Victims of Aggressive War

In the last century, the Japanese imperialists occupied Korea and expanded the war of aggression to the continent. They turned Korea into their base for war supplies and mobilized all the human and material resources on this land to the aggressive war. In particular, they made every desperate effort to give colonial slave education to the Korean children and make them cannon fodder for their war.

They frantically infused only the idea of servile submission into the minds of the children by fabricating and enforcing the "Primary School Ordinance" and "Private School Ordinance". They promulgated the "Elementary School Regulations" on March 31, 1941 in order to make the Korean children minions of their aggressive war.

Lecturer Choe Kyong Mi at the Central Class Education House said the evil law consisting of seven chapters and 92 articles is a concretized version of the "Elementary School Ordinance", and continued.

"The Japanese imperialists willfully merged and considerably reduced the existing subjects through the 'Elementary School Regulations'. They also ascribed their contents to infusing militarist spirit and servile obedience into schoolchildren.

And they attached importance to the subject of 'Physical Training' consistent with military drills and saw that 'martial arts' or 'gymnastics' were taught in its lesson.

They included army 'training' as a formal subject at the elementary schools from 1943 when the Pacific War and the Sino-Japanese War got fiercer. After all, all the subjects were militarized.

At that time, the Japanese imperialists gave rifles to the elementary school children and enforced military training such as march-past and shooting and even collective mock cavalry battle exercise every afternoon."

Even children forced to chant the pledge of an "imperial subject"

As said above, the Japanese imperialists forced the Korean people to fall victims to their aggressive war from childhood with the promulgation of the "Elementary School Regulations".

The Japanese imperialists can never be pardoned for the capital crimes they committed to make the Korean people their colonial slaves forever.
