카이로會談에서의 한국문제에 대한 중화민국정부의 태도

Abstract

After Japanese Imperialism annexed Korea In 1910, most Korean independent movements were developed in China. In order to make it a success, it was essential to have the understanding and cooperation of the Chinese people and secure a close relationship with Chinese government, thus there arises an issue on gathering strength for the solidarity between China and Korea. In this situation, the spiritual encouragement and material support from the Nationalist party (Kuomintang)was very effective to the development of the Korean independence movement against Japan. In other words, Chinese war against Japan and anti-Japanese movement of Korea made organic solidarity that anti-Japanese movement by Koreans helped China to win her war against Japan and Chinese victory had an impact on the independence of Korea. In the mean time, there were multifarious activities of Korean diplomacy in order to acquire approval of the provincial government established in the precincts of China, among which the preference was on the approval from the Chinese government by pressing the importance of the historical and political relationship of the two nations. Therefore, the security of Korean independence in the Cairo conferences in 1943 was not an accident but a result of the joint effort of diplomatic activity of the Korean provisional government headed by Kim Ku together with Chiang Kai-Shek of Kuomintaing, which can be marked as a victory of Chinese diplomacy. This paper first outlines the situation of Korean independent movement in China, and through the methodology of diplomatic history, it further analyzes structural problems of international politics that were a bar to the success of independent movement of the Korean provisional government during the second World War.
