Japan–Korea Treaty of 1910 participant Empire of Japan
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".
