This war was fun to learn about!
Yes it was.
2nd i think
I am korean so I had to learn it mandatorily 😂
Thank you for this video, it is so nice to see the events I read through textbooks happening live on the map
This is a treat to our democracy
This was a challenge to the Sinocentric, Confucian world order in East Asia. It proved cohesive because both the Jurchens and Siamese offered support to China out of loyalty
Nice! It's cool to see this one get covered. I like the bilingual city labels as well. I actually didn't know that Korea and China refused support from the Jurchens, so that was interesting.
A couple points about the city labels, though--the suffix -시 wasn't added to Korean city names until modern times, and Busan was called Dongnae County (동래군) back then. Also, the city you labeled as Cheongju is actually Jeonju (Cheongju is further up northeast).
Also when the Jurchens invaded Korea, Japan offered support, but Korea refused
Nagasaki in Japan is also a modern invention. The video was fabulous but I don't think those city labels reflect any historic settlements back then
@@whtfl In fact, Jurchens and Koreans fought many times throughout their history. The invasion i’m referring to is in 1627. The Jurchens became Manchus in 1635
Hail to legend

it's so hilarious that hideyoshi thought he could just try again
Bro was trucebreaking
He watched too much anime

That reminds me of bill wurtz
it dose not help that both sides negotiators told there leaders that the other side wanted to be there vassal
Toyotomi Hideyoshi forced the invasion, but there were no samurai at the time who could defy him as he had become the ruler of Japan. The war also left a strong dissatisfaction among the samurai because of the unnecessary sacrifices they had to make. In particular, the feudal lords of eastern Japan, who had only followed Hideyoshi in form, were deeply dissatisfied in their hearts. This was especially true in northern Japan, where Hideyoshi's forces thoroughly annihilated the daimyo and farmers of the northern region who resisted the invasion.
After Hideyoshi's death, many daimyo switched sides to Tokugawa Ieyasu. This became an opportunity for Tokugawa Ieyasu to unify Japan after Hideyoshi's death.
Hideyoshi was a brilliant warrior in his youth, but in his old age, his behavior was marked by his personal feelings.
No, Hideyoshi originally served a great busho (Japanese military commander) called Nobunaga Oda. And Nobunaga Oda's dream was to unify Japan, and after that, to make the world safe, such as the unification of Asia. However, Nobunaga Oda was assassinated by his vassals
That's why Hideyoshi, who took over Nobunaga's will, tried to attack the world. The first step was China. In attacking China, I tried to cooperate with Korea, but Korea refused. So Hideyoshi thought about attacking Korea and taking the Korean Peninsula first.
@@こんにちは-h8n It could also be argued Hideyoshi attacked Korea for weakening the daimyo by expending their samurai
@@こんにちは-h8nHideyoshi attacked Korea/China out of his Personal ambition. This, ampered by the fact that China was a long Lost dream of Oda Nobunaga, and the need of spending the daimyos resources, led to the invasion. But ultimately, Hideyoshi invaded (and re-invaded) because of his ambition. Its well known How furious he was after Yukinaga Konishi deceived him in the peace agreenents: he wanted large chuncks of Korea, and even a daughter of Chinese emperor as Wife. This is no ordinary dream: his personal feelings really messes him up in old age.
@@Joao-jx1lohe got cocky after successfully reunited japan.
@@mimorisenpai8540 he was a very brutal man, much more brutal in his old age than Nobunaga ever was. Althoug he was indeed a Military Genius, and, to be Fair, Korea and China could have been conquered. Even the spaniards planned initially on attacking Ming, because the Middle Kingdom couldnt really put all of its manpower to use. Ultimately, Yi Sun-Shin is the major, If not the only reason, for the invasion to fail.
The Qing Dynasty and Tokugawa Ieyasu gained the most from this war😅
aka the Jurchens
agree with you haha
Bravo dang you are right on point
这场战争和万历朝的几场战争耗尽了帝国的实力，让帝国的中央政府濒于崩溃
It's like watching the modern Korean War, but in reverse. Large push to the north, then bottled into the Southeast.
Great thinking lol
Chinese won't lose control of Korea because it's too close to Beijing, once Korea got occupied by Japan or USA then Beijing will be in danger.
@@lvjinbin28 Well they lost half 🤔
@@nivlacsenoj6264 China only had half to start with.

