ABSTRACT

Until now, textbooks on Korean history have been described as if The Provisional Government of the Republic of Korea[大韓民國 臨時政府] had neglected military activities due to his focus on diplomatic activities. This was naturally schematized into Syngman Rhee's theory of diplomatic independence[外交獨立運動論], Lee Dong-hwi's theory of anti-Japanese armed struggle[抗日武裝鬪爭 論], and Ahn Chang-ho's theory of ability training movement[實力養成 運動論], which eventually led to misunderstanding that it provided an excuse for the holding of the 1923 National Representative Assembly[國民代表會議]. However, the 'Independence War'[獨立戰爭] refers to the active development of anti-Japanese armed struggles, diplomatic independence movements, and ability training movements throughout Japanese colonial era in accordance with the theory of the independence war as a grand strategic theory. Additionally, there are two specific strategies for anti-Japanese armed struggles: domestic advance operation[國內進攻作戰] and patriotic struggle[義烈鬪爭]. In other words, the theory of anti-Japanese armed struggle is supported by large pillars. In conclusion, the theory of independence war can be said to be a driving shaft[驅動軸] that complements each other like cogs, rather than moving separately between diplomatic independence and ability training movement as well as anti-Japanese armed struggles. As such, the theory of independence war was an "all-out war of independence[全方位的獨立戰爭]" in which the entire nation participated.
