message: *I restored the term 'recede' (no hyphen) today into the Aftermath section.  This is pretty acedemic, even picyune matter, but in my understanding, Ceding and Receding a terratory are complimentary operations - inverses.  The term 'Recede' is used authoritatively by one of the far east historians I cite (see above from six months ago or so), as I know, for the term gave me pause as well.  So I took time to consult a dictionary when it occured... a good month or so before my original edit on this article occurred.
*Somewhat later in the 'Aftermath' paragraphs, someone has used a hyphenated form.  Stylewise, my urge is to be consistant, but the matter is of little import. I let that occurance stand, as it does connote properly within the context of it's paragraph.  Someone with a better grasp of english grammer nuance is needed to sort this one out.  To my mind, the diplomatically technical 'recede' and the english construct 're-cede' are equivilent alternative usages... which, if I recollect my teachings should then revert to the hypenless form.  Someone else make this call please!

message: I asked more than 100 Korean people in Korea. All they said was Korea had been independent for 5000 years. They did not know Korea was a client state.... until Treaty of Shimonoseki 1895. What a surprise. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 220.146.187.249 (talk • contribs).
:Korea keep their culture and goverment all times. you must distinguish "diplomatic relation" and "conquered relation". china and korea relation were "diplomatic relation". conquered relation mean, 1. japan nuked by atomic bomb, killed about 500 thousand people, forced dismiss their army, and death penaty to their commander by other. 2. chinese slaughtered and raped and destroyed by mongol and "direct" controlled by other race. and treated as 4th grade slave. this means "conquered relation".
: According to Treaty of Shimonoseki, China "recognizes" Korea's independence.  "recognizes" mean "If someone says that they recognize something, they acknowledge that it exists or that it is true.". "china confirmed korea was already independence country. china remove influence to korea. just remove influence. this mean is Not independence ("seperate territory")".