I initially thought this was going to be be the early 1900’s version but it’s still interesting none the less.
It's hilarious how similar this is to the korean war, China intervenes and pushes back forces from the south, there is even the resistance at Busan

First Sino-Japanese War: Bruh
Fascinating video! The Japanese Invasions of Korea are also interesting because they are one of three major agarian state versus agarian state conflicts (Joseon Korea + Ming China versus Toyotomi's Japan) in pre-modern East Asian history, the others being the Goguryeo-Tang Wars (the Korean Kingdom of Silla + Tang Chinese Empire versus Yamato Japan + the Korean Empire of Goguryeo + Korean Kingdom of Baekje + The Mohe/Jurchen Tribes) that were literally 900 years before this (640s-660s AD) and the other was the Manchu Conquest of the Ming (surprisingly the Manchus were sedentary-ish). All other major wars in East Asian History were either 1v1 between agarian states or between agarian versus nomadic (think Mongol Invasions). After this war and the Qing Conquest of the Ming, until the 1890s agarian states would rarely fight each other.
Insane to think that large-scale agarian state conflicts in East Asia only happened three times in nearly two thousand years, whereas in Europe three times in half a century would be considered "peaceful" lmao
Why were wars between agrarian states so rare?
It’s also an instance of an isolated naval state attacking another isolated naval state, though I’m sure that’s happened some times before
What about the wars between all the Chinese states in the periods when there wasn't a unified China? Or weren't those major states?
To be fair, Chinese peasant revolts alone have like 8 trillion casualties each time. No surprise, the major states were too tired to fight each other.
It’s “agrarian”, just so you know. Two Rs.
"...and then I'm going to invade Korea and hopefully China, he said, and failed, and also died..."

One correction I would like to add:
The city of Cheongju either
1. should be replaced with Jeonju(전주시) or
2. Just way off the mark. It’s some 50 or more miles to the northeast.
I’m thinking that you made the former mistake (just because Jeonju was the more influential city back at the time) but whatever the matter, I’m afraid your video has the slightest of a flaw. Thank you for your effort and making this great video!

좋은 영상 감사합니다
Korean dramas make Ming army and general the bad guy in movie but Korean historical texts generally praise Ming saving them.
Because at that time, authority of the King seonjo was down to the ground, and other leaders of righteous army and especially Yi sunshin's popularity overwhelmed the coward king, in consequence, the king ordered to undervalue the contribution of Korean provincial forces and exaggerated Ming army which he called with his 'diplomatic capability'. The actual warfare was written by unathorized historians not the 朝鮮王朝實錄.
@@Amnok without Ming Joseon alone can’t fight Japan. Simple fact. Korea begged China intervene to save them. Ming win the war. If you are history major you know the history text is based on reliable sources, not unauthorized made up
@@qyyllamas8889 No, what is important is to be crosschecked. Authority itself from the state own script representing loyal legitimacy is meaningless. For instance, Chinese and Eygptian offical records overstated its victory, barely described the losses regardless of dynasty.
@@Amnok I am mainly talking about Ming’s contribution to the war. Ming done the most of the land fighting. I admit Admiral Yi is great general and he was friend with Ming general 陈璘. But Korea now making Ming the bad guy is very uncool!
@@qyyllamas8889 Also your usage of the word 'begging' is very inappropriate. Joseon at that time was a tributary of Ming, so Ming is obligated to offer aid to its tributary state. Furthermore, Ming always threatened and interfered on Joseon expansion of southern Manchuria, eventually weakening the militaristic capability of Koreans.
Most importantly, the justification of hideyoshi's invasion on neighboring state was '征明假道', let's invade Ming together else Joseon will be the first target. Joseon refused that offer, war was declared as a result.

