A person who influenced Korean independence activists 100 years ago

One hundred years ago, when the wave of independence movement spread on the Korean peninsula during the Japanese occupation, there are unexpected people who inspired independence activists. It was Lajos Kossuth (1802 ~ 1894), who first worked independence movement in faraway Hungary. For the Korean independence activists, he was a senior.

In 1848, long before the independence movement was taking place in Korea, Hungary proclaimed its independence from the Austrian Empire and carried out a fierce revolutionary movement for a year and a half. At that time, the people who organized the national army and led the independence movement from the front is the Koshuto. He is called an independence movement hero in Hungary.

His reputation extended to the world, and in the early 20th century, Chinese intellectual, Qiqiao, published a biography of his life.

The history of Koshut describes in detail the independence movement process of Hungary, focusing on the work of the coshoot. Not only is his pathetic patriotism devoted to Hungarian independence, but it also contains specific struggles against the Austrian government and democratic discourses.

The book inspired hopes and courage to the Korean people who had fallen in the despair of the loss of national power at that time. Professor Chang-duk Dankook of Liberal Arts and Sciences said, "This shows the work of the political leaders of the Kosher and Hungarian political leaders, and gives a detailed description of the concept and knowledge of democracy, democracy, and democracy. It was a reference book function. "
