After experiencing wars with other countries, including the First Sino-Japanese War and the Russo-Japanese War, Japan expanded the its imperial rule over overseas colonies and other ethnic groups. In the process of the country’s imperial expansion, many Japanese people—military personnel, government officials, merchants, teachers, workers, farmers, etc.—emigrated to the colonies. In addition, as colonial cities and local transportation facilities were developed, international tourism boomed among Japanese people. Meanwhile, for example, many Koreans also emigrated to Manchuria or mainland Japan to escape poverty exacerbated by Japanese colonial rule. In this way, there was an increase in migration within the empire and between its colonies.
