He fought 300+ ships without the Turtle ship. Turtle ship was destroyed prior to that battle by inept Generals who took over Yi's command while he was imprisoned for disobeying idiot King's order that'd have jeopardized his fleet.
The truth is that he was merely a commander, not an admiral; only temporality cut off logistics; killed no samurai commander; gave a mastery of the sea to the Japanese; allowed them to land and capture the prince; attacked the Japanese from the back after ceasefire; was killed by the Japanese in the battle.
@@Xentradi97 So says your stupid manga? You can talk about any fantasy if you do not have to back up. He was NEVER an admiral. He was merely a commander of a fleet, not even a commodore of the Korean Navy if you had it at all, let alone an admiral of the Ming-Korea Navy. Most Koreans cannot even swim well even today, and you never had a blue water navy. You are a land people.
tangbein it could totally work though, in ghost of Tsushima you're a samurai, but in assasins creed you could be a ninja (or in the games case, one of the shinobi) since historically the ninjas did exactly that, assasinations and other stealth operations
I've been training in taekwondo for 35 years, and I figured I should be familiar with the country from which my art arose. This was a terrific primer. Thanks.
BTW I'm a Korean, and seeing that you are interested in Taekwondo and Korean history, I thought you might be interested in this fact: Contrary to what most Koreans think, Taekwondo is actually a modern Korean reinterpretation of Karate, which came from the Okinawa region of Japan. (Which still does not mean the two are the same, though! Taekwondo is still our national sport.) Traditional Korean martial arts are things like Gungdo (Korean archery), Ssireum (Korean wrestling), and Taekkyeon (rhythmic wrestling? idk how to describe this one).
Techniques from traditional Korean martial arts, such as tae kwon do and subak, are incorporated into taekwondo. Although early taekwondo was influenced by karate, modern taekwondo is connected to ancient Korean martial arts through the rediscovery of ancient traditional martial arts. Modern taekwondo is a very different martial art from karate, with a traditional Korean flavor, and according to Professor Kimmo Rauhala's thesis, 70% of the techniques are kicks, and these kicks are unique to the art. If you watch this video from the 1962 Korean Taekwondo Championships, you'll see that the fighting style is very different from karate.
Hangul is one of the most intuitive, interesting and easy to learn language. "A smart man should be able to learn in a single day, a dumb man in 10 days." Lol (supposedly the Korean leader said this) 안녕하세요!
Well it's true... Korean is easy to learn... If u try then u can learn it definitely!!! I also start learning Korean! And trust me it's not that hard😊 안녕하세요 여러분!!!
The consonants are mostly pictures of what your tongue looks like when you create the sound. The vowels are harder to remember, and there are a few subtle sounds that are confusing, but it is the most thoughtful alphabet I have ever seen.
The 500-year history of Korea, the Joseon Dynasty, was a society ruled by scholars and kings. The kings had to be smarter than the other scholars. They slept only five hours a day and spent most of the day discussing policies and studying academics. So, Hangeul is at a level that the king can make properly.
@Zero64 It’s not really that odd. Portugal for example always fought outnumbered and won. Some examples: Battle of Aljubarrota: 6.600 Portuguese knights vs 31.000 Spaniards; Battle of Tiger’s mouth in China: 3-6 ships vs 300-700 ships; Battle of Cochin 500 + 5 ships vs 70.000-80.000 + 260 vessels.
Note to say that the Portuguese Armada was once the strongest in the world. A single ship was a floating fortress with the strength of 100 ottoman/indian/chinese ships. The strongest galleon in the 16th century was a Portuguese ship named “Botafogo” (Spitfire) that had roughly 400 canons onboard.
for those wondering how the korean admiral with 13 ships beat over 300 of the japanese it's because of a strong current that he knew about and he positioned his ships behind it, and when the japanese approached all there ships got destroyed in the current. it was very smartly done
flatest of all asians owe everything to the USA, corea is the number one culture theives in the world and most unappreciative so they adopt more unwanted babies out to the USA than anywhere in the world who grow up because of their dna to be terrible monkeys who should have never been born. get a reality check you know nothing of asia or the culture stealers. look up youtube 'culture copycats of the world'
@angelamanely9254 Thats badass honestly. It's like he knew the waves intimately. Almost like being a blacksmith general and knowing how to construct useful armor for your men.
The printing technology was imported from China. In China woodblock printing was invented around 650 AD and movable type around 1040 AD. The Koreans were the first to use cast iron movable type print.
As in ancient east Asia, what were the major printed books, why wouldn't hear or see one of these books or just a paper printed in Korea? We see thousands of books that Gutenberg machines have done.
@@stevenzheng5459 The Koreans were the first to use a printing method that was far more efficient than what China uses and what the Germans used 200 years later. Stop taking credit for the achievements of other countries.
I'm History teacher in Korea. and I tell you guys this video is basically inaccurate in so many ways. 1. This video assume that current geographics of power are the same as ancient ones. But they're NOT. does America was always super power in the world from the beginning? No. same as Japan. 2. Go-jo-seon dynasty was started at northern part of China. Not Pyeong-yang. but surely they move to Pyeong-yang. 3. Kingdom of Go-gu-ryeo was not started in Pyeong-yang either. they started at Jilin province of nowdays China. 4. Kingdom of Yamato was basically small country which does not include whole of japan. so trade with japan has NOT that dramatic impact on Koreans. however trade with Korea and China benefits alot to Japan. so they switch their main material from STONE to IRON. 5. Wang-gun who founded Kingdom of Goryeo was not focused on Japan or China. in that time, China was devided as well as Japan too. just stop this nonsense already. I stop watching this video at this point. there is so many errors in here. I can literally write a paper about this. Korea has crucial role in Asian history. Korea had the leverage of balance of power between Chinese and Nomadic people such as Mongolians and Manchurians. roughly until 15 century, Japan was not that big deal. Many people understands korean history by this falsy video and I'm deeply sorry.
Korean Peninsula was a dependency of China for almost one thousand years. It was Japan that made it independent. Go-gu-ryeo was not Korean. They are different people. The ruling people were Jurchen. Japanese iron production method Tatara has nothing to do with Korea.
@G-G E ????? It is YOU who cannot read your own true history as they are all written In Chinese. It is YOU who cannot even check who is telling the truth. Your history is so sad that your government decided to teach you fantasies instead.
Before USA, Canada, Mexico and many countries in central and South America largest of which is Brazil there were many tribes that ruled before that Mayan, Aztec, Incas, Cherokees, Apaches, Navajo and many more.
Let me add a bit more detail. "Admiral" Yi Sun-Shin was originally an army "General". In the Chosun Dynasty, there was no distinction between the army (Yook-Goon) and the navy (Soo-Goon), but they were mingled together. In his early career, Yi Sun-shin had fought well as an army general in the northern territory and after he was assigned to be a Soo-Goon commander in Chola-Province, he started to build his fleet including the turtle ships and invented his naval tactics that were used successfully against the Japanese invading force. This integrity enabled him to win an impossible battle of 13 vs 300 ships later.
For everyone interested there is a movie called "The Admiral: Roaring Currents" about the battle of myeongnyang. Its grandious. Yi Sun-Sin was a great admiral.
This. High budget, really gives colour and character to the era. Several echoes around the internal political conflict, internal betrayal, and internal determinism and technological strength of Korea. www.imdb.com/title/tt3541262/
Yi Sun-sin: Even though Korean wants to include Yi Sun-sin (李舜臣) as one of the three Greatest Admirals of the world, Horatio Nelson of the Britain who prevailed in the Battle of Trafalgar, John Paul Jones of the America who defeated the British for its independence, and Heihachiro Togo of Japan who defeated the Russia’s Baltic Fleet, he was not even a supreme commander, nor did he prevail in the battle that Koreans claim to have won. To start with, throughout their history, Korea was the weakest in the region. Since the time of Yuan Dynasty, Korea had been a tribunary state of China for almost one thousand years. They always asked other countries to fight for Korea’s domestic issues like in the Korean War, and this is why they have no true national hero. Yi Sun-sin was merely a commander of a fleet out of many Joseon fleets, certainly not the admiral or the commander of the Ming-Joseon Navy. Not only he failed to defeat the Japanese navy, he could not prevent them on the sea, allowing them to land on the Korean Peninsula. Japan at the time was the hay days of samurai and had the largest number of guns in the world with many experienced samurai in communications and modern battle tactics of the day. Korea on the other hand was merely a tribunary state of Ming with NO guns. There is no way Korean could beat Japan by itself. In fact, in the first dispatch, Japan conquered Seoul within one month, and Pyeongyang within two months capturing the princes of Joseon as a hostage while there was NO Japanese commander killed except for one who was assassinated during hawking. The only military exploit that Yi Sun-sin had against Japan was when he attacked “a supply fleet” and temporally cut off its supply route. But this is by no means being destroyed or defeated. His strategies were more like those of pirates or guerrillas, setting fire on ships at night or attacking from the back of Japanese fleets after agreeing on cease-fire. Coward and so typical of the weak. Later, since the military leader of Japan, Hideyoshi, who planned to conquer China through Korea, died of old age in Osaka, Japan agreed on cease-fire and retreated. It is a blatant lie for Koreans to say that Yi Sun-sin was a great admiral of the world, defeated the Japanese navy, and is the one from whom the world’s other admirals learn from. However, you could say that he had some brain, avoiding front-to-front battle with the mighty Japan.
Korean History: When you talk about Korean history, the first thing you have to know is that almost no present day Korean can read their true official history since they cannot read Chinese characters in which their entire history was written. The second thing is that Koreans did not leave much of written history and their first written official history book, Samguk Sagi, was only written in the 12th century. But even then, they do not refer to it much because there are so many shameful things written such as the kings of Silla were Japanese from Japan. The third thing is that their history was “created” AFTER the WWII by South Korea when its independence was given by the US. There was urgent need to create its “history” to give the Government the legitimacy and to promote national pride to fight in the Korean War. Thus it had to be patriotic. So what they do is to cherry pick some points from ancient Chinese and Japanese documents and filled the gaps with fantasies. No Koreans read their original. Nobody can even CHECK who is telling the truth. And they can only regurgitate the fabrications that their Government blatantly cocks up in order to hide the shameful part of their history including Jumong, Gojoseon and Goguryeo were not Korean but only conquered a part of Korea; the kings of Silla were Japanese from Japan; since the time of Yuan Dynasty, the Korean Peninsula was dependency of China for almost one thousand years; Korea was so poor and hopeless that their ancestors asked Japan to annex and modernize; the independence of South Korea was not fought for, but it was given by the US. The truth is that the countries that existed in the Korean Peninsula were always weak since its soil is poor; weather is not favorable for crops; and there is not much resources. You can read books written by westerners who visited the Peninsula before the Japanese annexation. There are at least a half dozen of them with the most famous one being "Korea and Her Neighbors" by an English traveler, Isabella Bird. She says that Seoul was the dirtiest and smelliest place on Earth, and even in the main streets there were not cultural things like restaurants, tea houses, theaters, or even shops. So just about everything you read and see about Korea’s history, that were “created" after the War and written not in Chinese but in Hangul (thus in English) such as Korean dramas, Wikipedia, recent history books, are all fabrications. South Korea even has a government body, the National Branding Council, to promote these fabrications by stealing other country’s history and cultures to gain the “soft power” for their economical profits. Their academics, corporations and public are all in this game led by the Government. Several years ago, in response to China's and Korean's claims on Japan's history education, Stanford Uni. conducted research on the history education of five countries: China, Japan, Korea, Taiwan and USA. They concluded that the history taught in Japan was the fairest; in China, propaganda; in Korea, fantasy. Traditionally, being sandwiched by strong dynasties and countries such as Mongols, Chinese, Russians and Japanese, throughout its history, the weak and poor Koreans always had to lie, deceive and betray for their survival. Lies and fabrications have always been a part of their history, tradition and culture. This is what Koreans say about themselves: according to the main editorial by the Chief Editor of Choson Ilbo, the biggest newspaper in South Korea, on Mar 6, 2012, Feb. 2, 2010 and Feb. 13, 2003, "Koreans lie as if they breathe” and “Koreans are the world’s biggest liar of all." Korea has the highest fraud rate and is the only country whose fraud rate exceeds that of robbery in OECD. Also, all of perjury, calumny and fraud rates in South Korea are some 160-670 times higher than those of Japan.
That doesn't seem like such a bad comparison, but then again I don't know terribly all that much about Korea so maybe it's not. It's always iffy comparing the situations of different States. Lots of different moving parts.
dimsum9797 you were right, but Korean weaponries were more advanced in tech than Poland at the time Yi sun sin (sorry for mispellled his name) was alive
Except Poland was an idiot that kept provoking its immediate neighbors (Prussia & Russia) while foolishly indulging in their "Golden Liberty" which paralyzed the Sejm for over a century. Korea meanwhile used its stronger neighbor to its advantage. For example this video forgot to mention that Admiral Yi sailed with a large Chinese support fleet, and the Chinese Vice Admiral was killed during the decisive battle that took Yi's life.
@Duterte compare the map of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth and Poland today and see just how much they've lost (not to mention being completely absent for 123 years before 1918). Meanwhile the two Koreas put together still hold all the core Korean lands. South Korea in particular is considered a "tiger economy" of Asia, while Poland is 'meh' in the EU at best.
China has been teaching Gojoseon, Goguryeo, and Balhae in Chinese history since 1994!! In addition, they claim that traditional Korean clothes such as hanbok and gat, and traditional Korean foods such as kimchi, samgyetang, and samgyeopsal are also Chinese food! Pizza is originally from China, and Genghis Khan is also Chinese Vietnamese rice noodles!! I'm really embarrassed by the distortion of Chinese history 🤣🤣
It is though, idk how people think these cultures have so much in common. Did the koreans appear from thin air and just so happen to be just like their neighbours?
Roshan B At the end he lost and was killed in the battle you have to see various records to objectively judge. Just by reading Korean records would not get you anywhere. Here you go: According to the main editorial by the Chief Editor of Choson Ilbo, the biggest newspaper in South Korea, on Mar 6, 2012, Feb. 2, 2010 and Feb. 13, 2003, "Koreans lie as if they breathe” and “Koreans are the world’s biggest liar of all."

