The Beginnings of Japan’s Economic Hold over Colonial Korea, 1900-1919

For this first study in French language on the economics of the Japanese colonial empire, we have chosen to focus on the Korean case, from the establishment of the first railways on the peninsula in 1900 until the crisis of the colonial system in 1919 (March 1st Movement). The colonization of Korean...

The colonization of Korean was promising: an extensive land with a large population located very close to Japan. But rapidly, it was hampered by several grave difficulties. The colonial main infrastructures, as railways and banking system, suffered from, alternatively, the lack of investment and the “Manchuria policy” promoted by Terauchi Masatake. The industrial production remained marginal, despite its vigorous growth. This sector has been stimulated greatly by a stock-exchange fever starting in 1916, but suddenly collapsed as the bubble burst in 1919. The exterior trade of Korea (including with Japan) continued to increase its deficit. Japan used the colony just to obtain rice an iron ore, but the lack of investments in these sectors did not enable Korean production to compete successfully with other Asian producers (French Indochina, Taiwan, China etc.). This economic failure made the Japanese domination particularly unbearable to the Korean people: the bursting of the economic bubble in Japan just after the end of the War in Europe meant the end of any hope for a better life in the colony. The fast and high inflation, coupled with the absence of any economic policy, contributed greatly to the sparkling of the March First Movement. Pour cette première étude en français de l’économie coloniale japonaise, nous avons choisi de l’analyser à partir du cas de la Corée depuis l’aménagement des premiers rails japonais sur place en 1900 jusqu’à l’éclatement de la crise globale du joug colonial au lendemain de la Première Guerre mondiale (1919). La colonisation économique de la Corée promettait un développement important sur une terre étendue, peuplée et proche de la métropole. Elle a pourtant rapidement buté sur un certain nombre d’obstacles. Les infrastructures coloniales fondamentales, les finances et le chemin de fer, ont souffert tantôt d’un manque d’investissements, tantôt de la politique mandchourienne promue par Terauchi Masatake. La production industrielle et manufacturière resta marginale, malgré son développement relativement précoce et important : stimulé par une fièvre boursière à partir de 1916, le secteur s’effondra avec l’éclatement de la bulle en 1919. Commercialement, la colonie fut déficitaire en permanence et de manière exponentielle. La métropole n’y voyait qu’une source d’approvisionnements en riz et minerai de fer, alors même que la production coréenne ne pouvait concurrencer l’offre environnante (Indochine et Taiwan pour le riz, Chine pour le fer)… du fait du manque d’investissements. Cette faiblesse de la métropole en Corée rendit la domination japonaise particulièrement insupportable : l’effondrement de la bulle métropolitaine suivant la fin de la guerre mondiale fut aussi celui de tout espoir socio-économique en Corée. L’inflation galopante et l’absence de véritable politique de développement favorisèrent et précipitèrent l’avènement du Mouvement du 1er Mars 1919.