@@personperson143 Nelson is extremely overrated
@@personperson143 Nelson himself disagreed with this.
Wow, impressive! I was expecting it to be about the early 1900s, but I guess that was more a wholesale gradual annexation, not anything with moving lines.
You're right. the annexation was more of a political overthrowing of Korean juristrictions in the territory, not involving any military conflict between the states (although you can consider resistance forces)
Yi Sun Sin disliked those invasions :)

They will nuke Japan 3 times.

they will
Including massacre of 200,000 unarmed civilians, it really was full of bloods. Also kidnapping lots of people to Japan by Hideyoshi. Tokugawa tried to make peace with Korea(Joseon) and it went well for about 300 years. And..... Well. We all know what happened after Japan colonized Korea.
fun fact, toyo planned to conquer india after he had successfully conquered china using china’s resource and manpower of course.😅
That guy already lost his mind.

great work as always!
Son: Mom, may i have a Korea war
Mom: Nope, we have already a Korea war at home
Korea war at home:
"And now I'm going to invade Korea. And then, hopefully, China." Said Hideyoshi before failing. And also dying.
I am Chinese, and I believe it is discuss to compete for which country has contributed the most to this war. In 1592, Japan invaded Korea, and the Ming Dynasty helped Korea defeat the Japanese. In 1937, Japan invaded China, and the United States and Russia helped China drive Japan away. In the face of the aggressors, countries should help each other
Most of the fighting in this war actually happened on land rather than sea. But people only know about the naval part of this war from some meme history channel because of the humiliatingly embarrassing way Japan lost at sea.
People = Koreans only
I think the same can also be said for the Russo-Japanese War
@@pocketmarcy6990 The Russo-Japanese War was the first conflict between major powers in which foreign observers (particularly Colonel Havard) noted that technological advancements had made attack very costly in terms of manpower, thus permanently changing casualty trends, and with them, tactics. Not that this information was acted upon (cough WWI cough).
Insert Thor Ragnorok meme here

This is just great, I love seeing a video from EmperorTigerstar on my recommend
The Jurchen offered to support Joseon against Japan. They refused, viewing barbarian assistance as an embarrassment. Twenty years later, when the Jurchens invaded Joseon, Japan offered support to Joseon. Again Joseon refused (and then lost the war)
Jurchens wouldn't have grown stronger in the first place if Japan hadn't invaded Korea. Ming and Joseon were unable to keep the Jurchens in check because the imjin war diverted their attention.

Bro really thought he could just try again 💀
Hello, can I ask what software is used to make this kind of video?
Joseon didn't just refused Jurchens because of 'Embarrassment'. It's because Joseon was 'VERY' sensitive against them. Even before the Imjin war, Joseon crushed down Jurchens. Joseon was not stupid enough to help its main enemy.
In the end, Korea lost to the Jurchen tribe.
The King of Korea knelt down and apologized, crying.
It accepted all conditions from the Qing state and became a vassal state of the Qing state. The Korean army would have been easily defeated by the Jurchen tribe without reinforcements from the Ming Dynasty.
In this battle as well, Korea would have been conquered had it not been for reinforcements from Ming.
@@地獄龍-m7q
The Ming were in no shape to send reinforcements to Korea when the Qing were invading Korea, because the Ming were themselves being conquered by the Qing (and ended up being wiped out entirely, not just made a tributary state-Korea at least got to maintain sovereignty).
@@bkjeong4302
i know what you said
The castles of Seoul and Pyongyang were occupied by the Japanese army.
Reinforcements from Ming forced the Japanese army to withdraw from Seoul and Pyongyang.
It was impossible for the Korean army to recapture the castles of Seoul and Pyongyang.
In other words, without reinforcements from Ming, the Korean peninsula would have been conquered by the Japanese army.
@@地獄龍-m7q
It would have been much harder and taken a lot longer, sure, but the Japanese only really managed to maintain (as opposed to just gain) control over the larger settlements and fortifications they conquered in Korea. The issue was that the Japanese assumed Korean and Chinese civilians would act like the typical Sengoku Jidai peasant and just accept new management over the whole area once a centre of power (a castle, a city, etc) in the area was captured, when the reality was that would never happen (because Joseon Korea and Ming China were unified nations with long-established central governments, instead of being split into numerous smaller polities that frequently gained or lost land). Because of this the Japanese had no real way of preparing for revolts and uprisings in Korean provinces they’d taken over. That meant the only way they could get any food or supplies from the territories they’d conquered was by brute force, when their plan required the Koreans (and later the Chinese) to just accept defeat and provide for their new Japanese overlords
Combined with the sea route being cut off, the Japanese would have had to withdraw for lack of food and supplies eventually.
@@bkjeong4302
First, I was surprised that the Koreans were not grateful for the reinforcements from the Ming.
I was also surprised that they thought that the Korean army alone was able to evacuate the Japanese army.
Without reinforcements from Ming, the Japanese army that occupied Seoul and Pyongyang would have captured the Korean king and forced him to surrender. By the way, the Korean prince was captured.
Koreans tend to interpret history in a way that suits them. They would have been forced to surrender before a naval blockade could be implemented. Moreover, Yi Sun-shin's naval blockade was insufficient.
Many craftsmen crossed the sea to build Japanese-style castles. Japanese-style castle ruins still exist around Busan today.
These castle ruins prove that the naval blockade was insufficient.