@@hayek218 Bro what do you have against Yi Sun Shin? Did he kill your family or what? Remember this everyone is going to die in end even you,me and Yi Sun Shin did die. Just leave me alone.
Both Japan and Korea massively relied on China though. Language, culture, arts, technology, philosophy, music, fashion, basically everything has roots from China.
I think the Mongolian invasion to Japen finally give Japen its geopolitical difference as nation. It was remotely far away even Japanese themselves couldn't awards invation from out of Japen
Basically the historical relationship between China, Japan and Korea is like the one between the UK, France and Germany, like a bunch of squabbling siblings.
Vital context of the Korean history and culture. So obvious with places like the Korean peninsula, Israel/Palestine, Poland... They're in geographical "pass throughs" that make them perpetual targets of invasion and subjugation. Fascinating, resilient societies that stem from those circumstances. Another hit, Shirvan!

Thank you so much for your documentary of Korea I have always had a fascination of the ancient Asian nations of China, Japan, Korea and Mongolia. Since our ancestors are from nomadic people from the Ural we had similar background.
Not impressed. Japan was not a threat until 1590 and recently 1910. So the explanation that korea was sandwiched between china and japan is inaccurate.

Indeed, ancient Japan was not a threat, but a mighty nation to admire for Korean kingdoms such as Shilla or Baekje in old times. For instance, the Book of Sui (隋書), one of the official Twenty-Four Histories of imperial China, says as follow: "Both Shilla and Baekje revered Wa as a superpower with plenty of rare and precious things. Therefore, they would often send their envoys to Wa respectively." (新羅百濟皆以倭為大國 多珍物並敬仰之 恒通使往來)
This video is actually pretty bad, falling short of Caspian Report's usually excellent standards. I am not even halfway through and I already note two major errors. 1. Wang Gun, the founder of the Goryeo dynasty, did NOT establish an understanding with the Japanese in order to reunite the Korean peninsula. Japan at the time was in chronic turmoil under the ineffectual rule of Heian emperors, and was in no position to intervene in foreign states. 2. Wang Gun did not get the name of "Goryeo" from nowhere. He and his northern noble supporters considered themselves part of the ancient Goguryeo, who had shortened their name to Goryeo sometime in the 5th century AD. From Wang Gun's perspective, he was merely establishing the rightful rule of Goguryeo/Goryeo over the Korean peninsula. This is really important because numerous Manchurian dynasties could have, and did try to, claim Goguryeo heritage, but in the end Koreans got it due to Goryeo. Kinda disappointed by the quality of this video, to be honest.
I seriously don't get why Koreans and Chinese have developed such resentment against each other. Korea's worst nightmares were not Chinese (that is, ethnic Hans) or Japan. They have been for several times but the real threats were the northern tribes which were nightmares for Hans as well. First, Xianbei almost destroyed both Buyeo and Goguryeo (especially the Muong Xianbei) and became significant threats to many Hans dynasty in the south, then Khitan devastated Balhae and Goryeo and Song Empire. After this, Jurchens came and they fought both Goryeo and Song consequently. The Mongols came after this (and you know what happened.) The reason Joseon sticked so much close to China is because they feared that the Jurchens still lurking in the Southern Manchuria region might get strong again and invade them. (Which they did) The only times in history where Korea and Hans came directly into conflict is Gojoseon-Yan War in the late 4th century BC, Gojoseo-Han War in the 109~108 BC, Goguryeo-Sui, Tang War (this can be controversial as well since Tang had an alliance with another Korean kingdom Silla) and Tang-Silla war (which both countries reconcilled with each other right after the war).
paul han yes you depicted the very Game-Of-Thrones-like history in east Asia, seven kingdoms, wildlings, white walkers. Woe is our Song dynasty, what a great period of commercialism and inventions, ruined by all sorts of wildlings and white walkers.
I had to quit halfway. wangkon did not break off from silla. yamato did not cause the "growth" of silla and baekjae. baekjaes capital on the map you have shown was not Seoul as of today

