F A McKenzie was one of the few people besides missionaries to travel into the interior of Korea and report what he saw. "In those days, his contributions were quoted at great length in the newspapers of Tokyo, while the editorial columns expressed their appreciation of his marked capacity. So soon, however, as he found fault with the conditions prevailing in Korea, he was contemptuously termed a 'yellow journalist' and a 'sensation monger.'"--From "Empires of the Far East" by F. Lancelot Lawson. London. Grant Richards. In 1919 the Koreans began a peaceful revolution against the Japanese. When the Japanese had taken over Korea their intention was to assimilate the Koreans into Japanese culture. This is the story of Korea and its attempt to free itself from the control of Japan.
