Summary/Abstract: This article analyses the Latvian reading public’s perceptions of the Japanese annexation of Korea in 1910 based on an examination of a heretofore untapped source of information in the field of Korean studies: Latvian-language newspapers. The information and analysis of the events which appeared in Latvian press can be regarded as Latvian reflection of the situation in Korea and East Asia before WWI.
