In his chapter “Korea and the League of Nations: from Versailles to the Manchurian Crisis, 1919–1933” Dolf-Alexander Neuhaus examines the relationship between the Korean independence movement and the League of Nations. The chapter elucidates the complex interactions between non-sovereign entities like Korea under Japanese rule and the international organization, offering insights into how Koreans and anti-Japanese nationalists perceived and engaged with the League of Nations during the interwar period. In 1919, when the League was established, Koreans were denied the right to self-govern. However, individuals and factions within the Provisional Government of the Republic of Korea still sought to utilize the League for their ends in the 1920s and early 1930s. By exploring these diplomatic and political dynamics, the chapter presents a nuanced picture of Korea’s struggle for recognition and national self-determination within the broader context of international politics. The chapter is published in The League of Nations Experience: Overlapping Readings  (De Gruyter 2025).
