Ted, > I don't have time to find them but then you know Korean history, don't you? Don't run away from your own words. You made the claim, now you back it up. What did Korea do that justified what Japan did during the 1910-1945 occupation? I didn't say that what Korea or China did justified what Japan did to them. What I said is that Korea and China have committed atrocities as well. Here's two Korean examples after doing a quick search: "While Shilla was building amicable relations with Tang China, Koguryo was in fierce conflict with Sui and Tang. Sui Emperor Yang-ti, after successful campaigns against the northern nomadic tribes, invaded Koguryo with more than one million troops. In 612, Koguryo General Ulchi Mundok held the fortresses agains Tang0ti's army and navy for several months and destroyed the Sui troops in retreat. An ambush at Salsu (Ch'oongch'don'gang) river allowed only 2,700 Sui troops out of 300,000 men to escape. [edit.over 250,000 were slaughtered} Sui fell from power partly as a result of the defeat by Koguryo. **** "In 1863, Prince Yi Ha-ung, better known as the Taewon-gun or Prince Regent, put into effect a series of sweeping reforms encompassing national finance and government administration in order to strengthen the royal authority. He strongly opposed the increasing infiltration of foreign commercial interests into the country. In the spring of 1866, the government ordered the rigorous persecution of Catholics. Aroused by this measure, the French fleet sailed up the Han-gang river and hostilities broke out on Kanghwado island. The Taewon-gun's massacre of Catholics was a powerful stimulus for France, which had already established beachheads in Indochina, to move aggressively against Korea. Admiral Pierre G. Rose, commander of France's Indochina fleet, led his squadron to waters off Kanghwado island on October 13, 1866 and landed troops on the island. They were repulsed, however, by Korean forces, and the French fleet was forced to withdraw." ************* "Therefore, instead of meeting with the bishop, the Taewongun had him seized and executed in February 1886. He then attempted to capture the remaining 11 French priests who were hiding throughout Korea and cracked down on the Catholics. All but three of the priests and over 8,000 of the estimated 18,000 Catholics in Korea were killed. Father Felix-Clair Ridel was one of the three who escaped and fled to China to get the help of France to punish Korea."