Japan in the ancient times wasn't a major power to be recognized with well it had deep relationships between Baekje and Gaya but superpower? Nope i don't think so untill they attacked at 1592 they weren't the force to be recognized But still the pirates was major problem
I don't think Japan was any significant in Asian history until much later therefore Korea being in the tug of war wouldn't be correct assessment while describing Korean history from the Gojoseon period. Japan pretty much skipped bronze age because of Gaya Confederate.
The world's first movable type printing press technology for printing paper books was made of porcelain materials and was invented around AD 1040 in China during the Northern Song Dynasty by the inventor Bi Sheng (990-1051). Subsequently in 1377, the world's oldest extant movable metal print book, Jikji(If you search the picture of this book you will find out it was written in Chinese), was printed in Korea during the Goryeo dynasty.
@@paulhan1615 DNA and skull analysis showed the Founder of Shang Dynasty who created the hanja script were immigrants who came from the Liaodong/liaohua area, which is the birthplace of korean civilization. The concept of korea and china did not exist 3000 bc. We both influenced each other. Hongshan Culture was in the Bohai region dates back to 4700 BC which is also the birthplace of Gojoseon which was founded 2333 BC. The most likely scenario is the Bohai region is birthplace of East Asian civilization and from there civilization branched to China and Korea.
123 123 ??????? Manchuria has nothing to do with Koreans. They are Jurchen and Xianbei. They conquered the northern part of Korean Peninsula and run Goguryeo but Koreans were like the Hans during the Qing dynasty. Claiming their history and cultures as yours is like Poland claiming Germany's history and cultures.
The Baekje, Silla, Gaya weren't rebel states of Goguryeo; they started from uniting cheifdoms that existed under influence of Joseon(Early Joseon). Silla wasn't in a position that had to balance out China and Japan; Japan was pretty much irrelevant to the outer world until 16th century as they were disunited and behind in military tech. Silla's main military concerns were Balhae(Korean kingdom that everyone forgets to mention) and Goryeo's main military concerns were northern nomadic peoples of manchus/turks/mongols, Japanese pirates(waku), and China. Japan grew far stronger than Korea in their warring states period in 15th century.
Movable type was invented in China by Bi Sheng in the 11th century. The Koreans innovated by making caste iron movable type (the Chinese used ceramic, wood, and later bronze).
Bi Sheng's original movable type is gone (way before the cultural revolution). However, the technology persisted and spread across East and Central Asia for the next 500 years. When the Jesuits visited China from 1600-1800 AD, they were impressed by the efficiency of China's printing presses. Printing presses in East Asia were less mechanized compared to Gutenburg's press. We don't press the type on the paper. Instead we press the paper on the type.
I'm not sure actually. I know printed books from the Tang and Song dynasty still exist. The Tang dynasty used woodblock printing (check out the Diamond Sutra). Song dynasty books were printed using movable type.
Japan has a high literacy rate for hundreds of years. It was higher than that of European countries. For a long time in Japan, the language culture was rich and the rational culture was mature. On the Korean Peninsula, slavery existed 100 years ago. Nearly 40% of the total population of Korea was a slave. Korea's literacy rate at that time was 6%. Japan abolished slavery in Korea. Korea, which was dominated by the dynasty of the day, monopolized the wealth of the poor Korean with a slight privilege class. The Korean citizens lived in a straw climbing roof, education, medical care and social systems were the poorest countries. The king of Korea was unable to suppress the rebellion of large farmers in Korea that occurred at the time. Then the king asked Japan and China to send troops to Korea. After suppressing that revolt, Ito (former Japanese prime minister) got angry that the king of Korea "why did you devastate Korea so far?"

goguryeo -->goryeo( The mean is to continue Goguryeo.) To foreigners, goryeo called Korea. Traditional Chinese countries usually use one letter to national name. su ,dang,jin,myung.

Because they are the center of the world and univers. right? avengers also chinese. yes everything is china. Sphinx is also china. Because they're making a fake. Because the whole world is theirs.

It‘s so funny！！ Korean want to create an ancestor to replace Jizi and Wiman .........................................

Thank you for this contribution to Korean history. Even though some of parts are still controversial such as Gojoseon (not Bc 700 but earlier than Bc4,000 placed in Manchuria influencing to china, you can study 'the Hongsan culture' heritage which was regarded of the origin of Gojoseon), I reckon broadly understanding. Once again thank you.

If Balhae is not a Korean dynasty, Sui, Tang, Jin, Qing and every other "Chinese" dynasty that is ruled by North Asian nomadic tribes are not Chinese dynasties. Seriously who tf call someone babarian the whole time and embrace him as a family all of a sudden because of the territories?
@@herosio270 I know right? CCP think Balhae is Chinese history because Balhae ruled the current "Chinese territory" which is Manchuria. That's just plain stupid.
The history of a country can be classified into territorial history and ethnic history. It is evident that the history of Balhae occurred on the territory of China, and of course, it is part of the history of China's territory. Also, don't forget that modern Manchus have already integrated into China, and the ancestral history of Manchus is also eligible for inclusion in Chinese history books. The region to which the name '中國' belongs is dynamic, initially only in the area of Henan Province.China itself is a melting pot of East Asian ethnic groups, which may not be well understood by Koreans.@@alessandrovialpando609
When you study East Asian history deeply enough, you would realize Japan was never a powerhouse until importation of muskets from Portuguese and unification by Oda Nobunaga, Daimyo of Owari. The population and economic power of Japan surpassed Korea in 13th century when the peninsula was completely devastated by 40 years of mongol invasion. Soon Koreans established their own regime and occupied liaodong peninsula(which was de jure of Korea at that time) having political struggle with Ming over suzerainity of Jurchen tribes, Muromachi bakufu began to collapse; eventually leading to 100 years of internal struggle(Senkoku jidai) so they weren't a problem as a nation(except wokou pirates raided the coastline resident of Ming and Joseon).
Most of the Manchria used to be Koreans' historical sphere. There are still many ethnic Koreans living there. It was only 1949 China firmly secured its administrative body over the region. KoJoseon and subsequently Kororuyo ruled almost all Northern part of China, defeating Chinese forces many times. Jurins having established Ching China was actually part of the Korean heritages, sharing the same bloodline and language by which they could communicate with each other without interpreters. Kojoseon's capital used to be located in the northern Manchria before it was relocated to Pyongyang. And the history is really complicated. So many theories compete against one another over the influence of China on the ancient Korea dynasties. This clip is a little bit oversimplified.

