History Background In 1895, the Government of Joseon abandoned its long continued diplomatic policy of ''Sadae'' (flunkeyism). Under this policy, Joseon was respecting political influence of China.

Political Office-holders Of The Korean Empire
Politics (from , ) is the set of activities that are associated with making decisions in groups, or other forms of power relations among individuals, such as the distribution of resources or status.
