Abstract
After the "Madzi Revolution" of 1868, capitalism in Japan grew at a particularly high rate. Japan also felt the need for colonization. Therefore, Japan took active steps, first and foremost, to Korea and Manjuria. Japanese Foreign Minister Marx Ito announced that if China's interests in Korea are only historically important, Japan's interests will be linked to economic needs.