Admiral Yi Sun Shin wasn't well known when he was still alive even after winning the battle in the sea. His king were afraid that people will love Admiral more than him so he made sure Admiral Yi Sun Shin will be put on his place. But centuries later, his legacy was still remembered and even Japanese people know him very well. Foreigners know Admiral Yi Sun Shin more than Korean which is quite shocking. Truth hurts but now, Korean people acknowledge all his work and legacy. His patriotism will forever be remembered even the highest heavens are amazed by his mindset. Watch the movie about him guys. You will be amazed for sure.
Off topic but your accent and voice in general is really calming. Works out that I can get some history lessons in as I try to fall asleep. Win win situation
Yi Sun-sin: Even though Korean wants to include Yi Sun-sin (李舜臣) as one of the three Greatest Admirals of the world, Horatio Nelson of the Britain who prevailed in the Battle of Trafalgar, John Paul Jones of the America who defeated the British for its independence, and Heihachiro Togo of Japan who defeated the Russia’s Baltic Fleet, he was not even a supreme commander, nor did he prevail in the battle that Koreans claim to have won. To start with, throughout their history, Korea was the weakest in the region. Since the time of Yuan Dynasty, Korea had been a tribunary state of China for almost one thousand years. They always asked other countries to fight for Korea’s domestic issues like in the Korean War, and this is why they have no true national hero. Yi Sun-sin was merely a commander of a fleet out of many Joseon fleets, certainly not the admiral or the commander of the Ming-Joseon Navy. Not only he failed to defeat the Japanese navy, he could not prevent them on the sea, allowing them to land on the Korean Peninsula. Japan at the time was the hay days of samurai and had the largest number of guns in the world with many experienced samurai in communications and modern battle tactics of the day. Korea on the other hand was merely a tribunary state of Ming with NO guns. There is no way Korean could beat Japan by itself. In fact, in the first dispatch, Japan conquered Seoul within one month, and Pyeongyang within two months capturing the princes of Joseon as a hostage while there was NO Japanese commander killed except for one who was assassinated during hawking. The only military exploit that Yi Sun-sin had against Japan was when he attacked “a supply fleet” and temporally cut off its supply route. But this is by no means being destroyed or defeated. His strategies were more like those of pirates or guerrillas, setting fire on ships at night or attacking from the back of Japanese fleets after agreeing on cease-fire. Coward and so typical of the weak. Later, since the military leader of Japan, Hideyoshi, who planned to conquer China through Korea, died of old age in Osaka, Japan agreed on cease-fire and retreated. It is a blatant lie for Koreans to say that Yi Sun-sin was a great admiral of the world, defeated the Japanese navy, and is the one from whom the world’s other admirals learn from. However, you could say that he had some brain, avoiding front-to-front battle with the mighty Japan.
wow, Korea is at the center of so much of east asian history. It's easy to understand the history of Japan, China and the Xiongnu/Jerchen people through the lens of Korean history.
The name of Korea comes from Goguryeo (BC 37 or 3rd century - AD 668), the name of which had been later changed by its king into Goryeo, or/and Goguryeo was sometimes called Goryeo, even before Silla unified three kingdoms(Goguryeo, Baekje[BC 18 - AD 660], smaller Silla[BC 57-AD 676]). Some rulers of Goguryeo founded Balhae after the fall of Goguryeo, claiming it to be a successor of Goguryeo. Goguryeo or the "first" Goryeo originated from Buyeo, and Buyeo was founded at the place of Go-Joseon. "Old" Joseon or Go-Joseon was the first Korean kingdom and its name was just "Joseon" at its time, but for distinguishing from "later"/"Yi" Joseon, it is now called "Go(=old)-Joseon". Baekje came from the royal family of Goguryeo. When greater/unified Silla (AD 676 - 935) weakened later, "new" Goryeo replaced the unified Silla, claiming that the new royal court succeeded "old" Goryeo (i.e., Goguryeo). "New" Goryeo (AD 918-1392) was a trade country where even muslim merchants came for businesses from the Middle East and its name was known to foreign countries as "Core", "Corea", and current "Korea" etc. "Yi" Joseon (1392-1897)replaced "new" Goryeo, with the same name of the "old" Joseon kingdom. Sum: Go("old")-Joseon->Buyeo->three kingdoms->greater Silla (+ Balhae in the North, which also claimed to succeed the fallen Goguryeo, but when Balhae fell later, its rulers were accepted by "new" Goryeo)-> "new" Goryeo -> "Yi" Joseon or just Joseon -> 20th century history of colonialism(1910-1945), provisional government (1919-45), division into north/south Koreas(1945-), Korean republic-building (1948-), and war in 1950-3, and now.

“...leading to a quarter million dead... is the Most destructive conflict in East Asian up till WWII” apparently the author didn’t know about the taiping rebellion in China...
Far too many mistakes in this video though. The movable type printing press was invented in China a few hundred years before Korea took it and made a metal version of it. China also had lots of conflicts that were much more destructive than that war. The Taiping rebellion alone had a crazy death toll with conservative estimates numbering at 20 to 30 million, let alone the mongol invasion and other civil wars. For context, 17 million people died in World War 1. Shirvan's Achilles heel is East Asia it seems.
Adam G not to mention the red turban rebellion by which Ming took power, the Mongol devastation of the Jurchen dynastie of Jin...i mean cmon Asia is too big.
South Korea developed from the help of the Japnese government. Japanese has provided technology, money, and education. There was much Japanese-built transportation Seoul National University(No.1 Univ in Korea) was built by the Japanese, Many big companies in Korea like Samsung, received many helps from the Japanese companies
8:43 the 'close tie' you mentioned here isn't just that simple, they were actually a close vassal to the Ming dynasty. Every king of Joseon until mid 17 century was crowned by Ming emperor. The relationship between Joseon and Ming is more like the dukes in Holy Roman Empire to the Hubsberg emperors.
in the past, research groups at American universities have compared history textbooks from Japan, China, South Korea, the United States, and Taiwan. and It seems that it was evaluated as follows. History is "history" in Japan, but "propaganda" in China and "fantasy" in South Korea.
LOL This is coming from a japanese who claims they are victims of WW2? after commiting the worst war crimes in history of earth? hahaha these delusional japanese think they learn proper history
A lot of people are mistaken. It was only a few centuries ago that Japan became a powerful country in Asia. The invasion of Korea by Japan is a recent event compared to Korea's long history. Comparing Korea and Japan without knowing the history properly is like a man who has never masturbated himself LUL
LOL ... not so. The Book of Sui (隋書), one of the official Twenty-Four Histories of imperial China, says as follows: "Both Shilla and Baekje revered Wa (i.e.ancient Japan) as a superpower with a plenty of rare and precious things. Therefore, they would often send their envoys to Wa respectively." This Chinese official book was compiled from 636 to 656. Also, The Gwanggaeto Stele says, "Originally, Shilla together with Baekje had long been vassal states of Goguryeo, and paid tributes to her. Still, Wa crossed the water to defeat Shilla, Baekje and Gaya. Thenceforth, Wa made them her subject nations." According to the inscription of the stele, this happened in 391. As for the Gwanggaeto Stele, stupid Koreans would frequently assert that the inscription of the Stele was deliberately altered by a Japanese lieutenant named Kageaki Sako, since an ignorant Korean scholar groundlessly accused the inscription of being fake by making something out of nothing (this is the usual way of Koreans). However, in the year 2002, a Chinese researcher (徐建新) testified to the fact that lieutenant Sako's rubbing thoroughly corresponded to the transcription of the Stele which had been preserved in Beijing, China. Thus, Japan had subordinated Korea since 4th century, if not earlier.
Yes and no... In Modern days and recent history yes I'd agree with you but historically Korea actually suffered from the opposite. It was too peaceful. They didn't mind being a trade tributary with China and Japan at the time was far too weak to do anything. Ancient Japan wasn't very strong. Ancient Korea was strong but all that peace caused them to become weak and there was a lot of infighting causing them to become corrupt.
Korean is located the most dangerous area surrounding by big and aggressive countries. China, Japan, Russia, and Ameria all want something from that small country. It is a miracle just survival in that geographical circumstances for 5000 years. Best wishes to SK. One day as one Korea.
I admire your effort sir, but I must advise you to refrain from applying modern geopolitical narrative to ancient history... Anyone who watches this, please, be mindful that this video is a somewhat informative, but quite peculiar description of Korean history. A. Japan was not so much of a powerhouse in any term during ancient times. B. Ancient Korean countries shared a lot of commonalities back then, both in culture and in politics. C. Nothern Korean civilisation is known for its distinctive style. Archaeological evidence implies its strong connection to the ancient northern step civilisation. Not China. One thing... division between northern and southern Korean civilisation has been attempted by Chinese academics for some decades. It is part of their attempt to produce a 'Corrected' history to depict their country as one, undivided nation from ancient times (They are doing the same thing with southwestern Asian history as well). I think this video is somewhat affected by it.
Poland at least had the history of being the largest country in Europe, the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, but Koreans really hadn't been that strong ever
DeepDark Fantasy well Kogoryou as they want to make their history actually ruled over modern Manchuria which is larger than Japanese total land mass if you count..
DeepDark Fantasy, look up Goguryeo (Koryŏ). It's where the name Korea comes from. This video only skims the surface of Korean history, not to mention that it makes a bunch of mistakes.
This is BS. Koreans like the Jurchen, Jinn & Manchu ruled over China much more than China ruled over Korea & Japan was Korea’s historical ally against Chinese domination. You ignore the close ties of Japan & Gaya, Baekje, Balhae, Koryeo & more.
Just as the Native Americans of the United States once ruled the Americas, the peoples that once ruled the continent of China were not the Han Chinese, but the northern immigrant dynasties.

