The Empire of Japan annexed (made part of its territory) the Korean Empire according to the Japan–Korea Treaty of 1910 concluded on 22 August 1910.[1] In Japanese, it is also called 日韓併合、朝鮮併合、日韓合邦 which translate as annexation of Korea, annexation of Joseon (an old name of Korea), and unification of Japan and Korea.[2] In Korean, It's often called 경술국치 (庚戌國恥), 국권피탈 (國權被奪) which mean national humiliation in Gyeongsul year (1910), and coercive loss of national sovereignty by Japan.[3][4]
Then Japanese ruled Korea until 1945, after the Potsdam Conference at the end of World War II.
