&_160;Korean War 1950–1953 In Korea, the period is usually called a time of Japanese "forced occupation" (Hangul ?? ???; Ilje gangjeomgi, Hanja ?????); other terms used for it include "Japanese Imperial Period" (Hangul ????, Ilje sidae, Hanja ????) or "Japanese administration" (Hangul ??, Wae jeong, Hanja ??). In Japan, a more common description is "Japanese rule" (?????????, Nippon Tochi-jidai no Chosen?). In the late 19th century and early 20th century, various Western countries were competing for influence, trade, and territory in East Asia while Japan sought to join the modern colonial powers. The newly modernised Meiji government of Japan turned to Korea, then in the sphere of influence of Qing Dynasty of China. The Japanese government initially sought to separate Korea from Qing and make Korea a Japanese satellite in order to further their security and national interests.[1] In January 1876, following the Meiji Restoration, Japan employed gunboat diplomacy to pressure Korea to sign the Treaty of Ganghwa, which was regarded as an unequal treaty, [2] and grant extraterritorial rights and open three Korean ports to Japanese trade. The rights granted to Japan under the treaty were similar to those granted western powers in Japan following the visit of Commodore Perry. [2]