Seeing the retreat of the Japanese to the southeast in the first war, I couldn't help but think about another war in Korea a few hundred years later. Too bad the Japanese didn't try a landing on the west coast. 😉

Navy got wrecked by a certain man and couldn't supply the troops lol
The Japanese did want to land on the west coast, but there was this issue called Admiral Yi in the way.
The Japanese actually literally threatened King Seonjo to surrender by writing to him explaining that they were about to land another few dozen thousand men around Pyeongyang (which is next to a large river) via their navy for the final push into China. That was just before said Japanese navy was wrecked at the Battle of Hansan Island.
West coast have lot rocky island and too far from Japanese main land.
Busan is less rocky and not far from Japan.
Maybe do a video on where you get these obscure yet interesting data from?
Interesting how this superficially resembles the Korean War (1950-1953) with a Pusan Perimeter and what looks like a a landing at Inchon. Is that a coincidence or did the American high command study this war during the Korean War?
A coincidence
The appearance of any powerful army on the peninsula around China is not allowed. China will go to war no matter how powerful the enemy is.

Confusing about Korea tho:
- Korea did know Japan was preparing for invasion but didn't Recruit an army & didn't purchase cannons & didn't Built new ships.
- When the Japanese invaded, Korea lost every single open Battle & All 3 Korean Army got wiped out as a result.
- 95% of Korean Garrison commanders who managed to win skirmishes were punished severely by the Korean gov(Including Admiral Yi)
- When Admiral Yi got replaced, Korea lost every single ship in a single battle - Leaving just dozen ship to Yi when he returned.
- Nowadays, Koreans claim Korea beat the Hideyoshi's second invasion on their own, but Ming did 90% of the Actual Fighting.
(Korea lost its entire army - they barely managed to raise a single small army to help the Chinese offensive)
Sorry Korea, Even though you are my home country - You get an "F" on this one.
There is a misconception that the Imjin War was won by Ming forces alone on land, but this is not the case. Summary of battle statistics throughout the Imjin War/Jeong Yujae Invasion.
During the 1592 Japanese Invasion of Korea, there were about 105 large and small battles.
Of these, the Chosun Army was much more aggressive, with 68 "offensive" and 37 "defenses". The Joseon Army showed off its superiority with a record of 65 wins and 40 losses.
According to these statistics, it seems that the Joseon army took the lead in the battle.
At the beginning of the war, they easily conquered Pyongyang. But. The supply was cut off and the offensive stopped.
Since then, there have been many unilateral attacks by the Korean army.
The Ming army fought in only 8 out of 105 battles in 7 years. Of course, the direct large-scale battle was led by the Ming Dynasty, but even that was almost in the form of an allied force with the Joseon army.
The last "2nd Battle of Pyongyang Castle" was the only battle in which the Ming dynasty fought and won properly. Even after that victory, he was passive because of the defeat in the Battle of Byeokjegwan. The reason why the Japanese army changed from 'offensive' to 'defense'.
This is because the Joseon naval forces, government forces, and voluntary soldiers all joined forces to block supply routes throughout Joseon. This was the result of attrition and guerrilla warfare continued by the Joseon army alone.
