Korea was initially conquered by Japan in 1905, and with the signing of the
Eulsa Treaty Japanese citizens started to move to Korea. However it wasn’t
until 1910 with the signing of the Annexation treaty that they were officially
annexed into Japan. Japan’s takeover was relatively painless for Korea since
very little blood was shed. Japan used a trade blockade to force Korea to allow
Japanese citizens to settle in Korea. After the signing of the Eulsa Treaty
three Korean ports opened to the trade of Japanese boats, and even after their
decolonization in 1945 they stayed on peaceful terms with Japan. To see an
