영문 초록

The reason for Japan to intervene in the Kando problem is due to the Russo-Japanese War. There are 3 main reasons why the Japanese had an interest in Kando. One is to be militarily prepared for the second Russo-Japanese War, and another is to establish political protection through the Ulsa Treaty (Korean-Japanese Agreement), by obtaining rights for Kando, on behalf of Korea, and to secure status as a protected country of the Koreans, and to exercise the safe dominance over the Korean peninsula. Thirdly, Kando was turning the base of anti-Japanese movement led by Lee Bum-Yun and Lee Sang Seoul. Therefore, Japan needed to occupy Kando to prevent this. For this reason, the Japanese military and Hirobumi Ito had a strong desire to transfer Kando into Korean territory before the Ulsa treaty. Ito hinted that Japan could solve the Kando problem lucratively, because Japan got the right of Korean diplomatic affairs on the way that he persuades Kojong who protest. Though it is hard to say that we have no idea of how persuasive it was, we need to pay close attention to the fact that Japanese utilized the Manchuria conflict as a tool for a Korean-Japanese agreement. But after the Ulsa treaty, the Kando problem changed from ‘asserting the dominium’ to ‘Protecting Koreans’, thus the dominium that the Korean government had been standing on since Japan deprive Korea of diplomatic authority became weakened in 1885. After that the diplomatic situation between Japan and Chung developed more around the dominium of Kando than the protection of Koreans in Kando (Legal position, Land ownership, etc) and it resulted in ‘the Kando Agreement.’ These changes of situation were from the following causes. First of all, the military threat of Russia to Japan had been relieved because there was a negotiation between Russia and Japan was going on. World power intensified to criticize and to restrain the possession dominium of Japan on Manchuria, and the persistence of could bring “the second tripartite interference” as the situation afterwards Sino-Japanese War. The interference of World Power had an intimidating effect of its own, threatening instability in the client state. This operated unfavorably to ensure a right of Manchuria. In response to the criticism from World power, Japan acted to both avoid World power denunciation and to ensure the power of influence in Kando. At the same time, a countermeasure to keep prestige as a protector state, not to dominate but to protect Korea, Japan set up a temporary branch office, to launch into Kando. With the conclusion of Ulsa Treaty the dominium of Kando was subordinated to the situation of international politics surrounding Japan so that the Korean government’s assertion of Korean territory was buried. As a result, according to the Ulsa Treaty, the Kando problem changed and became weakened from “Asserting the dominium.” to “Protecting Koreans in Kando.” In this sense, deprivation of diplomatic authority in the Ulsa Treaty was the problem that was linked directly with the deprivation of territorial rights.
