#12 - Imperialism and colonization- S.korea






일제 강점기 한국인의 삶과 민족운동 & '위안부' 리포트

Colonization usually affects people's life and their society. Many people had to become victims for those colonization periods, so it ruins their life mostly. In this book, they show us one wonman's misereable life as Japanese military sexual slave. Colonization affects the society as well as their life a lot. Like in this book, it says that after the colonization of Japan, Korean population had been decreased a lot, because many men were forced to go to war for Japan during the WW2 while the women were forced to go to military as sexual slaves. Depending on the woman in this book, almost men didn't want to get married with the women who was the comfort women. So also it caused the population. Also, it affects their societies like rules they made or the economic changes. In South korea, almost middle school and high school students have to cut their hair, and this rule is from the colonization period under Japan. Also, they tried to make people use only Japanese, so that we can forget about our root of ourselves. This book shows that how Japan deal with colonization and how Koreans fought and resistance it.
