1902 -- The missions of Germany, France and Russia hold secret talks in the Russian residence in Seoul seeking ways to gain operating rights to Korean railways and mines. Western countries, as well as China and Japan, competed to reap profits from Korea. The country lost its sovereignty to imperial Japan in 1910 and was liberated 35 years later.


1904 -- The first group of Koreans to immigrate to Hawaii sets sail from the western port of Incheon. The 120 emigrants left their colonized homeland for a better life on the group of U.S. islands, where they would work mainly on sugar cane plantations. It was not until the 1950s that Koreans began to spread across the United States. There are now more than a million ethnic Koreans living there.


1944 -- Imperial Japan enforces a rice collection order on Korean farmers across the country, forcing them to send their produce to Japan, which was spending extensively on its military during World War II. Brass household objects, such as spoons, chopsticks and kitchen knives, were also collected to make weapons. The excessive exploitation caused many Korean farmers to leave their homes for northeastern China or any place they could feed their families.


1992 -- South and North Korea agree to standardize their Romanization system for the Korean alphabet.


1994 -- North Korean leader Kim Il-sung holds talks with former U.S. President Jimmy Carter in Pyongyang and agrees to meet his South Korean counterpart. Kim, however, died the following month. An inter-Korean summit did not take place until June 15, 2000, when his son and successor Kim Jong-il met then-President Kim Dae-jung of South Korea.


1995 -- South Korea and North Korea hold a meeting of vice ministers in Beijing to discuss rice aid from the South to the North. Seoul has been the biggest provider of food and energy to Pyongyang.


2005 -- South Korea's Unification Minister Chung Dong-young meets with North Korean leader Kim Jong-il in Pyongyang. Chung visited the North Korean capital as head of a South Korean delegation for inter-Korean events marking the fifth anniversary of the inter-Korean summit held in June 2000.

1918 -- The Japanese colonial regime completes a research project on land ownership in Korea after eight years of collecting data. The large-scale project officially promoted documenting land ownership on the peninsula and modernizing data management, but ended up leading to the consolidation of land acquisitions by the Japanese, who had not been legally allowed to own land in Korea.
Many Korean farmers lost their property during the registration process, and their land was sold to Japanese companies or individuals. Japan colonized the Korean Peninsula from 1910-1945.


1953 -- Then President Syngman Rhee releases 25,000 anti-communist North Korean prisoners of war from a prison camp on the southeastern island of Geoje, where there was frequent conflict between sympathizers of the North and the South. The release was made about one month before the signing of an armistice that ended the 1950-53 Korean War.


1964 -- South Korea signs a trade treaty with Burma.


1976 -- The South Korean government announces its fourth economic development plan. The administration under then general-turned-President Park Chung-hee first introduced a five-year plan in 1962 to industrialize the then agriculture-based economy. Together, the plans helped large companies grow and households raise their incomes, but the nation had to shoulder heavy debts from other countries to finance the projects.


2002 -- The South Korean national soccer squad defeats Italy 2-1 and advances to the quarterfinals of the World Cup. South Korea, which co-hosted the tournament with Japan, made it to the semifinals before falling to Germany.

1960 -- U.S. President Dwight D. Eisenhower visits South Korea in his second trip to the nation after his visit to the Korean combat zone in December 1952.


1981 -- South Korea proposes to North Korea the creation of a joint team for the 1984 Olympic Games in Los Angeles. The two countries ultimately failed in the effort as South Korea accused the North of kidnapping and other terrorist acts.
