Slavery In Korea

Reading about the First Sino-Japanese War (which lead to Japan acquiring Taiwan) - it was only after this war, did the Japanese - of all people - abolish slavery in Korea in 1895. The world is much more complex and strange than you think.

Also note: the Japanese lost more men in the insurrection within Taiwan after they defeated China (Qing) in the First-Sino War. Basically, the Qing gave up Taiwan to Japan, but the people on Taiwan waged a guerrilla war where over 100,000 Japanese troops were needed to suppress the insurrection. Japanese basically just slaughtered villagers they suspected to be part of the resistance. Much of these people hid in the mountains. I'm telling you - Taiwan will not be easy to take over.
