This thesis aims to study on the description of 'the assassination of Empress Myeongseong' in the Korea and Japan high school history textbook. This incident has been given a lot of research findings by domestic and foreign historical scholars. But it has not been taught properly in schools and this problem make the wrong understanding of history. So, this thesis studied the description of 'the assassination of Empress Myeongseong' in the Korea and Japan high school history textbook. But first I analyze the feature of the two country's textbooks by examining the curricula. Also I have done a comparative analysis from Korean high school textbooks: 『A National History』,『Modern and Contemporary history in Korea』 and Japanese high school textbooks:『The History of japan』A․B. Furthermore, from this study, I suggested the orientation of the description of 'the assassination of Empress Myeongseong'.
