Though this force means the physical and military one, the potential structure of human spirit and intelligence behind it cannot be ignored, because force alone could never perpetuate the subjection of the conquered. In ruling an alien race, a conquering race eventually comes to resort to spiritual and intellectual means. It establishes a system to that end. And such a system comes to conflict with that of the conquered. The ruling race incriminates the acts of the dominated contravening its system.<br/>

In order to avert outright Japanese oppression, the independence movement of Koreans took to a form of legal stuggle under the name of new-culture movement. Nationalist leaders built schools. churches, and new industries, by which means they awakened the independent spirit of the Korean race.<br/>
