Korean Garrison Army

Japanese: 朝鮮駐劄軍 - ちょうせんちゅうさつぐん

The Japanese Army was organized immediately after the outbreak of the Russo-Japanese War and was stationed in Korea throughout Japan's colonial rule after the Japan-Korea Annexation. After the Treaty of Amity and Commerce between Japan and Korea was concluded in 1876, Japanese army units were stationed in Korea, starting with a garrison stationed in Seoul, based on the Treaty of Chemulpo concluded after the Imo Military Uprising in 1882. The Treaty of Tianjin concluded between Japan and China in 1885, the year after the Gapsin Coup, resulted in both Japanese and Chinese forces withdrawing from Korea, but during the First Sino-Japanese War, Japanese troops were sent to Korea in large numbers, and a garrison of the embassy remained in Korea even after the war ended. Furthermore, the Japan-Russia Agreement of 1896 (Komura-Weber Memorandum) promised to keep Japanese troops stationed there to protect the telegraph lines between Seoul, Busan, Wonsan, and Gyeongbuk-do, a situation that continued until just before the Russo-Japanese War.

日露戦争開戦直後に編成され，日韓併合を経て日本による植民地支配の時期を通じて朝鮮に駐屯した日本の陸軍。日朝修好条規締結(1876)後，日本の陸軍部隊が朝鮮に常駐したのは，1882年壬午軍乱後結ばれた済物浦条約にもとづき，ソウルに駐屯した守備隊をはじめとする。甲申政変の翌年，85年に日清間で結ばれた天津条約で，日清両軍は朝鮮から撤退したが，日清戦争で日本軍が大挙朝鮮に出兵し，戦争終了後も公使館守備隊が駐屯，さらに96年の日露協定(小村=ウェーバー覚書)で，ソウル，釜山，元山および京釜間電信線保護のため日本軍の常駐が約され，この状況が日露戦争直前まで続いた。
