Korean laborers in combat roles during WWII

During World War II, American soldiers frequently encountered Korean soldiers within the ranks of the Imperial Japanese Army. Most notably was in the Battle of Tarawa, which was considered during that time to be one of the bloodiest battles in U.S. military history. A fifth of the Japanese garrison during this battle consisted of Korean laborers who were trained in combat roles. Like their Japanese counterparts, they put up a ferocious defense and fought to the death.

This paragraph in the article cites two sources, but neither of them claims Korean laborers were trained in combat roles. Are there any better sources for if Koreans, effectively slave laborers the Japanese brought in to make up manpower shortages, actually fought against American troops? If so, did they hate Americans or were they at gunpoint from the Japanese?

I believe that the Korean laborers were youths and untrained in combat, which would explain the lack of source material.

I remember hearing somewhere that there were Korean kamikaze pilots who flew for Japan. – Illegitimate Barrister (talk • contribs), 23:41, 24 June 2020 (UTC)

Link to disambiguation page in infobox

In the first infobox (Template:Infobox country), the word 'government' links to Politics of Korea. It somehow does this automatically, I've looked at the template syntax but I can't figure out why it does. However, Politics of Korea is a disambiguation page, because the topic can refer to the politics of Joseon Korea, South Korea or North Korea - none of which are applicable here, so it shouldn't link to anything at all. I don't now how to fix this, however! Lennart97 (talk) 19:34, 2 November 2020 (UTC)

Inconsistencies on cause of death of Yi Tjoune in Misplaced Pages

This article cites a source that he commited suicide. However, Hague_Secret_Emissary_Affair claims that this is a myth, but I don't find any sources for that. The Wiki page on Yi Tjoune claims that his cause of death is unkown, which is maybe a more careful statement, though it is lacking sources as well. So I think it should be good to:

find and compare (contradictory) sources on Yi Tjoune
choose a more careful, neutral phrasing
make it consistent the different Misplaced Pages pages mentioning his death

I just found this problem was already mentioned Talk:Hague_Secret_Emissary_Affair#Did_Yi_Tjoune_commit_suicide? --Elimik31 (talk) 12:37, 22 November 2020 (UTC)

Article is Focused on Atrocities, Neglects Beneficial Development

There's no doubt that negative events and atrocities occurred during colonial rule. Nearly every colony during the age of colonialism suffered. Many indigenous people did not survive colonialism and became (near)-extinct such as in North / South America, Australia. This article is too focused on that, while omitting or downplaying positive development that occurred during that era. The chapter called "Legacy" focusses almost exclusively on negative events. So it would be more fair to (while keeping objective existing content) also include or expand with information about (please see the Japanese Wiki page for more information ja:日本統治時代の朝鮮:

Improvement of education system and improvement of literacy rate
Currency, banks
Korean suffrage
Traffic development, infrastructure (railroad, automobile, bicycle, ferry, aviation)
Development of resorts (hot springs, climbing, ski, parks, pools, waterfalls, beaches)
Culture (expositions: Joseon Industrial Exhibition of 1915, local specialty (food), fashion / makeup changes during colonial rule, Theater, dance, music, art, sports, movies, broadcast, beverages)
City development: important historical buildings during this era.
Industrialization projects
Projects for modernization

This is feedback to help make the article balanced and hopefully others who are more knowledgeable about the subject can improve it. - Artanisen (talk) 10:36, 13 May 2021 (UTC)

The article you've linked contains only one reference, which is to another JP Misplaced Pages article. I guess I'll look in the stuff in the Further Reading to see if it's got anything to try and balance it out, but I wouldn't be surprised if I end up having a hard time finding any authors who have anything positive to say about the Japanese Empire. Loafiewa (talk) 10:48, 13 May 2021 (UTC)

The Japanese wiki page has lots of references which are useful. You could also check wiki pages in other languages about this subject. So your statement that "a hard time finding any authors who have anything positive to say" is false and a biased attitude. - Artanisen (talk) 10:54, 13 May 2021 (UTC)
