Scientists with slightly less respect for Korean mythology believe Korea was first inhabited around 30,000 BC, when tribes from central and northern Asia stumbled on the peninsula. Under constant pressure from China, these tribes banded together to found a kingdom in the 1st century AD. By 700 AD the Silla Kingdom of Korea was hitting its cultural stride, littering the country with palaces, pagodas and pleasure gardens and influencing the development of Japan's culture. But in the early 13th century the Mongols reached Korea and gave it their customary scorched-earth treatment. When the Mongol Empire collapsed, the Choson Dynasty took over and a Korean script was developed. In 1592 Japan invaded, followed by China - the Koreans were routed and the Chinese Manchu Dynasty moved in. Turning its back on the mean and nasty world, Korea closed its doors to outside influence until the early 20th century, thus presaging the events of the twentieth century. Japan invaded the peninsula in 1904, and officially annexed it in 1910. The Japanese, who hung on until the end of WWII, were harsh masters, and anti-Japanese sentiment was strong. After the war, the USA occupied the south of the peninsula, while the USSR took over the north. Elections to decide the fate of the country were held only in the south, and when the south declared its independence, the north invaded. The ensuing war lasted until 1953 (or is still continuing, if you count

Much of the guerilla warfare conducted against the occupying Japanese took place in the northern provinces and Manchuria, and northerners are still proud of having carried a disproportionate burden in the struggle against Japan.

BACK TO THE FRONT PAGE BASIC INFO. ECONOMY GEOGRAPHY ... SOUTH KOREA According to Korean legend, the god-king Tangun founded the Korean nation in BC 2333. By the first century AD, the Korean Peninsula was divided into the kingdoms of Silla, Koguryo, and Paekche. The Silla kingdom unified the peninsula in 668 AD. The Koryo dynasty (from which the Western name "Korea" is derived) succeeded the Silla kingdom in 935. The Choson dynasty, ruled by members of the Yi clan, supplanted Koryo in 1392 and lasted until the Japanese annexed Korea in 1910. Throughout most of its history, Korea has been invaded, influenced, and fought over by its larger neighbors. It has suffered approximately 900 invasions during its 2,000 years of recorded history. Korea was under Mongolian occupation from 1231 until the early 14th century and was repeatedly ravaged by Chinese (government and rebel) armies. The Japanese warlord Hideyoshi launched major invasions in 1592 and 1597. China had by far the greatest influence of the major powers and was the most acceptable to the Koreans. The Choson Dynasty was part of the Chinese "tribute" system, under which Korea was independent in fact, but acknowledged China's theoretical role as "big brother." China was the only exception to Korea's long closed-door policy, adopted to ward off foreign encroachment, which earned it the name of "Hermit Kingdom" in the 19th century. Korea's isolation finally ended when the major Western powers and Japan sent warships to forcibly open the country. At the same time, Japanese, Chinese, and Russian competition in Northeast Asia led to armed conflict and foreign intervention established dominance in Korea, formally annexing it in 1910.

Perhaps the country's obsession with serenity came from its location: It has long been surrounded by powerful and intrusive neighbors. After the cultural unification of Korea in AD 668, the country was devastated by the invading armies of Japan in 1592 and the Manchus three decades later. Korea responded by turning its back on the world and developing its own unique culture in isolation, becoming the "Hermit Kingdom" of Asia.

A cease-fire was called in 1953, though no permanent peace treaty has ever been signed. (A nonaggression pact was finally reached in December 1991.)

History of Korea Ancient History (pre-918 A.D.) Koryo Dynasty Choson Dynasty Colonial Period Liberation and the Korean War ... Contemporary Korea (Post 1953) Cultural Assets of Korea The Hermit Kingdom [ In the Beginning ] The migration of Neolithic nomads from central Asia and Siberia led to the gradual emergence of villages and small communities in Manchuria, China and Korea. Sedentary nomadic clans established agricultural settlements that later evolved into the first walled-town tribal states which set the mold for future social evolution on the Korean peninsula. Developments in China during the Warring States Period led to a buildup of tensions among China, Manchuria, and Korea's emerging tribal states. [ Tales of Three Kingdoms ] Alliances among Korea's tribal states gave rise to the kingdoms of Puyo and Koguryo. China conquered the Liao-tung River basin and northern Korea to protect its northeastern frontier from the increasingly powerful northern steppe nomads. After the fall of the Chinese Wei Kingdom, Hsiung-nu nomads took control of northern China and the Liao-tung region. Manchurian Hsien-pei tribes destroyed the northern kingdom of Puyo and battled Koguryo for control of Liao-tung region. Refugees from Puyo later formed the southern Korean kingdom of Paekche. The Kingdom of Silla emerged as a major aristocratic power in southeastern Korea. The Japanese kingdom of Yamato emerged as diplomatic relations developed among Korea's Three Kingdoms and China.