It's actually pretty funny how the history of Japan is 'we were barbarians, a more advanced society kicked our asses, we learned from it and decided to kick some ass ourselves'. Happened with China and then with the USA. Actually it's what I think would happen with humans if we encountered a more advanced alien civilisation.

China = middle country -> lies They were slaves of neighboring nomadic people. Chinese language is a hieroglyph of dialogue developed by drawing pictures among nomadic peoples. The present Chinese people lived in one place with agricultural people, so there was no reason to talk through the paintings. The language of China is made by nomads. Most of China's history is a history made by the surrounding nomadic people alternating with each other as slaves. Slaves say that nearby nomadic people belong to China in order to distort such facts. That's why they claim that Goguryeo or Balhae is China's history.

I've been training in taekwondo for 35 years, and I figured I should be familiar with the country from which my art arose. This was a terrific primer. Thanks.
BTW I'm a Korean, and seeing that you are interested in Taekwondo and Korean history, I thought you might be interested in this fact:
Contrary to what most Koreans think, Taekwondo is actually a modern Korean reinterpretation of Karate, which came from the Okinawa region of Japan. (Which still does not mean the two are the same, though! Taekwondo is still our national sport.) Traditional Korean martial arts are things like Gungdo (Korean archery), Ssireum (Korean wrestling), and Taekkyeon (rhythmic wrestling? idk how to describe this one).
Techniques from traditional Korean martial arts, such as tae kwon do and subak, are incorporated into taekwondo. Although early taekwondo was influenced by karate, modern taekwondo is connected to ancient Korean martial arts through the rediscovery of ancient traditional martial arts. Modern taekwondo is a very different martial art from karate, with a traditional Korean flavor, and according to Professor Kimmo Rauhala's thesis, 70% of the techniques are kicks, and these kicks are unique to the art. If you watch this video from the 1962 Korean Taekwondo Championships, you'll see that the fighting style is very different from karate.

The vowels are harder to remember, and there are a few subtle sounds that are confusing, but it is the most thoughtful alphabet I have ever seen.
The 500-year history of Korea, the Joseon Dynasty, was a society ruled by scholars and kings. The kings had to be smarter than the other scholars. They slept only five hours a day and spent most of the day discussing policies and studying academics. So, Hangeul is at a level that the king can make properly.
Holy crap. 12 ships defeated 300
Zero64 nah the ships are defeated by the storm
@Zero64 It’s not really that odd. Portugal for example always fought outnumbered and won.
Some examples:
Battle of Aljubarrota: 6.600 Portuguese knights vs 31.000 Spaniards;
Battle of Tiger’s mouth in China: 3-6 ships vs 300-700 ships;
Battle of Cochin 500 + 5 ships vs 70.000-80.000 + 260 vessels.
Note to say that the Portuguese Armada was once the strongest in the world. A single ship was a floating fortress with the strength of 100 ottoman/indian/chinese ships. The strongest galleon in the 16th century was a Portuguese ship named “Botafogo” (Spitfire) that had roughly 400 canons onboard.
That’s the real 300
펄럭
for those wondering how the korean admiral with 13 ships beat over 300 of the japanese it's because of a strong current that he knew about and he positioned his ships behind it, and when the japanese approached all there ships got destroyed in the current. it was very smartly done

3. Kingdom of Go-gu-ryeo was not started in Pyeong-yang either. they started at Jilin province of nowdays China.
4. Kingdom of Yamato was basically small country which does not include whole of japan. so trade with japan has NOT that dramatic impact on Koreans. however trade with Korea and China benefits alot to Japan. so they switch their main material from STONE to IRON.
5. Wang-gun who founded Kingdom of Goryeo was not focused on Japan or China. in that time, China was devided as well as Japan too.
just stop this nonsense already. I stop watching this video at this point. there is so many errors in here. I can literally write a paper about this.

Many people understands korean history by this falsy video and I'm deeply sorry.
Korean Peninsula was a dependency of China for almost one thousand years. It was Japan that made it independent.
Go-gu-ryeo was not Korean. They are different people. The ruling people were Jurchen.
Japanese iron production method Tatara has nothing to do with Korea.

Let me add a bit more detail. "Admiral" Yi Sun-Shin was originally an army "General". In the Chosun Dynasty, there was no distinction between the army (Yook-Goon) and the navy (Soo-Goon), but they were mingled together. In his early career, Yi Sun-shin had fought well as an army general in the northern territory and after he was assigned to be a Soo-Goon commander in Chola-Province, he started to build his fleet including the turtle ships and invented his naval tactics that were used successfully against the Japanese invading force. This integrity enabled him to win an impossible battle of 13 vs 300 ships later.
For everyone interested there is a movie called "The Admiral: Roaring Currents" about the battle of myeongnyang. Its grandious. Yi Sun-Sin was a great admiral.
Extra Credits did a great series on Admiral Yi. Worth checking out
This. High budget, really gives colour and character to the era. Several echoes around the internal political conflict, internal betrayal, and internal determinism and technological strength of Korea. www.imdb.com/title/tt3541262/
Yi Sun-sin:
Even though Korean wants to include Yi Sun-sin (李舜臣) as one of the three Greatest Admirals of the world, Horatio Nelson of the Britain who prevailed in the Battle of Trafalgar, John Paul Jones of the America who defeated the British for its independence, and Heihachiro Togo of Japan who defeated the Russia’s Baltic Fleet, he was not even a supreme commander, nor did he prevail in the battle that Koreans claim to have won.
To start with, throughout their history, Korea was the weakest in the region. Since the time of Yuan Dynasty, Korea had been a tribunary state of China for almost one thousand years. They always asked other countries to fight for Korea’s domestic issues like in the Korean War, and this is why they have no true national hero.
Yi Sun-sin was merely a commander of a fleet out of many Joseon fleets, certainly not the admiral or the commander of the Ming-Joseon Navy. Not only he failed to defeat the Japanese navy, he could not prevent them on the sea, allowing them to land on the Korean Peninsula.
Japan at the time was the hay days of samurai and had the largest number of guns in the world with many experienced samurai in communications and modern battle tactics of the day. Korea on the other hand was merely a tribunary state of Ming with NO guns. There is no way Korean could beat Japan by itself.
In fact, in the first dispatch, Japan conquered Seoul within one month, and Pyeongyang within two months capturing the princes of Joseon as a hostage while there was NO Japanese commander killed except for one who was assassinated during hawking.
The only military exploit that Yi Sun-sin had against Japan was when he attacked “a supply fleet” and temporally cut off its supply route. But this is by no means being destroyed or defeated. His strategies were more like those of pirates or guerrillas, setting fire on ships at night or attacking from the back of Japanese fleets after agreeing on cease-fire. Coward and so typical of the weak.
Later, since the military leader of Japan, Hideyoshi, who planned to conquer China through Korea, died of old age in Osaka, Japan agreed on cease-fire and retreated.
It is a blatant lie for Koreans to say that Yi Sun-sin was a great admiral of the world, defeated the Japanese navy, and is the one from whom the world’s other admirals learn from.
However, you could say that he had some brain, avoiding front-to-front battle with the mighty Japan.
Korean History:
When you talk about Korean history, the first thing you have to know is that almost no present day Korean can read their true official history since they cannot read Chinese characters in which their entire history was written.
The second thing is that Koreans did not leave much of written history and their first written official history book, Samguk Sagi, was only written in the 12th century. But even then, they do not refer to it much because there are so many shameful things written such as the kings of Silla were Japanese from Japan.
The third thing is that their history was “created” AFTER the WWII by South Korea when its independence was given by the US. There was urgent need to create its “history” to give the Government the legitimacy and to promote national pride to fight in the Korean War. Thus it had to be patriotic. So what they do is to cherry pick some points from ancient Chinese and Japanese documents and filled the gaps with fantasies.
No Koreans read their original. Nobody can even CHECK who is telling the truth. And they can only regurgitate the fabrications that their Government blatantly cocks up in order to hide the shameful part of their history including Jumong, Gojoseon and Goguryeo were not Korean but only conquered a part of Korea; the kings of Silla were Japanese from Japan; since the time of Yuan Dynasty, the Korean Peninsula was dependency of China for almost one thousand years; Korea was so poor and hopeless that their ancestors asked Japan to annex and modernize; the independence of South Korea was not fought for, but it was given by the US.
The truth is that the countries that existed in the Korean Peninsula were always weak since its soil is poor; weather is not favorable for crops; and there is not much resources. You can read books written by westerners who visited the Peninsula before the Japanese annexation. There are at least a half dozen of them with the most famous one being "Korea and Her Neighbors" by an English traveler, Isabella Bird. She says that Seoul was the dirtiest and smelliest place on Earth, and even in the main streets there were not cultural things like restaurants, tea houses, theaters, or even shops.
So just about everything you read and see about Korea’s history, that were “created" after the War and written not in Chinese but in Hangul (thus in English) such as Korean dramas, Wikipedia, recent history books, are all fabrications. South Korea even has a government body, the National Branding Council, to promote these fabrications by stealing other country’s history and cultures to gain the “soft power” for their economical profits. Their academics, corporations and public are all in this game led by the Government.
Several years ago, in response to China's and Korean's claims on Japan's history education, Stanford Uni. conducted research on the history education of five countries: China, Japan, Korea, Taiwan and USA. They concluded that the history taught in Japan was the fairest; in China, propaganda; in Korea, fantasy.
Traditionally, being sandwiched by strong dynasties and countries such as Mongols, Chinese, Russians and Japanese, throughout its history, the weak and poor Koreans always had to lie, deceive and betray for their survival. Lies and fabrications have always been a part of their history, tradition and culture.
This is what Koreans say about themselves: according to the main editorial by the Chief Editor of Choson Ilbo, the biggest newspaper in South Korea, on Mar 6, 2012, Feb. 2, 2010 and Feb. 13, 2003, "Koreans lie as if they breathe” and “Koreans are the world’s biggest liar of all." Korea has the highest fraud rate and is the only country whose fraud rate exceeds that of robbery in OECD. Also, all of perjury, calumny and fraud rates in South Korea are some 160-670 times higher than those of Japan.

