Truth about the Annexation of Korea

Abstract: Truth about the Annexation of Korea
The Japanese annexation of Korea was conducted just one hundred years ago with reasons fully in-line with the circumstances at that time. This is clearly vindicated by the fact that there were no countries that criticized the annexation, to say nothing of raising any objections.
However, Koreans are still criticizing Japan for it, claiming that the “36 years of Imperial Japanese rule” brought on the “seven deprivations” (king, sovereignty, human life, land, resources, language and personal name). Mr. Ko Bunyu (Huang Wengxing), a great Taiwan-born writer and historian, refutes this view, rather, based on his comprehensive listing of the historical facts, that Japanese rule brought about the “seven benefits” for the Korean people,. Mr. Ko’s paper will fully convince you of this conclusion.
