Korean Revolutionary Party

The Korean Revolutionary Party (KRP; Korean: 조선혁명당) was a socialist nationalist political party that was active in Korea during the 1920s and 1930s. It was founded in 1925 by a group of Korean exiles in China, and it aimed to overthrow Japanese colonial rule in Korea and establish an independent state. In 1929, the Korean Revolutionary Party carried out an armed uprising against the Japanese colonial government in Korea. The uprising, which took place in the South Hamgyong Province, was quickly suppressed by Japanese forces, and many of the party's leaders were arrested or killed.
