Ahn Junggeun's "A Treatise on Peace in the East"

안중근의 동양평화론 - Ahn Junggeun's "A Treatise on Peace in the East"
By Ahn Junggeun
Read in 7th Grade
This treatise was written by Ahn shortly before his death sentence for killing the unjust Japanese ruler of Korea, Ito Hirobumi. He explains how Japan came to occupy Korea in the first place, all the atrocities they have committed since, and his final rationale for killing Hirobumi. Today, he is a national hero as a freedom fighter, having given his own life in the process.
