What kind of event was the Russo-Japanese War for Korea? Not only was Korea not a direct cause of the war, but it was not directly involved in the fighting. Research on the Russo- Japanese War in Korea to date has focused on its role in Japan’s wider encroachment on the peninsula and there has been no work directly linking the country with the conflict itself. The first purpose of this article is to re-exam the Russo-Korean relations toward the Russo-Japanese War. This paper considers these points to re-evaluate the relations between Korea’s perception and Japanse policies in the Russo-Japanese War. To this end, an attempt will be made to present a logical framework rather than a detailed historical narrative.
