In page Itō Hirobumi:

"

While seeking to expand his nation's claims in the Asian mainland, Itō Hirobumi sought to avoid conflict with the Russian Empire through the policy of Man-Kan kōkan, the proposed surrender of Manchuria to Russia's sphere of influence in exchange for the recognition of Japanese hegemony in Korea. However, his attempts at diplomacy failed, thereby resulting in the Russo-Japanese War (1904–1905).[citation needed] Itō's final major role was as the first Resident-General of Korea, a position he assumed in March 1906 following the establishment of Japan's protectorate over Korea via the Japan–Korea Treaty of 1905 in November 1905.[1] This period of his career is among the most controversial, directly preceding Japan's full annexation of Korea in 1910.
