Abstract

During the colonial period, Tonkin, Annam and Cochinchina of Vietnam were an integral part of the French Indochina. Meanwhile, after having pacified the Korean people’s resistance, Japan gradually established her colonial administration in Korean peninsula. Korea and Vietnam trade relations therefore depended much on the economic policies of the metropolitan and colonial governments. In the first decades of the twentieth century, the trade relation between colonial Korea and French Indochina was a one-way street. Japan imported rice from Saigon and became a big rice importer of Indochina. In Korean markets, rice imported from Indochina was called Annam rice. Together with the process of political and military repression, a control system to monopolize the domestic and foreign trade by the Japanese colonial government was established in Korea, in which agricultural products were an ultimate concern. In early 1945, facing the promptly military changes in Europe, the Japanese staged a coup d’état, overthrowing the French in Indochina. To facilitate their war economy, the Japanese tightened their control of economy. The Indochinese foreign trade was monopolized by Japanese companies. Many basic foods, especially rice in Korea and Vietnam were plundered to serve the war. These economic policies caused serious aftermaths for the colonial people. It was one of the reasons that motivated the Vietnamese and Korean people in their struggles against the Japanese in August 1945.
