Terauchi Masatake's Colonial Rule

Terauchi Masatake

Serving as the first Japanese Governor-General of Korea, Terauchi Masatake enforced a rigorous military police rule to suppress dissent and orchestrate the formal annexation of Korea in 1910. Later acting as prime minister, his hardline administrative policies defined the aggressive peak of Japanese colonial domination in East Asia.