Korea...the Poland of Asia
That doesn't seem like such a bad comparison, but then again I don't know terribly all that much about Korea so maybe it's not. It's always iffy comparing the situations of different States. Lots of different moving parts.
dimsum9797 you were right, but Korean weaponries were more advanced in tech than Poland at the time Yi sun sin (sorry for mispellled his name) was alive
Except Poland was an idiot that kept provoking its immediate neighbors (Prussia & Russia) while foolishly indulging in their "Golden Liberty" which paralyzed the Sejm for over a century. Korea meanwhile used its stronger neighbor to its advantage. For example this video forgot to mention that Admiral Yi sailed with a large Chinese support fleet, and the Chinese Vice Admiral was killed during the decisive battle that took Yi's life.
Day Y. For being a provocateur of ita own neighbour with a narrowed land, Poland is still running its their territory even today
@Duterte compare the map of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth and Poland today and see just how much they've lost (not to mention being completely absent for 123 years before 1918). Meanwhile the two Koreas put together still hold all the core Korean lands. South Korea in particular is considered a "tiger economy" of Asia, while Poland is 'meh' in the EU at best.
China has been teaching Gojoseon, Goguryeo, and Balhae in Chinese history since 1994!! In addition, they claim that traditional Korean clothes such as hanbok and gat, and traditional Korean foods such as kimchi, samgyetang, and samgyeopsal are also Chinese food! Pizza is originally from China, and Genghis Khan is also Chinese Vietnamese rice noodles!! I'm really embarrassed by the distortion of Chinese history 🤣🤣
It is though, idk how people think these cultures have so much in common. Did the koreans appear from thin air and just so happen to be just like their neighbours?

conan263 no during the occupation they were forced to speak japanese. They werr even stripped of their korean names amd given japanese names
Both Japan and Korea massively relied on China though. Language, culture, arts, technology, philosophy, music, fashion, basically everything has roots from China.
I think the Mongolian invasion to Japen finally give Japen its geopolitical difference as nation.
It was remotely far away even Japanese themselves couldn't awards invation from out of Japen
Basically the historical relationship between China, Japan and Korea is like the one between the UK, France and Germany, like a bunch of squabbling siblings.
Vital context of the Korean history and culture. So obvious with places like the Korean peninsula, Israel/Palestine, Poland... They're in geographical "pass throughs" that make them perpetual targets of invasion and subjugation. Fascinating, resilient societies that stem from those circumstances. Another hit, Shirvan!

Not impressed. Japan was not a threat until 1590 and recently 1910. So the explanation that korea was sandwiched between china and japan is inaccurate.
The threat mostly came from Northern tribes, not China or Japan.

Indeed, ancient Japan was not a threat, but a mighty nation to admire for Korean kingdoms such as Shilla or Baekje in old times.
For instance, the Book of Sui (隋書), one of the official Twenty-Four Histories of imperial China, says as follow:
"Both Shilla and Baekje revered Wa as a superpower with plenty of rare and precious things. Therefore, they would often send their envoys to Wa respectively." (新羅百濟皆以倭為大國 多珍物並敬仰之 恒通使往來)
I've been to South Korea during the Korean War 1951 to 1953 served at Soul and Busan .
This video is actually pretty bad, falling short of Caspian Report's usually excellent standards. I am not even halfway through and I already note two major errors.
1. Wang Gun, the founder of the Goryeo dynasty, did NOT establish an understanding with the Japanese in order to reunite the Korean peninsula. Japan at the time was in chronic turmoil under the ineffectual rule of Heian emperors, and was in no position to intervene in foreign states.
2. Wang Gun did not get the name of "Goryeo" from nowhere. He and his northern noble supporters considered themselves part of the ancient Goguryeo, who had shortened their name to Goryeo sometime in the 5th century AD. From Wang Gun's perspective, he was merely establishing the rightful rule of Goguryeo/Goryeo over the Korean peninsula. This is really important because numerous Manchurian dynasties could have, and did try to, claim Goguryeo heritage, but in the end Koreans got it due to Goryeo.
Kinda disappointed by the quality of this video, to be honest.

I seriously don't get why Koreans and Chinese have developed such resentment against each other. Korea's worst nightmares were not Chinese (that is, ethnic Hans) or Japan. They have been for several times but the real threats were the northern tribes which were nightmares for Hans as well. First, Xianbei almost destroyed both Buyeo and Goguryeo (especially the Muong Xianbei) and became significant threats to many Hans dynasty in the south, then Khitan devastated Balhae and Goryeo and Song Empire. After this, Jurchens came and they fought both Goryeo and Song consequently. The Mongols came after this (and you know what happened.) The reason Joseon sticked so much close to China is because they feared that the Jurchens still lurking in the Southern Manchuria region might get strong again and invade them. (Which they did) The only times in history where Korea and Hans came directly into conflict is Gojoseon-Yan War in the late 4th century BC, Gojoseo-Han War in the 109~108 BC, Goguryeo-Sui, Tang War (this can be controversial as well since Tang had an alliance with another Korean kingdom Silla) and Tang-Silla war (which both countries reconcilled with each other right after the war).
I seriously don't think Chinese hate Korean(as a Chinese myself), not sure why Korean hate Chinese either.

The world's first movable type printing press technology for printing paper books was made of porcelain materials and was invented around AD 1040 in China during the Northern Song Dynasty by the inventor Bi Sheng (990-1051).
Subsequently in 1377, the world's oldest extant movable metal print book, Jikji(If you search the picture of this book you will find out it was written in Chinese), was printed in Korea during the Goryeo dynasty.
@@paulhan1615 DNA and skull analysis showed the Founder of Shang Dynasty who created the hanja script were immigrants who came from the Liaodong/liaohua area, which is the birthplace of korean civilization. The concept of korea and china did not exist 3000 bc. We both influenced each other.
Hongshan Culture was in the Bohai region dates back to 4700 BC which is also the birthplace of Gojoseon which was founded 2333 BC. The most likely scenario is the Bohai region is birthplace of East Asian civilization and from there civilization branched to China and Korea.

