MADMAN Entries on The Korean Empire (5 Driving Questions)
Entry 1: How did the Korean Empire acquire power?
The Korean Empire first acquired “power” when King GoJong returned from the Russian Legation after 1 year of his wife’s assassination. During GoJong’s refuge at the Russian Legation, Russia took control of Korea and cleared off the Japanese soldiers a little bit so that GoJong could proclaim the Empire and have “power” again over the Korean Empire.
Entry 2: How did the Korean Empire become successful?
The Korean Empire was never really “successful” as an empire. Although the empire had an Emperor, a prince (successor) and soldiers, they were still dragged around by the Japanese Imperial as a whole. The Korean Empire was an empire that existed, but it was an empire that was not successful and never grew to power.
Entry 3: How did the Korean Empire influence its population?
The Korean Empire did not have a big influence on its population (or its land mass) because they were mainly focusing on trying to gain independence from Japan, which lead to a few sacrifices such as the 3 secret representatives to the Hague and An Jung-geun (the Korean nationalist that assassinated Ito Hirobumi).
Entry 4: How did the Korean Empire interact with other civilizations?
The Korean Empire interacted with several other civilizations but they were mostly negative interactions. The Korean Empire fought against Japan to gain independence from them but eventually became their protectorate because they were not strong enough. Korea also had a short interaction with Russia at the start of the Korean Empire where King Gojong took refuge in the Russian Legation after the assassination of his spouse (Empress MyeongSeong).
Entry 5: What circumstances led to the end of the Korean Empire?
In 1909, Ito Hirobumi (the prime minister of Japan) was assassinated by a Korean nationalist which made the Korean Empire believe that their independence was coming their way. But unfortunately they were not able to gain power over the rest of the Japanese government. Therefore after one year in 1910, the Korean Empire ended up signing the Annexation Treaty with Japan which gave the Japanese Empire full control over Korea, which also became the end of the Great Korean Empire.
