Maps On Endpapers And Large Folding Map In Pocket At Rear. Red Cloth Gilt Top Edge Gilt. Complete; All Maps Present And Near Fine Large Map In Pocket Without Tears Or Damage. An Excellent Statement Of Japanese Pride In Their Recently Conquered Mainland Territories. Beginning In 1871 Japan Began To Exert More Influence In Korea Forcing It Out Of China's Traditional Sphere Of Influence. As A Result Of The Sino-Japanese War 1894-95 The Qing Dynasty Had To Give Up Such A Position According To Article 1 Of The Treaty Of Shimonoseki Which Was Concluded Between China And Japan In 1895. That Same Year Empress Myeongseong Of Korea Was Assassinated By Japanese Agents. In 1897 The Joseon Dynasty Proclaimed The Korean Empire 1897-1910. King Gojong Became Emperor. During This Brief Period Korea Had Some Success In Modernising The Military Economy Real Property Laws Education System And Various Industries. Russia Japan France And The United States All Invested In The Country And Sought To Influence It Politically. In 1904 The Russo-Japanese War Pushed The Russians Out Of The Fight For Korea. Korea Became A Protectorate Of Japan The Following Year. In Manchuria On 26 October 1909 An Jung-Geun Assassinated The Former Resident-General Of Korea Ito Hirobumi For His Role In Trying To Force Korea Into Occupation. In 1910 An Already Militarily Occupied Korea Was A Forced Party To The Japan-Korea Annexation Treaty. The Treaty Was Signed By Lee Wan-Yong Who Was Given The General Power Of Attorney By The Emperor. However The Emperor Is Said To Have Not Actually Ratified The Treaty According To Yi Tae-Jin. There Is A Long Dispute Whether This Treaty Was Legal Or Illegal Due To Its Signing Under Duress Threat Of Force And Bribes.Korean Resistance To The Brutal Japanese Occupation Was Manifested In The Nonviolent March 1St Movement Of 1919 During Which 7000 Demonstrators Were Killed By Japanese Police And Military. The Korean Liberation Movement Also Spread Unsuccessfully To Neighboring Manchuria And Siberia. See Wikipedia For Information And Sources <br/> <br/> Imperial Japanese Government Railways hardcover‎
