":::::No, you're the one violating WP:NOR by coming up with this quack idea that colonization and assimilation are mutually exclusive in the last hour or so.

The March 1st Movement was a mass demonstration of Koreans asserting their Korean identity in opposition to Japanese attempts at assimilating Koreans as Japanese.  Just because you say it's not related to assimilation doesn't make it so.  

I've given you citations, sources, compromised edits and explained these things to you to no end.  You are not being responsive and ignoring logic and my good faith attempts at resolution while repeating arguments that have I've already responded to.

There is no rhyme or reason, or any historical evidence why ""colonization"" and ""assimilation"" are mutually exclusive.  If you think there are, please offer them.  Rather than being mutually exclusive they are absolutely integrated concepts which cannot be separated from the other.  Furthermore, for the purposes of deciding whether force was used to assimilate Koreans into the the Japanese Empire, war atrocities committed against Koreans by the Japanese government during the colonial period furthered BOTH concepts of ""colonization"" and ""assimilation"".
