The Tonghak Rebellion of 1894

This abstract began in South Korea, the biggest farmers' uprising in the history of North Korea: the Tonkaku revolt in 1894. The Tongyeong movement was a new religion that began in 1860, opposing Western culture and supporting all people's equality. The Korean government opposed this religion and tried to close it by executing the founder in 1866, but the campaign secretly continued. By 1892 and 1893 the supporters held a large meeting to protest the efforts of the government to conclude the movement. In February 1894, the disease relapsed and spread rapidly.

However, the riots of tonkaku from 1894 to 1995 ended the independence of North Korea. Democratic People's Republic of Korea invited foreigners to send troops to North Korea to suppress opposition factions. Both China and Japan sent troops, eventually leading to the first Japan-China War (1894-1895). The victory of Japan made China influence North Korea and made it possible for Japan to establish hegemony on the Korean Peninsula (L.o.C., 2004). Japan implemented the first policy change in Korea through the "Malaysia Convention". The product of the treaty was originally thought to be beneficial to the Korean people from the perspective of foreigners. The class difference is abolished and the slaves are released

The government was persecuted without mercy, but the time of spring and autumn has settled among farmers. The believers made a massive demonstration seeking to close the corruption. The official negative reaction led to the Tonga uprising (1894). There, believers and farmers in Ch'ndogyo formed a united front and demanded reform. Government troops with Western weapons experienced a shameful defeat in the southern provinces. And weakened the military rule of the government 's country. Foreign intervention seems to be the last resort to the ruler, and the Chinese army quickly came in at the request of the government. At the same time, Japan dispatched a large military delegation without invitation, and the two foreign troops had intense and sudden confrontations.

On June 4, 1894, the Democratic People's Republic of Korea requested the Qing Empire to suppress the rebellion of Qing Khazhu. The Qing government dispatched 2,800 soldiers to South Korea. The Japanese army dispatched 8000 expedition teams to the DPRK. The first 400 soldiers arrived in Seoul on June 9th and landed in Incheon on June 12th. The Qing government refused Japan's suggestion that Japan and China will cooperate in reforming the North Korean government. When the Democratic People's Republic of Korea requested the DPRK to withdraw its troops from North Korea, the Japanese refused. At the beginning of June, 18 thousand Japanese troops occupied the king of karaoke, occupied the Imperial Palace of Seoul, and established a government in Seoul on June 25. While Japan dispatched more troops to North Korea, the new governmen 's government granted Japan the right to exile the Qing Army.
