more explicit in the wake of the suppression of the Donghak Peasant Movement, and Japan sent troops to Joseon in the name of protecting its citizens. From this point on, troops from both Sino-Japanese countries were stationed in Joseon and began to confront each other due to the struggle for interests. Japan was accurately aware of the reality of the Qing Dynasty, which had become weak around this time.
In 1894, when the Qing Dynasty fleet stationed in Joseon was attacked, Japan finally started the Sino-Japanese War and began to reveal its ambition in earnest. The war ended with Japan's overwhelming victory, and as a result, the Qing Dynasty was completely excluded from Joseon as the Qing Dynasty surrendered to Japan and signed the Shimonoseki Treaty, and from then on, Joseon was placed under Japanese interference.

At this time, Japan, which unilaterally won the Sino-Japanese War against Western powers, is evaluated again. It is recognized as a strong Asian player.
Russia is immersed in south-south policy through East Asia and begins to check Japan in partnership with Germany and France.
Feeling anxious about Russia's southward policy, Britain allied with Japan, implicitly condoning Japan's entry into Joseon and justifying its control over India with the aim of stopping Russia from moving south.During this period, the Joseon government was disillusioned with Japan due to Japan's Empress Myeongseong murder and oppression, and tried to get out of Japan's sphere of influence on the land with Russia on its back, but it was not easy.
Japan, which won the Sino-Japanese War, began to seriously confront Russia over the interests of Shandong and Manchuria in China. As the conflict between the two countries intensified and no compromise was found through dialogue, Japan's unilateral attack on Russia began in 1904.
The Russo-Japanese War took place, fiercely fighting in the Joseon and Manchuria areas. In the land war, both countries were on an equal footing with a large number of dead people, but the war tilted to Japan as Japan took the lead in the naval battle.The decisive battle was the Battle of Tsushima, which faced the world's strongest Russian Baltic Fleet at the time, and the Baltic Fleet from Europe wasted months more around Africa's southernmost Hope Peak when it was impossible to pass the Suez canal due to British sanctions.It was the result of a thorough battle in which Japan obtained information through Britain in advance and bought months of time.Russia calms down the battle lines and fights the East Sea again around May 1905, but Japan's victory ends the Russo-Japanese War as four fleets, including Nicolai IV, surrendered to Japan.During this period, while Japan prepared for the Russo-Japanese War, it robbed Dokdo Island for war purposes and built a watchtower and base station to monitor the Russian fleet.It is also near Dokdo Island that Japan won the East Sea Battle.Later, the Russo-Japanese War ended with the signing of the Treaty of Forthmouth with the intervention of the United States.
Since then, the United States has also recognized Japan as a powerhouse in East Asia.
☞ Treaty of Portsmouth: Transferred from Manchuria to Russia/Lusundalian even to Japan/Sakhalin Island.
The United States then sends an envoy to Japan to sign a secret agreement. This is the Katsurateft secret agreement, in which the U.S. controls the Philippines and Japan controls Joseon.Immediately after the following year, Japan signed a Japan-Korea Treaty of 1905 with Joseon and deprived it of its diplomatic rights.In response, King Gojong dispatched a secretariat to the Hague to inform the world of Japanese atrocities, but it went down the drain due to the struggle of the powers and Japan's interference.
In 1909, Ahn Jung-geun shot Ito.
The humiliating merger in 1910 (Gyeongsulgukchi)
When World War I broke out in 1914, another opportunity came for Japan.The war significantly reduces European production and increases Japan's exports, accumulating enormous wealth. European powers are engulfed in war, losing interest in Asia, and Japan is also taking advantage of this time to invade Asia in earnest. Japan, which has signed treaties with France, Britain, and Russia, declares war on Germany and participates in World War I. It intercepts Qingdao and Shandong Peninsula, which were interested regions of Germany in China.Japan does not fight any war and enjoys specialties and takes advantage of it.Japan, which took advantage of its interests and was hit by export shipping, has grown into the world's third-largest shipping country, ending World War I in 1918.
With the 1923 Great Kwandong Earthquake, everything turned into ashes and the emergence of socialist forces, the domestic situation in Japan is in chaos. At this time, Japan stimulates China to turn people's attention outward as a means of solving chaotic domestic problems.At that time, China was in a chaotic situation after the civil war.Jang Gye-seok's Kuomintang and Mo Taek-dong's Communist Party fought fiercely, and in Manchuria, Jang Jak-rim, who supported Japan, faced off.
The 1929 World Panic also hit Japan hard. With the end of World War I, Japan's exports shrink as Europe's economy improves and production picks up. Japan launched an invasion of China in Manchuria in 1931 as a means of making up for these situations at once. As a result, China falls into an extreme whirlwind by fighting civil war and war with Japan.Accordingly, China decided to end the civil war for a while and face Japan.This is a joint venture.Thus, it was expanded to the Sino-Japanese War in 1937.
It faced Japan through a joint venture, but it was not enough. The Namgyeong Massacre, in which 300,000 innocent Chinese civilians were slaughtered that winter, took place. Winning the war against China, Japan, which is proud of its victory, lifts its ambition to occupy Asia as a whole.This is the public right of Daedong-A that Japan put forward.
In 1939, World War II broke out in Europe due to Germany's invasion of Poland, and Germany was on a roll and occupied Paris.Accordingly, Japan quickly formed an alliance with Germany and fought against the United States and took over the Asian colonies of Britain and France one after another.Feeling threatened by this, the United States begins to sanction Japan.As Japan did not respond much, it took extreme measures called oil embargo.At this time, Japan relied on the United States for most of its oil.
On December 8, 1941, Japan, which was finally cornered, launched an all-out war with the United States with an air strike on Pearl Harbor in Hawaii.
The United States, which took the lead in the Battle of Midway next year, will launch a massive counterattack with the victory of the Battle of Cadalcanal.As the U.S. Navy began to accurately decrypt the Japanese military's code, Japan continued to lose consecutive games and finally confronted it with suicide commandos, but the situation has already tilted.On July 26, 1945, the Allied Forces urged Japan to surrender through the Potsdam Declaration, but Japan decided to a mainland showdown and refused to surrender until the end, and the United States was skeptical of landing on mainland Japan as too many soldiers took Okinawa.And slowly, fearing that the war would flow in a complicated way due to Soviet intervention, nuclear attacks are carried out twice.A little boy of uranium coal will be dropped to Hiroshima on August 6, followed by a plutonium patmen to Nagasaki on August 9.Nevertheless, Japan, which had been holding back its surrender, was cornered by the Soviet Union's full-fledged intervention and reached its surrender on August 15, 1945.
According to one theory, at this time, Japan prepared nuclear weapons in the East Sea of Hamgyeong-do and left only the final experimental stage to counterattack the United States, and all of Russia's plans went south in vain and reached surrender.
At the end of the war, Russia sneaked in and only took advantage.As a result of this, Korea is later divided into the two Koreas. History is said to have no assumptions. If it had ended without Soviet intervention, wouldn't the Korean Peninsula be different from now?…Think about it.
The "colonial modernization theory," often referred to by the pro-Japanese group offspring and evil private opportunists, is nonsense and absurd to be punished.
