ABSTRACT

This paper aims to examine how World War I was delivered to Joseon through the Maeil Shinbo (每日申報) . Japan declared neutrality when World War I broke out. However, the German-controlled regions of Zhouzhao Bay and Namyang Islands were later secured by presenting the logic of the war. Japan actively sought to cultivate followers beyond preventing the breakaway from its colonial rule. In the meantime, Japan argued for Asian solidarity beyond the imperial order centered on the West. This was an effort to enhance solidarity. Japan insisted on regionalism, which called for the unity of Asians by forming a confrontation between the Yellow and the White, using racism. However, the fundamental purpose was to secure Japan’s status as a hegemonic power in Asia.