The Baekje, Silla, Gaya weren't rebel states of Goguryeo; they started from uniting cheifdoms that existed under influence of Joseon(Early Joseon). Silla wasn't in a position that had to balance out China and Japan; Japan was pretty much irrelevant to the outer world until 16th century as they were disunited and behind in military tech. Silla's main military concerns were Balhae(Korean kingdom that everyone forgets to mention) and Goryeo's main military concerns were northern nomadic peoples of manchus/turks/mongols, Japanese pirates(waku), and China. Japan grew far stronger than Korea in their warring states period in 15th century.
Now yall know why Yi Sun Shin is standing middle of Seoul in front of King Sejong the Great 👑
Movable type was invented in China by Bi Sheng in the 11th century. The Koreans innovated by making caste iron movable type (the Chinese used ceramic, wood, and later bronze).
Yeah, I heard about that. But does it exist now? I also heard that it got destroyed by the red guards during the cultural revolution.
Bi Sheng's original movable type is gone (way before the cultural revolution). However, the technology persisted and spread across East and Central Asia for the next 500 years. When the Jesuits visited China from 1600-1800 AD, they were impressed by the efficiency of China's printing presses. Printing presses in East Asia were less mechanized compared to Gutenburg's press. We don't press the type on the paper. Instead we press the paper on the type.
Steven Zheng But the oldest "existing" paper printing technology can be referred to Koreans, or are there any other candidates?
I'm not sure actually. I know printed books from the Tang and Song dynasty still exist. The Tang dynasty used woodblock printing (check out the Diamond Sutra). Song dynasty books were printed using movable type.
Steven Zheng Well, if that's the case, Korean scholars and professors will definitely accept it. Just in case you take us for "unreasonable" people.

Japan has a high literacy rate for hundreds of years. It was higher than that of European countries. For a long time in Japan, the language culture was rich and the rational culture was mature. On the Korean Peninsula, slavery existed 100 years ago. Nearly 40% of the total population of Korea was a slave. Korea's literacy rate at that time was 6%. Japan abolished slavery in Korea. Korea, which was dominated by the dynasty of the day, monopolized the wealth of the poor Korean with a slight privilege class. The Korean citizens lived in a straw climbing roof, education, medical care and social systems were the poorest countries. The king of Korea was unable to suppress the rebellion of large farmers in Korea that occurred at the time. Then the king asked Japan and China to send troops to Korea. After suppressing that revolt, Ito (former Japanese prime minister) got angry that the king of Korea "why did you devastate Korea so far?"

Today O1 and O2a are southeast Asians. What made Koreans think O2 (b) origins were "Northeast Asians"?

O2a=Austroasiatic languages=Vietnam+Khmer...............
O2b=Korean+Janpan+Vietnam+Indonesia..........
O1+O2a=Tai-Kadai languages=Thailand+Laos+Zhuang..........
O3 originated in Yunnan or Burma
O3 (M122) =Sino-Tibetan(M134)+Hmong-Mien(M7)
Hmong-Mien=Hmong (Miao)+ Mien (Yao) ............
Sino-Tibetan=Han+Tibetan+Burmese+Tujia..............
Y-chromosome haplogroup O3 is a common DNA marker in Han Chinese, as it appeared in China in prehistoric times. It is found in more than 50% of Chinese males, and ranging up to over 80% in certain regional subgroups of the Han ethnicity
C-M217= Central Asian peoples+ indigenous Siberians...................
In the past

N1(xN1a, N1c) was found in ancient bones of Liao civilization
Niuheliang (Hongshan Culture, 6500-5000 BP) 66.7%(=4/6)

Dadianzi (Lower Xiajiadian culture, 4200-3600 BP) 60.0%(=3/5)
This region was thought to have been desert for the past 1 million years. However, a 2015 study found that the region once featured rich aquatic resources and deep lakes and forests that existed from 12,000 years ago to 4,000 years ago. It was changed into desert by climate change which began approximately 4,200 years ago.Therefore, people of the Hongshan culture may have emigrated to the south approximately 4,000 years ago and later influenced Chinese culture.
Hongshan Culture is related to Yi people[30%]，Lhoba people [34%] and “Han”
If Koreans originate from the Liao River Civilization
then their yDNA should belong to N1
But today Koreans belong to O2b
It contrast with korean's claim

Thank you for this contribution to Korean history. Even though some of parts are still controversial such as Gojoseon (not Bc 700 but earlier than Bc4,000 placed in Manchuria influencing to china, you can study 'the Hongsan culture' heritage which was regarded of the origin of Gojoseon), I reckon broadly understanding. Once again thank you.

If Balhae is not a Korean dynasty, Sui, Tang, Jin, Qing and every other "Chinese" dynasty that is ruled by North Asian nomadic tribes are not Chinese dynasties. Seriously who tf call someone babarian the whole time and embrace him as a family all of a sudden because of the territories?
Sui and Tang are mixed. The emperors of Sui and Tang recognize themselves as Han Chinese while they sometimes get married with nomadic wives.
@@zhangshujian7762 And the king of Balhae clearly stated his kingdom was a successor of Goguryeo. I don't know what the problem is.
The Japanese Empire also once ruled the Korean Peninsula, so can we conclude that the Japanese Empire is the Kingdom of Korea?
@@herosio270 I know right? CCP think Balhae is Chinese history because Balhae ruled the current "Chinese territory" which is Manchuria. That's just plain stupid.
The history of a country can be classified into territorial history and ethnic history. It is evident that the history of Balhae occurred on the territory of China, and of course, it is part of the history of China's territory. Also, don't forget that modern Manchus have already integrated into China, and the ancestral history of Manchus is also eligible for inclusion in Chinese history books. The region to which the name '中國' belongs is dynamic, initially only in the area of Henan Province.China itself is a melting pot of East Asian ethnic groups, which may not be well understood by Koreans.@@alessandrovialpando609

When you study East Asian history deeply enough, you would realize Japan was never a powerhouse until importation of muskets from Portuguese and unification by Oda Nobunaga, Daimyo of Owari.
The population and economic power of Japan surpassed Korea in 13th century when the peninsula was completely devastated by 40 years of mongol invasion. Soon Koreans established their own regime and occupied liaodong peninsula(which was de jure of Korea at that time) having political struggle with Ming over suzerainity of Jurchen tribes, Muromachi bakufu began to collapse; eventually leading to 100 years of internal struggle(Senkoku jidai) so they weren't a problem as a nation(except wokou pirates raided the coastline resident of Ming and Joseon).

Most of the Manchria used to be Koreans' historical sphere.
There are still many ethnic Koreans living there.
It was only 1949 China firmly secured its administrative body over the region.
KoJoseon and subsequently Kororuyo ruled almost all Northern part of China, defeating Chinese forces many times.
Jurins having established Ching China was actually part of the Korean heritages, sharing the same bloodline and language by which they could communicate with each other without interpreters.
Kojoseon's capital used to be located in the northern Manchria before it was relocated to Pyongyang.
And the history is really complicated.
So many theories compete against one another over the influence of China on the ancient Korea dynasties.
This clip is a little bit oversimplified.

Admiral Yi Sun Shin wasn't well known when he was still alive even after winning the battle in the sea. His king were afraid that people will love Admiral more than him so he made sure Admiral Yi Sun Shin will be put on his place. But centuries later, his legacy was still remembered and even Japanese people know him very well. Foreigners know Admiral Yi Sun Shin more than Korean which is quite shocking. Truth hurts but now, Korean people acknowledge all his work and legacy. His patriotism will forever be remembered even the highest heavens are amazed by his mindset. Watch the movie about him guys. You will be amazed for sure.

Off topic but your accent and voice in general is really calming. Works out that I can get some history lessons in as I try to fall asleep. Win win situation
Not very accurate and somewhat misleading and simplified narratives.
ADMIRAL YI 💖 💖 💖!!!
Yi Sun-sin:
Even though Korean wants to include Yi Sun-sin (李舜臣) as one of the three Greatest Admirals of the world, Horatio Nelson of the Britain who prevailed in the Battle of Trafalgar, John Paul Jones of the America who defeated the British for its independence, and Heihachiro Togo of Japan who defeated the Russia’s Baltic Fleet, he was not even a supreme commander, nor did he prevail in the battle that Koreans claim to have won.
To start with, throughout their history, Korea was the weakest in the region. Since the time of Yuan Dynasty, Korea had been a tribunary state of China for almost one thousand years. They always asked other countries to fight for Korea’s domestic issues like in the Korean War, and this is why they have no true national hero.
Yi Sun-sin was merely a commander of a fleet out of many Joseon fleets, certainly not the admiral or the commander of the Ming-Joseon Navy. Not only he failed to defeat the Japanese navy, he could not prevent them on the sea, allowing them to land on the Korean Peninsula.
Japan at the time was the hay days of samurai and had the largest number of guns in the world with many experienced samurai in communications and modern battle tactics of the day. Korea on the other hand was merely a tribunary state of Ming with NO guns. There is no way Korean could beat Japan by itself.
In fact, in the first dispatch, Japan conquered Seoul within one month, and Pyeongyang within two months capturing the princes of Joseon as a hostage while there was NO Japanese commander killed except for one who was assassinated during hawking.
The only military exploit that Yi Sun-sin had against Japan was when he attacked “a supply fleet” and temporally cut off its supply route. But this is by no means being destroyed or defeated. His strategies were more like those of pirates or guerrillas, setting fire on ships at night or attacking from the back of Japanese fleets after agreeing on cease-fire. Coward and so typical of the weak.
Later, since the military leader of Japan, Hideyoshi, who planned to conquer China through Korea, died of old age in Osaka, Japan agreed on cease-fire and retreated.
It is a blatant lie for Koreans to say that Yi Sun-sin was a great admiral of the world, defeated the Japanese navy, and is the one from whom the world’s other admirals learn from.
However, you could say that he had some brain, avoiding front-to-front battle with the mighty Japan.

