The correct answer is C) The Russo-Japanese War.

The historical event where Japan gained control over Korea was the Russo-Japanese War.

With the victory of Japan over Russia in the Russian-Japanese War (1904-1905), Russian dropped its idea of expansion through the East of the continent. Russia wanted to control Korea and Manchuria. Japan impeeded that, and the victory represented the first time in modern history when an Asian army defeated a European army. That is why is correct to say that the historical event where Japan gained control over Korea was the Russo-Japanese War.
