Korea under the Joseon dynasty had traditionally been invaded by multiple Manchurian and Japanese armies in its history. After the 1630's, though, Manchuria gave up on trying to conquer Korea, instead focusing on China. As Japan had no interest in restarting their invasions either, Korea welcomed an almost 200 year peace.

  • Korea under the Joseon dynasty had traditionally been invaded by multiple Manchurian and Japanese armies in its history. After the 1630's, though, Manchuria gave up on trying to conquer Korea, instead focusing on China. As Japan had no interest in restarting their invasions either, Korea welcomed an almost 200 year peace. However, Korea would not keep foreign influence away forever. Nicknamed "the hermit kingdom" due to its self induced isolation, Korea was eventually forced to open its borders to trade. The Japanese, as imperialistic as the westerners, saw Korea as an opportunity. In the 1870s, Japan began to force Korea out of Manchuria's traditional sphere of influence and into its own. As a result of the Sino-Japanese War (1897-1910) the Manchurian Qing Dynasty was forced to accept Japan's advances without comment. In that same year, Empress Myeongseong was assassinated by Japanese agents. The Empire of Korea had, until this time, entered a period of modernization of the military, the economy, and the justice system. However, with the Russian Empire being removed from the position of influencing Korea after the disastrous Russo-Japanese War of 1904, Japan was the only imperialist power left with interests in Korea. In 1910, the Japanese invaded. A treaty of annexation was circulated, and was signed by Lee Wang-Yong, who had been given the General Power of the Attorney by the Emperor. There is some debate as to whether or not the Emperor actually signed the treaty, as the Japanese never released the document. Though the treaty was internationally illegal, being signed under duress, due to threat of force and through bribery, the international community turned a blind eye.
