Battle of Ugeumchi

1894 battle in the Donghak Peasant Revolution

The Battle of Ugeumchi took place in the Ugeumchi area, from October 23 to November 11, 1894. It was a conflict between different factions, including the Donghak peasant army, the Capital Guards Command consisting of the Palace Guards (Gyeongricheong), Royal Escort Palace Guards (Jangwiyeong), and the Metropolitan Guards (Tongwiyeong), and the new well-trained Japanese-style Military Training Division (Hullyeondae), which were the elite forces of the Joseon government equipped with modern weapons and tactics. Despite the overwhelming numerical advantage of the peasant army, they were unable to break through the defensive line of the suppressing forces, who had superior weapons and tactics. The defeat in Ugeumchi led to the rapid disintegration of the peasant army and the loss of momentum in the Donghak Peasant Revolution.