This is because of the topographical characteristics of the entire Joseon dynasty at that time consisting of 'river/stream/mountain'. When shipping is blocked, parts that cannot be supplied are a big factor.
This is because it was difficult to procure goods locally from private houses in various parts of Joseon. And the biggest thing is that there was so much suffocation/starvation that they eventually gave up going north and built a fortress on the south coast and turned to defense. (Only within the Japanese Naval Control Area)
Did the Ming army defeat the Japanese in 8 battles?
And the total mobilization force of Korea, China and Japan at that time was 160,000 in Japan (Imjin year), 140,000 in Jeongyu year / 180,000 Joseon Dynasty / 220,000 Ming Dynasty.
In any case, it was almost impossible for Japan, which was a feudal state at the time, to control centralized Joseon with local administration.
@@simbaski Just to make you feel better, Ming soldier did that to Ming civilians too.
I made a lot of videos related to Yi Sun-sin in Korean dramas/movies, so people overseas know about Yi Sun-sin well.
At that time, there were many excellent commanders in the army rather than the navy, such as Jeonggi-ryong/黃進/權慄/郭再祐/宣居怡/韓明璉, etc. in the Joseon Army.
Starting with the active role in Jeonggi-ryong, the cavalry of the Joseon Army were armed with flails as a basic supply,
Ever since I gained confidence in my weapon
Japanese troops were unilaterally massacred on land.
In large-scale battles, Joseon was unilaterally defeated by Japan in tactics because the general peasant soldiers (conscripts) were weak at the time.
Generally, in small-scale guerrilla warfare led by Korean regular troops, they overpowered the Japanese.
In Joseon's uninhabited (professional soldiers), the individual strength of the martial arts overwhelms the samurai.
During the Imjin War/Jeong Yujae Invasion, Japanese "daimyo" were hiding behind enemy lines, and when looking at the records at the time, all Joseon generals fought at the vanguard in battle (Jeong Ki-ryong/宣居怡/韓明璉/黃進/申砬)
It can be seen that the martial arts were relatively superior to the bubble novel Three Kingdoms in China (Guan Yu, 張飛, Zhao Zilong).
At that time, the famous Chinese general "Lee Yeosong" was passive throughout the war after losing the Battle of Byeokjegwan.
@Golfdoggie It is certain that Ming Dynasty 萬曆帝 was grateful to Joseon. In fact, more than the military aspect. Food aid is highly appreciated.
萬曆帝> Emperor of Joseon
It is a pity that 萬曆帝 was not well-received by the descendants of the Ming Dynasty.

@@균형-s8t Your opinion is a strange phenomenon that can be seen only in Koreans after 2011.
I think Yoshihiro Shimazu of the Shimazu army, who was called a demon, is the MVP of this war. He is smashing the Ming army with 7000vs200000.
I think Yi Sun-shin's navy also worked harder than the Korean army.
However, this battle was between the Ming army and the Japanese army, and it was the Shimazu army that caused enormous damage to the Ming army and was feared.

Japan after sending ANOTHER invasion force to conquer Korea.
Admiral Yi- How many times do we have to teach you this lesson old man?
Japan be like: So you know how all powerful Ming is? Lets attack their vassal and influence in Korea!
*Fighting ensues*
Japan a few years later: So you know how we were pretty much humiliated a few years ago? LETS DO THAT AGAIN!
Ming be like: Calvary+artillery spam
leader after failing the second time: i am going to commit die

