It is often said that the war truly starts during the Corean siege of Peking. It was in the capital of the Qing remnant state that some hardline Qing loyalists made a last stand, that in turn proved to last long enough to delay the invasion of Corea. However the overwhelming firepower and air power by the Coreans was enough and within 3 months the Qing forces are largely defeated. However at the end of those 3 months the Russians declare war on Corea, their first strike did not go into Manchuria as Corea suspected, rather it came from the air, a fleet of 95 bombers on the 9th of may conduct the first successful strategic bombing mission. The city of Sjimjang was razed to the ground by a firebombing campaign and many of the city's houses made out of wood were burned to the ground, setting the stage for the kind of war the conflict would become. |

After the [[Great War]] erupted in Europe in May 1935, the Russia entered an alliance with [[Great Britain]]. Afraid that the Russo-Corean conflict would merge with the Great War and possible British intervention in the war, the Netherlands declared that the kingdom was dropping out of the war. It was unprecedented move that neither Russia and Corea expected. Their withdrawal in the war was immediately recognized by Russia, and the Netherlands started pulling their troops out of Corea. This inflamed Dutch-Corean relations, and the Coreans saw it as a betrayal of alliances (which they had likened to the similar Dutch betrayal of the Qing during the [[Sino-Corean War|1st Sino-Corean War]]. During the withdrawal, there were reports of violence among Corean and Dutch soldiers, but these reports were mostly unconfirmed. |

Russia was eventually able to enter the Corean capital, Hansjang, in 1935. However, fighting continued to occur in Southern Corea. Late in that year, the royal family of Corea clandestinely fled to Viet-Nam, demoralizing the remaining Corean soldiers loyal to the emperor. Not long after, Corean Nationalist-Republicans and Russian collaborationists were placed to administer Corea. The war officially ended in 1936 with the signing of the Treaty of Hansjang. |
