Establishment of the Korean Provisional Government
When Korea lost its sovereignty in 1910, some people argued for the creation of a democratic republican government and parliament. This argument secured historical legitimacy during the March 1st Movement, 1919, and was embodied through various governmental organizations such as the Korean National Council in Russian territory, the Korean Provisional Government in Shanghai, and the Hanseong Government in Seoul (Hanseong). After discussions in May, these three governmental organizations were merged into the Korean Provisional Government.
