They failed to gain a hearing with the world powers, and emperor"s actions led to the Japanese forcing him to abdicate.
Hulbert"s 1906 book, The Passing of of Korea, criticized Japanese rule. He was not so much theoretically opposed to colonialism as he was concerned that modernization under the secular Japanese was inferior to a Christian-inspired modernization.
