Korean Empire no relation Japanese annexation of Korea
The Japan–Korea Treaty of 1910, also known as the Japan–Korea Annexation Treaty, was made by representatives of the Empire of Japan and the Korean Empire on 22 August 1910. In this treaty, Korea formally became a part of Japan (Korea was de facto annexed) following the Japan–Korea Treaty of 1905 (by which Korea became a protectorate of Japan) and the Japan–Korea Treaty of 1907 (by which Korea was deprived of the administration of internal affairs).
Japanese commentators predicted that Koreans would easily assimilate into the Japanese Empire.In 1965, the Treaty of Basic Relations between South Korea and Japan confirmed this treaty is "already null and void".History
The treaty was proclaimed to the public (and became effective) on 29 August 1910, officially starting the period of Japanese rule in Korea. The treaty had eight articles, the first being: "His Majesty the Emperor of Korea makes the complete and permanent cession to His Majesty the Emperor of Japan of all rights of sovereignty over the whole of Korea".Gojong of the Korean Empire later called the treaty a neugyak (늑약 勒約). The alternative term used in lieu of joyak (조약 條約) implies the Koreans were coerced into accepting the treaty  by the Japanese. Gyeongsul Gukchi (경술국치 庚戌國恥, National humiliation of the year of Gyeongsul)" and Gukchi-il (국치일 國恥日, National humiliation day)" are alternative terms for the year and date the treaty was signed, respectively.The United Kingdom had already acquiesced to the annexation of Korea by Japan, via the British connection to Imperial Japan via the Anglo-Japanese Alliance of 1902; and the United States had also sanctioned the annexation, as per the Taft-Katsura Agreement.
