| Research Abstract |
As a result of the Sino-Japanese War, Korea became a country independent from China. This independence had two aspects for Korea: political as well as cultural. As for political independence, Korea adopted its own era names (1896), declared its name the Korean Empire, started to call its king emperor (1897), established the System of Korea (大韓国国制) (1899), and so on. As for cultural independence, Korea abolished the civil service examination system(科挙) and it adopted hangul (Korean alphabet Letters) as its official writing system. In order to be a truly independent nation, Korea needed to establish a national identity and, therefore, it needed to develop national culture. The fact that Korea needed to establish national culture was a unique aspect in the Korea's modernization process that Japan did not have to face.
