Lesson 3 Korean American Unity For Independence
Lesson Overview:
Woodrow Wilson’s efforts to make peace in Europe during the World War I inspired
movements for self-independence around the world. Korean students studying in Japan
were among the first to hear about Wilson’s Fourteen Points and contacted their fellow
Koreans in China, Japan, Hawaii, Korea, and the United States. By the March of 1919,
thousands of Korean nationalists organized public demonstrations against the Japanese
rule. Protests were held at numerous occasions where the “Korean Declaration of
Independence” was read.
