@Wuri1899@luckynosu By that logic, there are also accounts of Park Chung-hee, one of the founding figures of modern South Korea, speaking positively about Japan's annexation of Korea. So wouldn't that make your interpretation of history wrong too?
@Wuri1899@luckynosu So, your dislike of Japan's annexation of Korea is your personal view. But disagreeing with your interpretation doesn't mean denying history. You condemn the annexation as coercive, yet seem to want to impose your own historical views on others. Isn't that contradictory lol?
@Wuri1899@luckynosu The annexation treaty was signed by representatives of both Japan and Korea. That's a documented historical fact. Are you denying that the treaty was signed, or are you questioning whether the agreement was voluntary? Those are two different arguments

@Wuri1899@luckynosu For me, U can teach your distorted version of history to save Korea's face, but facts don't change to suit your narrative. The 1910 annexation was formalized by a treaty between Japan and Korea. The document still exists. Rewriting history won't change that.
@Wuri1899@luckynosu That's why I'm saying the annexation of Korea was agreed upon by both countries, lol.
If you don't like that treaty, then blame your own country for agreeing to it at the time.
@Wuri1899@luckynosu To be honest, looking at Korean history, it's just a cycle of being invaded.
Korea might want to blame others and portray themselves as victims, but the truth is that it was a dog-eat-dog era, so Korea, which did nothing, was responsible.
And, Japan has been helping u by that era
@Wuri1899@luckynosu Japan's 1910 annexation of Korea was formalized by treaty, though under Japanese pressure. Russia's expansion into Korea and its attempted lease of Yongampo in 1903 also contributed to tensions leading to the Russo-Japanese War. Historical context matters.
@Wuri1899@luckynosu Did Japan colonize Korea? Everyone in Japan knows that lol
ur point is that Korea was formally annexed but governed as a colony, right?
But annexation and colonial rule aren't mutually exclusive. Japan incorporated Korea into its empire while maintaining a separate admin system

@Wuri1899@luckynosu It's written in the agreement between the two countries in the first place
> Article 2: His Majesty the Emperor of Japan accepts the concession stated in the previous article and consents to the annexation of Korea to the Empire of Japan
I know ur point, but u read original txt
@Wuri1899@luckynosu This isn't "is null and void," it's "already null and void."
> It is confirmed that all treaties or agreements concluded between the Empire of Japan and the Empire of Korea on or before August 22, 1910 are already null and void
it reflected the positions of both countries.
@Wuri1899@luckynosu Read the original text. It says "annexation." Besides, Japan and Korea never even fought a war.
It's similar to municipalities merging.
