During which historical event did japan gain control over korea? a) the sino-japanese war b) the meiji restoration c) the russo-japanese war d) the tokugawa shogunate

The correct answer is C) The Russo-Japanese War.

The historical event where Japan gained control over Korea was the Russo-Japanese War.

With the victory of Japan over Russia in the Russian-Japanese War (1904-1905), Russian dropped its idea of expansion through the East of the continent. Russia wanted to control Korea and Manchuria.