Japanese doing similar mistake in ww2 try to conquer china who pretty much costly for them and try to pissed off US to give them to conquer southeast Asia.
Only smart they do is to not waged another war with Soviet but ended up cost them anyway
are you interested in doing one on the Jurchen vs Song dynasty war?
Hideyoshi: "Imma just invade Korea and hope they do nothing."
*Wait what do you mean they're fighting back*
and winning
Funny how the Ming ran Japan's fade, but the Qing & PRC/ROC couldn't.
If there was no Qing dynasty then ROC and PRC wouldn't be in their dire straits. the outsider nomads ruin everything.
@@Huben57 True, but atleast China can't be toyed with today by other nations. Took an entire century of humiliation to get there though.
@@thekrimsonchin6023 century of humilation ended when PRC fought the USA and the foreigners in korea and showed them what china's true colors are. USA is many times more powerful than japan. And PRC still fought them and stalemated them in Korea
Didn't they invade Korea just because they wanted to fight so much after the end of the civil war, and they didn't really know what else to do ?
That's very very debatable.
Or the victor of the civil war wanted to deal with all those armed men ready to fight again without trying to disarm them.
Japanese reason is pretty complicated.
오오 잘만들었다
Excellent!!
Toyotomi Hideyoshi's vain ambition caused many people to die
You know every time a leader thinks a country will just step aside and let them take over it usually doesn’t go well thank god there’s no leader stupid enough to invade a country
Fun fact : the Japanese invasion of Korea of 1592, is called in Korea the "imjin ear" because it happened on the year of "imjin nyeon"n while in Japan it's called the "Pottery war" because from this war they brought back thousands of pottery artisans from Korea to Japan, who have largely contributed to the Japanese pottery. Otherwise in Japan it's also called the "Seven years war" because it lasted 7 years. (1592-1599)
I'm Japanese, but I've never heard of either...
@@大きな声-d4m 日本で「期間」が戦争の名前に入ったのは、満州事変から日中戦争終結までを表す十五年戦争くらい。後は日本と関係のない百年戦争とかじゃないかな。陶器職人が日本に連れて来られていることは有名ですが、戦争の名前になった話は聞いたこともない。
日本では講和・休戦期間を挟んで、前半を文禄の役(講和成立時の元号)、後半を慶長の役(戦闘再開時の元号)と言うふうに元号から取るのが一般的です。

In Japan it's widely called Chōsen shuppei
日本で陶器戦争とは呼ぶ人を見たことがない。日本では文禄慶長の役と呼ばれている
first time I’ve heard about this.
It's actually was the biggest naval invasion in the history before Invasion in Normandy in WW2. Around 300 thousand giant army landed on the shores of Korea. And Japan still lost. With army this big, Japan wanted to take over not only Korea and China, but also Phillipines and India. Insane plans of world domination.
Japan: I have an army.
Joseon: We have a Yi-sun Shin.
Without aid from Ming China, Yi Sun Shin alone can't save Joseon Dynasty.
it's not japan but toyotomi's army.
east japan daimyo didn't
Gwon Yul was also just as important as Yi Sun Shin if not more.

The Ming Dynasty exhausted its last strength after this war, and Japan finally broke out the Sekigahara War after the failure of Toyotomi Hideyoshi’s foreign aggression. In the end, both the Ming and Toyotomi regimes came to an end, and although Korea continued. But Conquered by the rising Manchu Qing and completely reduced to its vassal state, no one was the final winner in this war.
im korean agree
The war that made the 3 belligerents losers hahaha

Wouldve been better if major naval battles were shown as well.
Since it's a point-to-point battle to take down castles and bases, it feels strange to paint it solidly.

The interesting thing is modern day Korea is trying to revise history by portraying Ming as an enemy instead of an ally
They're also trying to attribute Korea's victory solely to "Korean heroes", when it's obvious to everyone that without Ming's participation, Japan would have succeeded in taking over Korea
It's fascinating
Korean history textbook : Describing Ming army contribution briefly and numerically, since the subject of the book is Korean history.
Chinese history textbook : Literally revising the primary source of the history with outright intention through state owned historians.
It's fascinating.
@@Amnok I know right? Even I know the contributions of the Ming and the CCP is just trying to create anti Korean sentiment. It is ridiculous.
Nah, Koreans actually appreciate Ming's participation with a sense of acknowledgement but also criticizes its laid back behavior of trying to conduct negotiations with the Japanese. The reason why Ming lost its favor amongst Koreans was because Mo Munryong (모문룡). The Ming General stationed in Korea that inflicted a devastating effect on Koreans and Korea to the Northwestern regions when the Jurchens were on their rise.
@@Amnok like wtf.... Have you ever picked up a Chinese history textbook? Honestly this war was never even talked about in the Chinese history textbook. Most Chinese don't know nor care about it anyway.
You forgot the conquest of Korea that happened in the 1900s
What did Japan see in Korea? Not only here, but also when they expanded their empire in the 20th century.
Good work!
idk, something very close to their homeland they could use to better attack everyone else with?
A place in mainland asia that they can use to launch a war with China
Just imagine Qing China began collapsing and Russia trying to take over Korea.(also that's the point why british helped japan)
Obviously there's no choice but to invade korea to defend Japanese mainland.
It would serve as a forward operating base for invading China. I also heard it was a good way to distract a bunch of powerful samurai from plotting against Hideyoshi.

