Korea's Independence Movement
March 1, 1919 Korean Nationalists declare korea's independence
During the colonial period, Japan enforced the Name Order, requiring koreans to adopt Japanese-style names. In March 1919, Korean leaders declared independence, sparking nationwide street demonstrations. With the support of the American and Soviet military, Korea was able to ultimately achieve freedom on August 15, 1945, ending Japan's 35-year occupation. The liberation resulted from Japan's surrender in the Pacific War.

Bethell, a correspondent for the Daily Chronicle, arrived in Korea in 1904 to cover the Russo-Japanese War. Witnessing Japan's invasion, he resigned from his correspondent position and, on July 18, 1904, established The Daehan Maeil Sinbo, a newspaper with an English sister edition, The Korea Daily News, for which he served as the publisher and editor. Bethell used these platforms to condemn Japan's imposition of an unjust treaty on Korea, accessing global attention to the crisis.
