영문 초록

The Russo-Japanese rivalry has happened in the Korean bank of the Yalu River between February, 1903 and February, 1904. It’s been Known as the terms “the Yalu Crisis”, “the Yalu Issue” and “The Yongampo Incident” in the Russo-Japanese War Studies. It has various accidents involved; the Japanese acquisition of the Seoul-?iju Railway concession right, the exploitation of the Yalu timber concession, Russia’s lease of Yongampo, The opening of ?iju and Yongampo etc. And It is a well- known fact that this has been widely regarded by scholars as the immediate cause of war. In this study, I try to reconsider the immediate cause of war based on the Global international relations. I especially refocus on the Yalu Crisis in the Korean peninsula in 1903. The rivalry which emerged over control of Yalu frontier of the Korean peninsula does not represent a simple episode which originated between the conflict between Russia and Japan. The Yalu Crisis led directly to the outbreak of the Russo-Japanese War, and eventually resulted in providing Japan with the opportunity not only to protect and annex Korea, but also to penetrate Manchuria. The Yalu Crisis and the Russo-Japanese War should be perceived as important historical incidents on a scale similar to the Morrocan Crisis which eventually resulted in the advent of World War Ⅰ. Moreover, the Yalu Crisis can be regarded as the direct precursors of the eventual crisis which engulfed East Asia This is the reason why the ‘Korean problem’ was important enough to result in the outbreak of the Russo-Japanese War, which has been referred to as a World War Zero, and why the Yalu Crisis should be reanalyzed not only at the Korean history level but at the level of Global history. As mentioned above, I was reconsiderd the Korean problem, especially the Yalu Issues. The reason why is that the Yalu Crisis holds the Key to the solution of the question about the origin of the War. However, studies on the Russo-Japanese War should be carried out not only from diverse standpoints that include Manchuria and the Korean peninsula, but also incorporate the global international relations which emerged during the early period of the 20th century. This approach would help us enhance a better understanding of the characteristics of the Russo-Japanese War. To achieve this, first of all, more efforts should be put into uncovering the actual nature of the Yalu Crisis which unfolded on the Korean peninsula during the period surrounding the outbreak of the Russo-Japanese War.
