The '''Eulsa Treaty''' was made between [[Korean Empire]] and [[Empire of Japan|Japanese Empire]] on [[17 November]] [[1905]], influenced by the result of the [[Russo-Japanese War]]. The delegates of the both Empires had exchanged the arguments to solve the matter that the [[Gojong of Joseon|Emperor Gojong of Korea]]({{lang|kr|고종;高宗}}) sent a secret envoy [[Lee yoongyong-Yik]]({{lang|kr|이용익;李容翊}}) to France, and unilaterally breaking the [[Treaty of Ganghwa]], which was admitted by the Korean minister of Justice [[Lee Ha-Young]], then modified the contents of the treaty to-be in advance. Through the treaty, Korea ceded its foreign diplomacy to the [[Empire of Japan|Japanese Empire]], became a [[protectorate]] of Japan, and in effect ceded its national sovereignty to Japan until the [[Korean Empire]] was empowered under the treaty.

Throughout the procedure of negotiation, Japanese troops were present near the palace in Korea, which some interpretted as a threat of retribution upon non-compliance. This and other preceived irregularities led some to dispute its authority, though it remained uncontested internationally until Japan's defeat in World War II, and subsequently was mutually declared null and void explicitly by the Basic Treaty between Japan and Korea of 1965 without ever experience a formal challenge.
