ABSTRACT

The aim of this study is to examine the effects of changes in European international relations after the Russo-Japanese War on the defense plan of the Russian Far East and the Korean independence movements in the Primorsky province. It was characteristic that the Russian Far East's defense reconstruction project after the Russo-Japanese war was linked with a change in the Tsar government's foreign policy that was the first priority of European region. The Tsar government's focus of foreign policy shifted from Far East to Europe caused by offering large loans to the Russia from Britain and France, which tried to keep Germany in check against European imperialistic hegemony. Thus, the Tsar government set the Baltic Fleet in reconstructing the Russian Navy by pursuing European priorities after the Russo-Japanese war, while the Pacific Fleet remained not rebuilt. As a result, The Project for defence enhancement in the Russian Far East remained unfinished till the outbreak of World War I. After the Russo-Japanese War, Tsar government's defense of the Far East had to rely on diplomacy with Japan. This policy not only limited the Korean independence movement in Russia, but also motivated the Japanese intervention of Siberia (1918-1922) after the Bolshevik Revolution. Therefore, the plan (1910) of the Russian minister of Army to cooperate with Korean independent movements troops to defend the Maritime Province led to the history of Korean partisan units cooperating with Soviet army to oust Japanese troops from Siberia.
