Talk:Treaty of Amity and Commerce

What do you know about the Eulsa treaty? http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E7%AC%AC%E4%BA%8C%E6%AC%A1%E6%97%A5%E9%9F%93%E5%8D%94%E7%B4%84

I bet you can read about it on the Japanese Wikipedia. --Ed Poor ^Talk 13:29, 6 January 2009 (EST)

I know very little (my high school history was taught outside Japan) but I will have a look at it - thank you. I see there actually three treaties - this is the second one (2nd Japan-Korea treaty). LOL! I see it is not just English WP that has NPOV problems. This starts with "kono kiji ha chuuritsu teki na kanten ni motoduku gimon ga teishutsu sa re te iru ka, aruiha giron chuu desu. sono tame katayotta kanten niyotte kiji ga kousei sa re te iru kanou sei ga ari masu. kuwashiku ha nooto o sanshou shi te kudasai" which basically means "This article is under discussion as its neutral point of view is questionable. This article may have a biased perspective, please see the notes." The 3 treaties could make for an interesting project. --KotomiT^{ohayougozaimasu} 13:47, 6 January 2009 (EST)

The only thing I know about the Eulsa treaty is that the Unification Church has condemned it, comparing it in some respects to the Holocaust. Specifically, it marks the beginning of a 40-year period of Japanese domination of Korea. Note, however, that Rev. Moon's theology contains a lengthy historical part which highlights 40 and 400 year periods. --Ed Poor ^Talk 18:02, 7 January 2009 (EST)
