Line 94:
In December 1935, Russian forces were able to land in the formerly Dutch-controlled port of Poesjan located in the south of Corea. During this time, reports of defection within the Corean army was rampant, and morale was low. As Russian and Chinese troops continue to march within Corea, Corean strategy shifted from active fighting to stalling their enemies and hoping that their alliance with France and the rest of the Tripartite Coalition would pay off. Corea had hoped of French reinforcements, but was very unlikely due to the blockade of the Corean Sea by joint Sino-Japanese ships. By the summer of 1936, with morale & supplies running low, the Corean royal family fled the country in the dead of night during a storm (in a hope to run the blockade). They are successful and eventually end up in Viet-Nam using their connections to the Nguyen dynasty to seek refuge. The Corean royal family was smuggled out of Corea by a group of Viet-Namese sympathizers which posed as a humanitarian organization providing relief and aid.
==== The Treaty of Hansjang ====
[[File:Aftermath of the russo corean war innismaps.jpg|thumb|316x316px|Aftermath of the Russo-Corean War (1936)]]The Coreans finally surrendered on April 1936 with the publication of the Treaty of Hansjang. Under the treaty, Corea ceded [[Poeja]] to Russia and Haboek to China. Corea was reduced to its core territories, and a nominally independent National Republican government was established. The monarchy of Corea was abolished and its royal family expelled. Poeja was integrated into Russia as an Autonomous National Republic.
=== Tripartite Coalition Gains (1936-1937) ===
Despite the Coreans out of the war, the Tripartite Coalition was steadily making gains throughout late 1936 to early 1937.
