For the ten years from the end of 19th century to early 20th century, there were three major wars in Northeast Asia such as the Sino-Japanese war(1894-1895), the Quelling War of the Yihetuan Movement(1900-1901), the Russo-Japanese war(1904-1905). While lighting public lives during those three major wars via war reports and related documents, I particularly became interested in sexual issues occurred on the war sites. There were so many prostitutes near the war sites, and the raping incidents were always massively happening and the military authorities were busy to provide prevention of a venereal disease and about military ‘comfort’.
Therefore, this essay firstly on chapter 1, explains how prostitutes of war sites were supplied via the real stste of affairs of them in Siberia, Manchu, Korea. The chapter 2 analyzed the operation of military comfort stations by military authorities during those three major wars and the actural conditions of the venereal disease control. The chapter 3 revealed the ineffectiveness of military comfort stations on the prevention of raping via real cases during the three major wars.
In Northeast Asia, as the Japan opened a port in the mid 19th century, the international movement of Japanese prostitutes was started. During Siberian development by Russia and Chinese Eastern Railway construction and three major wars, the number of prostitutes was surprisingly increased. During the Sino-Japanese war, the Japanese military authorities was troubled to prepare the prevention as the number of venereal disease infected soldier and military porters were increased in an alarming way. Therefore, in some occupation area military authorities selected the existing inlicensed prostitutions to run the regular venereal disease checkout then forced them to manage military comfort. During the Quelling War of the Yihetuan Movement, Russia for Manchu and the Eight Allies for Tianjin established various types of military comfort stations to try venereal disease management to prevent their spread. During the Russo-Japanese war, there was more systematic management based on cumulated experiences of war to prevent venereal disease. However, it was noticeable that the time flows towards the Russo-Japanese war, the Japanese ‘military comfort’ system or the venereal disease management were getting closer to the military comfort woman system of the Pacific war period.
Therefore, via above research, I can reveal the military comfort woman system is not suddenly appeared but is the integrated policy of various trials for military comfort and venereal disease managements during several experiences after the Sino-Japanese war. Also, it was revealed that one of motive to set military comfort stations that is ‘prevention of rape’ is only for superficial presentation and there were continuous rapes regardless of their establishments.
