중일전쟁기 대한민국 임시정부에 대한 중화민국 국민정부의 지원

Abstract

This study has solidly organized the support of the Korea Provisional Government by the National Government of the Republic of China during the period of the Sino-Japanese War. In particular, this study focuses on the financial, military and diplomatic supports, which were the key parts among the various support projects conducted by the National Government of the Republic of China for the Korea Provisional Government. First, referring to financial aids, the National Government of the Republic of China did not accept all the requests for funds by the Korea Provisional Government, nor did it help the Korea Provisional Government with funds promptly. However, it was really true that the National Government of the Republic of China provided a large amount of money for the Korea Provisional Government during the period of the Sino-Japanese War. Second, in terms of military matters, the National Government of the Republic of China conducted the dual policies of ‘controlling and supporting’ the Liberation Army of the Korea Provisional Government. Third, in relation to diplomatic matters, the National Government of the Republic of China backed up or insisted on ‘the approval of the Korea Provisional Government’ and ‘the accreditation of the independence of Korea’ in the international society, though it could not realize such agendas due to its lack of power. In short, during the period of the Sino-Japanese War, the National Government of the Republic of China actively responded to the requests from the Korea Provisional Government despite its lack of power, and provided financial, military and diplomatic supports for the Korea Provisional Government. This clear fact is very important in the history of the Independence Movement of Korea, the early modern Korea-China relationships, and the Korea-China Joint Anti-Japanese War.
