明治期の日本と朝鮮

日韓関係の展開

抄録

This study is devoted to the overall view on Japanese-Korean relations from the eve of the Meiji Restoration to the annexation of Korea by Japan. In contrast to the friendly relationship which existed between Japan and Korea during the Edo period, Japan adopted an aggressive and militaristic scheme in Korea following the Meiji Restoration.
To realize this scheme, Japan fought a war with China which had been Korea's overlord, and removed her influence from Korea. After this, Japan was able to establish monopolistic control in Korea afrer eliminating the Russian influence as a result of the Russo-Japanese War. Japanese aggression in Korea brought about apprehension and disturbances there, and anti-Japanese riots occurred frequently in Korea as a consequence. Japan suppressed Korean anti-Japanese movements with military force, and ended up by annexing Korea.
