Triple Intervention
Kim Hong-jip's third cabinet was organized after the Qing-Japanese war. As a result of Japanese victory, Japan occupied the peninsular Liaodung. Other imperialist nations like France, Russia, and Germany didn't support Japan's expansion, so they pressured Japan using the Triple Intervention. In this period, Joseon had a pro-Russian cabinet, headed by Kim Hong-jip. Because Japan felt threatened, they killed Queen Min, and the third cabinet collapsed.
