Military History Of Korea During World War II
Japanese Korea refers to the period when the Korean Peninsula was occupied by the Empire of Japan and declared an Imperial Japanese protectorate in the 1905 Eulsa Treaty, and officially annexed in 1910 through the annexation treaty. The Empire of Japan's involvement in the region began with the 1876 Treaty of Ganghwa during the reign of the Joseon Dynasty. The 1905 and 1910 treaties were eventually declared "null and void" by both the state of Japan and the Republic of Korea in 1965.
In South Korea, the period is usually described as "Japanese Imperial Period" (Hangeul: 일제시대, Ilje sidae, Hanja: 日帝時代) or the "period of the Japanese imperial colonial administration" (Hangeul: 일제식민통치시대, Ilje sikmin tongchi sidae, Hanja: 日帝植民統治時代). Other terms include "Japanese forced occupation" (Hangeul: 일제강점기; Ilje gangjeomgi, Hanja: 日帝强占期) or "Wae (Japanese) administration" (Hangeul: 왜정, Wae jeong, Hanja: 倭政). In Japan, the term "Chōsen (Korea) of the Japanese-Governed Period" (日本統治時代の朝鮮, Nippon Tōchi-jidai no Chōsen?) has been used.

Be found acceptable in Heaven’s sight.
