Korean independence movement
The
Korean independence movement
was a military and diplomatic campaign to achieve the independence of
Korea
from
Japan
. After the Japanese
annexation of Korea
in 1910, local resistance in Korea culminated in the
March 1st Movement
in 1919, which was crushed and sent Korean leaders to
flee into China
. In China, Korean independence activists built ties with the Chinese
Nationalist Government
which supported their
Korean government in exile
(KPG). At the same time, the
Korean Liberation Army
, which operated under the Chinese
National Military Council
and then the KPG, led attacks against Japan.