Gateway to Korea Hopia Information Center for the Korea Network SAME Home General Overview History Tourism ... Korean History The history of human activity in Korea can be traced far into the Paleolithic period , about 500,000 years ago. The beginning of Korean history is often dated to 2333 B.C . when King Tan-gun , a Legendary figure born of the son of Heaven and a woman from a bear-totem tribe, established the first kingdom named Choson, literally meaning the "Land of the Morning Calm." While the historicity of the Tan-gun myth is disputed among scholars, it is known that ancient Korea was characterized by clan communities which combined to from small city-states. They rose and fell so that by the first century B.C. three kingdoms , Koguryo (37 B.C.-A.D.668), Paekche(18 B.C.-A.D.660)and Shilla (57 B.C.-A.D. 935), had emerged on the Korean Peninsula and part of what is now known as Manchuria. The Balhae Kingdom] Ever since Shilla unified the peninsula in 668, Korea has been ruled by a single government and has maintained its political independence and cultural and ethnic identity in spite of frequent foreign invasions. Both the Koryo(918-1392)and Choson (1392-1910) Kingdoms consolidated their dynastic power and flourished culturally, while repelling intruders like the Khitans, Mongols, Manchus and Japanese. In the late 19th century

17. Korea History controversy over the legitimacy of the Republic of Korea government and set Kim s election marked a significant milestone in modern Korean history the first http://www.cfac.navy.mil/Koreahislang/korea_history.htm

According to legend, Korea was founded in 2333 B.C. by a mythical figure named Tan'gun. The earliest Korean people are believed to have been migrants and invaders from present-day Manchuria, northern China, and Mongolia. They are also believed to have been divided into large extended kin groups and most likely practiced shaman ism, a belief system that centers on worship of nature and ancestral spirits that has persisted through the centuries. From the fourth century A.D. to the mid-seventh century A.D., three kingdoms fought for control of Korea: Koguryo in the northern part of the peninsula and Manchuria, Paekche (18 B.C.) in the southwest, and Shilla (57 B.C.) in the southeast. As they progressed into statehood, each developed institutions of centralized power and authority. In 668 A.D., Korea emerged as a unified political entity under the Shilla Kingdom. The century that followed is usually described as a golden age of artistic and cultural development, as the diminished threat of invasion from the north permitted Korean scholars to travel to China and bring back advanced Chinese culture. In the mid-eighth century however, central authority began to decline. The Shilla Kingdom was overturned in 935 A.D. by the dynasty of Koryo, from which the name "Korea" was derived.

BJU INTERNATIONAL, Volume 89: Pages 48-54, January 2002. Extraordinarily high rates of male circumcision in South Korea: history and underlying causes M.G. PANG and D.S. KIM* GenDix, Inc. and Institute of Reproductive Medicine and Population, and *School of Physics, Seoul National University Seoul, South Korea Objective To investigate the high circumcision rate in South Korea and its rapid increase in the short period since its introduction. Subjects and methods From January to December 2000, 5434 South Korean males (or their parents) aged 0-92 years were interviewed in detail about their circumcision status, their age at circumcision, and the possible effect of circumcision on their sexuality. In addition, 267 practising medical doctors were surveyed about their basic understanding of circumcision and phimosis. Results but a man was twice as likely to have experienced diminished sexuality rather than improved sexuality. Of the doctors who were surveyed, 41% carried out circumcision but, unlike in America gynaecologists and paediatricians rarely did so. Among the factors contributing to the high circumcision rate was the mistaken notion held by both doctors and the general public that circumcision is directly correlated with industrialization and general progress of living standards. Many doctors believe the out-dated and sometimes controversial benefits of circumcision, i.e. prevention of cervical cancer and sexually transmitted diseases, and improved sexuality. Thus the vast majority of doctors recommend circumcision regardless of the patient's age Peer pressure was also an important contributing factor.
