Abstract

1910, November 7th, Korea governor Derauchi-masadake(寺内正毅) reported 「Korea annexation beginning and end」 (韓國倂合始末) arranged the contracting process of ‘Korea-Japan annexation treaty’ to the home country government. He emphasized the annexation treaty ‘consensual treaty’ being in the report. Especially in August 22council in the Royal presence, Emperor Soonjong(純宗) wrote directly a his name in plenipotentiary letter of attorney and he did to make Great Seal press, pleasantly accepted a treaty, he emphasized. However, If you examine 「Korea annexation beginning and」 endcarefully, the main subject of the report with fact is different on a large scale. First, the annexation treaty violated the treaty contracting process which was decided by domestic law. Japan to avoid a Cabinet meeting in the treaty did not receive the consent of the Cabinet. Moreover, Japan did not keep their enforced procedures. Namely since 1907 Korean Empire had to meet with the Resident-general's approval about the law or the important agenda. But Japan fabricated this process. Moreover,Resident-general bribed Grand Chamberlain(侍宗院卿) Yun Deok-young(尹德榮) with money. In return Yun Deok-young stole Great Seal(國璽) and stamped on the plenipotentiary letter of attorney. This is an obvious illegal. In conclusion Resident-general Derauchi distorted, fabricated 「The Korea-Japan annexation beginning and end」 to hide the illegality of a treaty contracting and exaggerate his merits
