This is the Iksan Modern History Museum in Jeollabuk-do, South Korea. In 1908, the Oriental Development Corporation (Dongcheok) entered Iri. 'Takushoku' refers to colonial development. Dongcheok was an organization created by the Japanese for the purpose of exploiting Joseon's land and resources, and its founder was Ito Hirobumi. After exploiting the land, Dongcheok moved Japanese poor farmers and placed Korean tenant farmers under them to manage the farms. During the period when Dongcheok was active, as many as 300,000 Koreans were deprived of their farmland and farmland and driven out to Manchuria by 1926, and the number of Japanese farmers increased to nearly 10,000 households. Iri was a commercial city formed around Iri Station, and was also an agricultural city connected to the surrounding rural areas. These are farms near Iri established until the 1910s. Starting with the Imamura Farm in Daejangchon in 1896, as many as 13 farms were created in Iri alone by 1918. According to the records of the Japanese at the time, Iri had the best conditions as an agricultural land because first, the land was fertile, which means that there was no need to worry about benefits if the irrigation project was completed, and third, transportation was convenient due to the opening of the railroad. The March 1st Movement in Iri and Iksan took place on March 10 and April 4. The March 10th Independence Movement began with the organized distribution of the Declaration of Independence by the Iksan Diocese of Cheondoism, and on the same day, there was the Independence Movement led by Park Sa-guk and others in Yeosan. The April 4th Independence Movement was led by the Osan Namjeon Church. Cheondoism and Christianity in Iksan had been in close contact and cooperation since the beginning of the March 1st Movement. The largest Independence Movement in Iri began on April 4th at the Iri Market (now Nambu Market). Before that, the Taegeukgi and the Declaration of Independence were created for three days at the homes of Park Da-yeon, Jeong Gun, and Kim Man-su of the Namjeon Church. And on the night of April 3, instructions such as “gather at church tomorrow morning” and “dress in white hanbok” were delivered through the leaders of Namcham Village, Bukcham Village, and Yeongseong Village. The church members and students who were to participate in the independence demonstration stayed up all night. Iri was the heart of modern Korean agriculture since the Japanese colonial period. In April 1948, the government reorganized Ira Agricultural School into Iri Agricultural College. Later, when Jeonbuk National University was established in 1951, Ira Agricultural College became Jeonbuk University Agricultural College, the predecessor of Jeonbuk National University. In March 1963, Jeonbuk University Agricultural College in Iri City moved to Jeonju Deokjin Compass, and Iri Agricultural and Forestry High School was built in its place. Geumma was the center of Guiksan. This place, which was the capital of the old Mahan and the royal capital of Baekje, was a blessed land with a plain centered around Yonghwasan and Mireuksan. It was only natural that the foundation of an ancient nation was established and powerful families flourished in this vast and abundant land. Before Gunsan opened as a port and the Jeon-gun road was opened, Geumma was the largest and most prosperous city between Jeonju and Gam-gyeong. The current Iksan City is a city that was formed by the integration of Iri City and Iksan County. Iri started as a small village in the Juhyeon-dong area and became the center of a modern city along with Iri Station. It was in 1947, after liberation, that the Iri City-Iksan County form was solidified. At that time, Iri-eup was separated from Iksan County and became an independent Iri-bu. In May 1980, the heat of democratization was also burning hot in Iri. On April 28 of that year, the student council formed through direct voting by Wonkwang University students stood at the center of it. On May 7, at the democratization promotion conference hosted by the student council, Wonkwang University students adopted eight resolutions, including expanding freedom of the press and autonomy of the academy, and staged a protest on campus. The next day, 3,000 Wonkwang University students left the school gate, broke through the police barricade, and marched to the Iri Station plaza, 3 km away, to stage a protest. #Domestic travel #Travel plans #February travel subsidy event
