The London Times wrote 1905, "We should learn from Japan."

In addition, the United States brainwashed the Japanese with ignorance, exposing them fully, saying that "Japan colonized Korea."
Almost all Japanese researchers in Korea are leftists and gladly went along with the American hoax.
I'm resending the chapter I sent out on 2019-03-13.
This genuine thesis revealing the truth of things is a must-read for the Japanese and the rest of the world.
The following is a continuation of the previous chapter.
"We should learn from Japan." 
Since the Manchurian Incident, Korean riots and rebellions during the era of the Japan-Korea Union have all but disappeared.
The Koreans have become equal to the Manchus of the Qing Dynasty, who were once the dominant ethnic group in Korea.
The Manchus and the Han Chinese had always looked down on the Koreans and bullied them for a long time. 
However, with the joining of Japan and Korea, it became possible to say, "We are Japanese.
When the Soshi-Kaimei movement took place, and the name became Japanese, it was a big hit against the Manchus and Chinese, who had held their heads for thousands of years.
After that, there were no more uprisings by the Koreans.
The "theory of Korean-Japanese ancestry" became popular, and Korean junior high schools began to visit the Ise Shrine as part of their school excursions.
During the war, many volunteer soldiers and many Koreans were members of suicide missions. 
The Meiji government had a firm determination not to engage in colonization.
Japan annexed Taiwan in 1895 after the Sino-Japanese War, and about ten years later, the London Times wrote the following. 
"In just ten years, the population of Taiwan has increased by several hundred thousand people. England, France, and Holland could have colonized Taiwan if they wanted to, but they didn't because the land was a tropical disease where endemic and contagious diseases spread. Moreover, aside from the natives deep in the mountains, most of the inhabitants were bandits who had fled from China. Li Hongzhang, the plenipotentiary of the Shimonoseki Treaty who decided on the transfer of Taiwan, said, "We have imposed a terrible burden on Japan. They will suffer a terrible fate soon, so watch and see. He chuckled to himself inwardly. However, with great effort, Japan overcame the endemic disease and increased its population by leaps and bounds. The colonial empires of the West should learn from Japan's success." 
It also practiced the same Japanese rule that the London Times praised in Korea. 
The Taiwan merger lasted 50 years, and the Japan-Korea union lasted 35 years.
If it had not been for the anti-Japanese movement of Syngman Rhee, who returned to Korea after the war and became the first president of Korea, and if the peninsula had not been divided into North and South, and if the merger with Japan had continued for another 15 years, as it did in Taiwan for 50 years, Japan would have been able to deal with Korea with feelings similar to those of Taiwan. 
It is just a fantasy, but this is the case. 
In addition, the United States brainwashed the Japanese with ignorance, exposing them fully, saying that "Japan colonized Korea."
Almost all Japanese researchers on Chosun were leftists and gladly went along with the American falsehood.
Decent scholars and politicians who should have corrected them were banned from public office. 
It is a pity that Koreans have come to think that their country was a colony of Japan.
It is due to the American occupation policy and the criminal ignorance of the Japanese leftist cultural figures. 
Now is the time to return to the origin (Ad Fontes).
