The Japanese Occupation and Korea’s Independence Movement Japan's government-general in Seoul was interested mainly in economic exploitation, and Japanese farmers and fishermen were given Korean land free or at low cost. Large quantities of rice were exported to Japan, and Koreans faced a serious food shortage. The Korean standard of living deteriorated drastically; hundreds of thousands of Korean farmers were forced to move to Manchuria or Japan, only to find life no easier there. Colonial rule stimulated the growth of nationalism among Koreans. On March 1, 1919, thirty-three Korean patriots gathered in Pagoda Park in Seoul to proclaim a Declaration of Independence. This touched off a nationwide movement to demand an end to Japanese colonial rule, but the movement sadly was crushed by Japanese forces, at the cost of thousands of Korean lives. 29 _ History In a threatening move in 1907, the Japanese army, demanding the abdication of Joseon's King Gojong (r.1863-1907), deployed their artillery on Mt. Namsan in the southern outskirts of the capital. Japan eventually made Korea a colony in 1910.
30 _ HELLO from KOREA On March 1, 1919, thousands of Koreans took to the streets in downtown Seoul demanding an end to the Japanese colonial rule. The nationwide non-violent resistence movement is known as the Samil Independence Movement. An Jung-geun(1879-1910), an independence fighter This event, later known as the Samil (March 1) Independence Movement, was a milestone in Korea's fight for freedom. Even though it failed to depose the Japanese, it strengthened the Korean people's sense of national identity and patriotism, and led to the establishment of a Provisional Government in Shanghai, China, and to an organized armed struggle against the Japanese colonialists in Manchuria. Japan implemented a policy to assimilate Koreans into the Japanese culture. Japanese language was used in Korean schools, and Koreans were forced to adopt Japanese-style names. Nonetheless, Koreans managed to retain their cultural identity. During this period, many national treasures and cultural artifacts were taken to Japan and have yet to be returned.
