The Gabo Reforms, also known as the Kabo Reform, were a series of significant changes implemented in Korea from 1894 to 1896, during the reign of Gojong of Korea, in response to the Donghak Peasant Revolution. This period of reform was marked by the introduction of modernizing policies, aimed at transforming Korea's political, social, and economic systems. Historians continue to debate the extent of Japanese influence on these reforms and their overall impact on Korea's modernization. The reforms were named after the year 1894 in the traditional sexagenary cycle, known as Gabo or Kabo.
