Meiji Constitution Preamble(Primary Source)

  9. The Imperial Diet shall first be convoked for the 23rd year of Meiji and the time of its opening shall be the date, when the present Constitution comes into force. This section of the preamble states that Japan, due to the government lead by Meiji, will now be a strong imperialist country. The dates next to each country show what years Japan took over each of these certain countries. Japan is taking over countries like Korea and Manchuria, in which Korea is giving in to their imperialist power.

  10.

  11. “We herewith proclaim the independence of Korea and the liberty of the Korean people. This we proclaim to all the nations of the world in witness of human equality. This we proclaim to our descendents so that they may enjoy in perpetuity their inherent right to nationhood. Inasmuch as this proclamation originates from our five-thousand-year history, inasmuch as it springs from the loyalty of twenty million people, inasmuch as it affirms our yearning for the advancement of everlasting liberty, inasmuch as it expresses our desire to take part in the global reform rooted in human conscience, it is the solemn will of heaven, the great tide of our age, and a just act necessary for the co-existence of all humankind. Therefore, no power in this world can obstruct or suppress it!”

  12. Japan part of axis alliance • Germany, Italy, and Japan • Invaded Indochina on July 26, 1941 • FDR cut off all trade • Japan set off attack on Pearl Harbor- December 7, 1941 • War in Europe ended, but Japan remained undefeated • Harry Truman thought of dropping atomic bomb • Japan surrendered on August 14 • Empire destroyed and nation humiliated • The ruins of Japan led to freedom of Korea Click this picture WWII

  13. http://www.criticalpast.com/video/65675071635_atom-bomb_ruins_casualties_school-children_delegates-in-hall_scientistshttp://www.criticalpast.com/video/65675071635_atom-bomb_ruins_casualties_school-children_delegates-in-hall_scientists This video shows actual footage from the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima, Japan. It also shows what the city looked like after the bomb, in which it was in ruins. Also, thousands of people were ill due to radiation. All of these problems added up led to the “collapse” of the Japan Empire, which meant the freedom of Korea. VIDEO

  15. Korea separated in 1945 • After surrender and withdraw of Japanese troops • Soviets controlled the North and made it communist • Under leadership of Kim II Sung • Governing body is the Korean Worker’s Party • Kim II Sung son took power (Kim Jong-il) • Telephone communication virtually impossible • Activities and conversations closely monitored • State owns and opens industry • Not yet self-sufficient in food production • Supreme leader of North Korea today: Kim Jong-un North Korea Today

  16. North Korea does have some connection to imperialism, but mostly under the influence of communism. As you can see in the pie graph of “North Korean Children”, more children are living malnourished rather than nourished. This shows that the leader does not care about the people as much as he cares about keeping a communist country. Kim Jong-un is very much similar to Mao in that they do not care about the health standards of their citizens. This graph of “North Korean Refugees in South Korea” also shows evidence of a communist government. Many North Koreans, especially between 2004 and 2010, escaped to South Korea to avoid the cruel government and no freedom government. In fact, a high of about 3000 North Koreans escaped to South Korea in 2009.
