The Japanese resident-general of Korea (Japanese: 韓国統監, romanized: Kankokutōkan; Korean: 일본의 대 한국통감, romanized: Ilbon-ui dae hangugtong-gam) was the leader of Korea under Japanese rule from 1905 to 1910. This post was highly hated among native Koreans, and international opinion regarded it as nothing more than an imperial sanction to ward off the imperial interests of China, Russia, and the Western Powers (collectively: Britain, France, and the United States).[citation needed]
