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.
