Korean Patriotic Corps
The Korean Provisional Government adopted a policy of patriotic struggle to find a way out of the depressed independence movement in late 1931. Kim Gu (Kim Koo) had full authority over detailed actions, and the Provisional Government organized a Patriotic Corps to have “the most effect through the least sacrifice”. The Patriotic Corps worked actively with regions in Japan, Korea, and the frontline of Japanese aggression in China. Its activities created an international sensation and opened a path away from the Provisional Government’s difficulties.
