Some domestic factors that derived from repatriation from colonies after WW2, which influenced post-war Japan's normalization process with surrounding countries.

韩国人的当代历史问题源于战前的日本帝国主义。与当时的德国人和犹太人的关系不同，韩国人在被动员参加第二次世界大战时被视为日本人，这使得对被动员韩国人的赔偿问题与对二战结束前居住在韩国的日本人的赔偿问题密切相关。在韩国的日本人在被强制撤离时，失去了房产和住宅等私人财产。日本的国家和公共资产，包括他们的私人财产，被视为日本政府在和平条约被批准时即将进行的赔偿的替代品。驻韩美军站在这样的立场上，非常廉价地没收或下令出售日本的私人资产。战后日本遣返者回国后组织了几个压力团体，主要目的是让他们失去的私人外部资产得到日本政府的补偿。他们的财产被视为一些珍贵的物品，象征着他们自己和他们的祖先在朝鲜的第一次殖民生活。对他们来说，向日本政府提出的最重要的请求是让整个日本民族社会确认归国者的政治身份，他们是信奉亚洲主义和亚洲国家振兴事业的第一批开国元勋，而不是日本帝国主义的合作者。这些目标应该优先于他们的自然和不可或缺的要求，比如让不知名的兄弟姐妹尽快回来，或者让政府支持他们在日本重新定居。他们的要求非常有影响力，以至于政治上的保守党派都尊重他们。日本政府要求韩国政府赔偿损失的私人财产。1907年海牙国际战争条约确认了对私有财产的尊重，使其合法化。然而，在朝鲜方面，日本的私人资产一直被认为是殖民剥削的成果，80%的社会公共资产被日本人占领。韩国政府还主张，当新的民族自决原则出现时，国际准则已经发生了变化，甚至日本政府在接受波茨坦宣言时也承认了这一原则。韩国政府的根本问题是日本对被动员的韩国人和在日朝鲜人资产的国家赔偿。由于无法达成任何协议，两国之间的最终政治条约没有提及这些问题，只是同意日本向韩国提供经济公司，日本无偿向韩国提供贷款。这些条约掩盖了日本遣返者和被动员朝鲜人的主张，成为当代历史问题的根源之一。少

The contemporary historical problems concerning Koreans derive from pre-war Japanese empire. Different from German and Jewish relation in those days, Koreans had been regarded as Japanese when mobilized to the WW2, which had made the issues of reparations to mobilized Koreans closely related with other reparations to Japanese repatriates who had lived in Korea before the WW2 ended. Japanese residents in Korea had lost private properties such as real estates and houses when they were forced to be evacuated from Korea. Japanese national and public assets, including their private properties were regarded as substitute for Japanese government's coming reparation when a Peace treaty would be ratified. US army forces in Korea, standing on such position, confiscated or ordered to sell Japanese private assets very cheap.After returned to post-war Japan repatriates organized several pressure groups, the main aims of which was to get their lost private external assets compensated by Japanese gov … More ernments. Their properties were regarded as some precious goods which symbolized their own and their ancestors' first founding colonial lives in Korea.. For them the most important plead to Japanese government was to get the whole Japanese national community to confirm repatriates' political character as the first founding fathers who believed in causes of Asianism, revitalization of Asian countries, not as collaborators of Japanese imperialism at all. These aims were supposed to have been prior to their natural and indispensable demands, such as getting unknown siblings returned soon or getting the government to support their re-settlement in proper Japan.Their demands were so influential as to get political conservative parties to respect them. Japanese government called for a reparation for the lost private properties from Korean government. It was made legitimate based on Hague international treaties for war in 1907, which affirmed the respect for private properties. However, from Korean side, the Japanese private assets had been regarded as nothing but being accomplished by colonial exploitation, with 80% of social and public assets occupied by Japanese. South Korean government also advocated that international norm had already changed when a new principle of national self-determination appeared, and that even Japanese government recognized this principle, when Potsdam declaration was accepted. The fundamental problem for Korean government was Japanese national reparations for mobilized Koreans and Korean assets in Japan. Not being able to agree anything, the final political treaty between two countries did not mention these problems, only agreed upon Japanese economic corporation to Korea, with Japanese free loan donated to Korea. The claims of both Japanese repatriates and mobilized Koreans were obscured by these treaties, which became one of roots of contemporary historical issues. Less
