In 1895, Japanese soldiers, gangsters and pro-Japan Koreans murdered the Korean Queen Myeongseong.
In 1904, Great Japan Empire attacked Russian Empire without declaration of war and won it.
In 1905, Japan took control of southern part of Sakhalin(Karafuto), and Japan forced Russia to not oppose Korea becoming a protectorate of Japan. In November 1905, Japan and Korea signed Eulsa Treaty(을사조약) which made Great Korean Empire a protectorate of Japan. As a result of the treaty, all foreign diplomatic offices left Korea because Korea was "immature" in its diplomacy so all diplomacy needed to be done by "mature" Japan. The US supported Korea being a protectorate of Japan by the Katsura-Taft Agreement.
In 1907, the Imperial Korean military was disbanded. Japanese Resident General Ito Hirobumi forced the Emperor of Korea to resign. These actions ignited military resistance movements, but Japanese occupants managed to suppress the resistance fighters.
A Japanese soldier captured a Korean independence leader Chae Eung Eon in 1915. He was executed by the occupants.
In 1909, a Korean activist Ahn Jung Geun (안중근) assassinated Ito Hirobumi who was the Japanese Resident-General of Korea, and he was Japanese Prime Minister before he became the Resident-General. He intervened in Korea’s diplomacy and internal affairs, but he opposed the Japanese annexation of Korea. After his death, there were few Japanese top officials who opposed the annexation.
In 1910, Korean Prime Minister Yi Wan Yong (이완용) and Japanese Resident-General Terauchi Masatake signed the annexation treaty. Lee Wan Yong was a pro-Japan politician.