The Battle of Noryang was a pursuit battle for Korea and Ming, but for Toyotomi's forces, it was part of the rescue operation of Yukinaga Konishi. Just prior to this battle, he was forced to retreat to Suncheonseong Castle. Knowing this, the Toyotomi forces in Geoje Island advanced their fleet toward Suncheon, and the allied forces attempted to intercept them in this naval battle. The Toyotomi forces suffered heavy losses, especially the Shimazu forces, but there were no casualties among the commanding officers (Daimyos), which was in contrast to the allied forces that lost many commanding officers led by Yi Sun-sin, even though they were the pursuers. As a result, the Allied forces could no longer maintain the blockade of the sea, and Konishi successfully retreated to Geoje Island. In any case, this battle broke out under the circumstances where Toyotomi's forces had decided to withdraw and a peace agreement was being concluded between the upper echelons of both countries, so the impact of the battle on the larger picture was minimal. The main concern in Japan at this time was who would be the next ruler of Japan (Tenka-Bito), and this confusion would lead to the Battle of Sekigahara two years later.

In Korea, there is an absurd historical view that world history has despised Korea, whether it is East Asian history or Western history, or even the ancient Korean history itself, modern Korea believes that history needs to serve the will of the people, that is, Korean history needs to let the people Proud, but this contradicts the ancient history recorded by China, Japan and itself, leading to historical jokes and cultural appropriation that has been staged in Korea, such as stealing Chinese murals and Japanese Buddha statues to deduce Korea's ancient history and culture, For example, Korean dramas have replaced archaeological and historical records as historical evidence
正确的😂
So nice and thank to this work from korea but i want to make something to correct,
here's one: "Cheongju(청주)" should fix to "Jeonju(전주)".
0:15 As you see, Joseon was failed with main troop, controlled by General Shin rib, and lost almost of cavalry, their basis of army.
This battle happend at "Chungju(충주)", similar pronounced with Cheongju(청주). These two are main cities in Chungcheong Province, east-southern from Seoul, center part of S.korea nowadays.
King of Joseon decided to run for north at this time.
By the way, "Jeonju(전주)"-which is written "Cheongju" in video, quite meaning city to Joseon's army because they got first win in big battle called battle of ichi(이치전투) at this place!
This West-southern area is very strategic, called Jeolla Province. It has field enough for agriculture and naval base of Yi soon shin's fleet was this area.
PS. Land of Korea is 70% mountains especailly east and north side. Even Seoul is in the ring of mountains. Almoast fields are southern west.
PS. in name of cities, "-ju(주)" same meaning "-si(시)" means city/town. "ju" is used by ancient one, "si" is modern one.
韓国って名将なことに違いは無いけど李舜臣を過大評価し過ぎな気がするけど…
確かに最初は補給船相手に大戦果を挙げてたけど対策として補給船に大鉄砲、大筒が備えられて以降成果を殆ど挙げられずに結局釜山は安全な補給拠点として終戦まで機能し続ける訳だし。
慶長の役では鳴梁海峡で一定の戦果を挙げてるけど退却、秀吉の病死で日本軍に撤退命令が下された後の露梁海戦では島津水軍相手に明軍は副将、朝鮮軍は将軍李舜臣、その他大勢の将官が戦死。日本軍は有名武将みんな無事でその後の戦国時代最大の合戦である関ヶ原の戦いへと参加していくわけで…李舜臣以外にまともな将兵が居なかったのもあるけど国を守ったまでは言い過ぎだと思う。
1592年，已经是大明的晚期了，最后时刻明朝军队并没有发动全面攻击，而选择了海上阻击，如果在明朝或清朝强盛时期日本敢进攻中国，估计大明或者大清的水师会一路打到日本本土
