The Foreign Settlement of Western Powers in Asia was established for the purpose of free trade and settling their citizens, enjoying the extra-territoriality.
The beginning of Foreign Settlement in Asia was made in China by Western Powers and it was overlapped by the invasion into the Chinese sovereignty.
The Japanese Settlement in Korea was established in Pusan, Wonsan, Inchon, Masan, Kunsan and Chinnampo during Lee-dynasty, pretending to promote the good-neighbour-hood through he Korea-Japan relation, especially diplomatic contacts and commercial trade.
However, a treaty-port was erected in Pusan according to Kwang-Wha Island Theaty by which Korea was turned into open-country and openport; subsequently Pusan Settlement was set up by Pusan Settlement Menorandum.
In this article, I have attempted to examine the invasive role of Japanese Settlement in Korea. Then I have found that the roles of Japanese Settlement in Korea are two. One is the economic function from the open-country to Chino-Japanese war and the other is the military strategical function from the Chino-Japanese war to the Russo-Japanese war. In addition to this, I have compared the character of the Japanese Settlement in Korea with the China's. Here I have also found that the character of the Japanese Settlement in Korea is the mixed form of Leased Territory and Fereign Settlement in China.
Continually, I will study how Japanese Settlement in Korea was linked with the marine transportation of Korea during Lee-dynasty.