@@augusthayek231 stop copy and paste wrong fact, nobody reads dude
wow, Korea is at the center of so much of east asian history. It's easy to understand the history of Japan, China and the Xiongnu/Jerchen people through the lens of Korean history.
The name of Korea comes from Goguryeo (BC 37 or 3rd century - AD 668), the name of which had been later changed by its king into Goryeo, or/and Goguryeo was sometimes called Goryeo, even before Silla unified three kingdoms(Goguryeo, Baekje[BC 18 - AD 660], smaller Silla[BC 57-AD 676]). Some rulers of Goguryeo founded Balhae after the fall of Goguryeo, claiming it to be a successor of Goguryeo.
Goguryeo or the "first" Goryeo originated from Buyeo, and Buyeo was founded at the place of Go-Joseon. "Old" Joseon or Go-Joseon was the first Korean kingdom and its name was just "Joseon" at its time, but for distinguishing from "later"/"Yi" Joseon, it is now called "Go(=old)-Joseon". Baekje came from the royal family of Goguryeo.
When greater/unified Silla (AD 676 - 935) weakened later, "new" Goryeo replaced the unified Silla, claiming that the new royal court succeeded "old" Goryeo (i.e., Goguryeo). "New" Goryeo (AD 918-1392) was a trade country where even muslim merchants came for businesses from the Middle East and its name was known to foreign countries as "Core", "Corea", and current "Korea" etc.
"Yi" Joseon (1392-1897)replaced "new" Goryeo, with the same name of the "old" Joseon kingdom.
Sum: Go("old")-Joseon->Buyeo->three kingdoms->greater Silla (+ Balhae in the North, which also claimed to succeed the fallen Goguryeo, but when Balhae fell later, its rulers were accepted by "new" Goryeo)-> "new" Goryeo -> "Yi" Joseon or just Joseon -> 20th century history of colonialism(1910-1945), provisional government (1919-45), division into north/south Koreas(1945-), Korean republic-building (1948-), and war in 1950-3, and now.
You failed to state the movement from the Kingdom of Balhae that basically started the Korean people.

great history video, id like to see more of these
Well I did know anything about Korea history Thank you for this video
Far too many mistakes in this video though. The movable type printing press was invented in China a few hundred years before Korea took it and made a metal version of it. China also had lots of conflicts that were much more destructive than that war. The Taiping rebellion alone had a crazy death toll with conservative estimates numbering at 20 to 30 million, let alone the mongol invasion and other civil wars. For context, 17 million people died in World War 1. Shirvan's Achilles heel is East Asia it seems.

Thank you for producing these reports. They are well-written and visually beautiful.
So many Korean pretend to know history of China without knowing ur own history.
6:15 no the printing press was already invented in China in the Song dynasty in 1041-1048, which is a few hundred years before Koreans
8:43 the 'close tie' you mentioned here isn't just that simple, they were actually a close vassal to the Ming dynasty. Every king of Joseon until mid 17 century was crowned by Ming emperor. The relationship between Joseon and Ming is more like the dukes in Holy Roman Empire to the Hubsberg emperors.
11:31 no it is not. Both Mongol invasion of east Asia and the Manchu invasion of Ming China had caused way server damage.
He specified "with moving parts". I´m pretty sure that this is where it differs from the chinese version
the unmovable printing printing press is already in exist in china as early as in the Tang dynasty, which existed 350 to 100 years earlier than 1041

Once again you have gavin us a master piece in such a shot time thank you bro.
in the past, research groups at American universities have compared history textbooks from Japan, China, South Korea, the United States, and Taiwan.
and It seems that it was evaluated as follows.
History is "history" in Japan, but "propaganda" in China and "fantasy" in South Korea.
Japan is notorious throughout the world for its severe distortion of history and culture.
Japan history is fake.
LOL This is coming from a japanese who claims they are victims of WW2? after commiting the worst war crimes in history of earth? hahaha these delusional japanese think they learn proper history
A lot of people are mistaken. It was only a few centuries ago that Japan became a powerful country in Asia. The invasion of Korea by Japan is a recent event compared to Korea's long history. Comparing Korea and Japan without knowing the history properly is like a man who has never masturbated himself LUL
LOL ... not so.
The Book of Sui (隋書), one of the official Twenty-Four Histories of imperial China, says as follows:
"Both Shilla and Baekje revered Wa (i.e.ancient Japan) as a superpower with a plenty of rare and precious things.
Therefore, they would often send their envoys to Wa respectively."
This Chinese official book was compiled from 636 to 656.
Also, The Gwanggaeto Stele says, "Originally, Shilla together with Baekje had long been vassal states of Goguryeo,
and paid tributes to her. Still, Wa crossed the water to defeat Shilla, Baekje and Gaya. Thenceforth, Wa made them her subject nations."
According to the inscription of the stele, this happened in 391.
As for the Gwanggaeto Stele, stupid Koreans would frequently assert that the inscription of the Stele was
deliberately altered by a Japanese lieutenant named Kageaki Sako, since an ignorant Korean scholar groundlessly accused the inscription of being fake by making something out of nothing (this is the usual way of Koreans).
However, in the year 2002, a Chinese researcher (徐建新) testified to the fact that lieutenant Sako's rubbing
thoroughly corresponded to the transcription of the Stele which had been preserved in Beijing, China.
Thus, Japan had subordinated Korea since 4th century, if not earlier.
Koreans & Japanese have blood ties since the Yayoi. Japan has been a vital ally to Korean Kingdoms throughout their shared history.

Yes and no... In Modern days and recent history yes I'd agree with you but historically Korea actually suffered from the opposite. It was too peaceful. They didn't mind being a trade tributary with China and Japan at the time was far too weak to do anything. Ancient Japan wasn't very strong. Ancient Korea was strong but all that peace caused them to become weak and there was a lot of infighting causing them to become corrupt.
Anybody else here because of watching 'the kingdom' on Netflix? I'm half Korean myself and didn't know anything about the history of korea till now

I admire your effort sir, but I must advise you to refrain from applying modern geopolitical narrative to ancient history...
Anyone who watches this, please, be mindful that this video is a somewhat informative, but quite peculiar description of Korean history.
A. Japan was not so much of a powerhouse in any term during ancient times.
B. Ancient Korean countries shared a lot of commonalities back then, both in culture and in politics.
C. Nothern Korean civilisation is known for its distinctive style. Archaeological evidence implies its strong connection to the ancient northern step civilisation. Not China.
One thing... division between northern and southern Korean civilisation has been attempted by Chinese academics for some decades. It is part of their attempt to produce a 'Corrected' history to depict their country as one, undivided nation from ancient times (They are doing the same thing with southwestern Asian history as well). I think this video is somewhat affected by it.
The Poland of Asia.
Poland at least had the history of being the largest country in Europe, the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, but Koreans really hadn't been that strong ever

They were slaves of neighboring nomadic people.
Chinese language is a hieroglyph of dialogue developed by drawing pictures among nomadic peoples.
The present Chinese people lived in one place with agricultural people, so there was no reason to talk through the paintings.
The language of China is made by nomads.
Most of China's history is a history made by the surrounding nomadic people alternating with each other as slaves.
Slaves say that nearby nomadic people belong to China in order to distort such facts.
That's why they claim that Goguryeo or Balhae is China's history.
The Goguryeo royal family claimed descent from the Gao Yang高陽氏， surname of "Go" (高)，高朱蒙（Gao/Go Jumong）
