Literature

Main article: Korean literature

Korean literature written before the end of the Joseon Dynasty is called "Classical" or "Traditional." Literature, written in Chinese characters (hanja), was established at the same time as the Chinese script arrived on the peninsula. .Korean scholars were writing poetry in the classical Korean style as early as the 2nd century BC, reflecting Korean thoughts and experiences of that time.^ Since the early twentieth century, more than half of the forest resources were devastated through the Japanese colonization, Korean war, and other social turbulence.

Classical Korean literature has its roots in traditional folk beliefs and folk tales of the peninsula, strongly influenced by Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism.

Modern literature is often linked with the development of hangul, which helped spread literacy from the aristocracy to the common people and women. .Hangul, however, only reached a dominant position in Korean literature in the second half of the 19th century, resulting in a major growth in Korean literature.^ In 1974, the Korean government launched its first Force Improvement Plan, and by the 1980s, the ''Koreanization'' of Korean defense was well underway resulting in positive changes for the USFK role.

Location of Korea in East Asia

Korea is an area of land in the northeastern part of Asia.

The land of Korea was made into two countries after World War II. North Korea is in the north, and South Korea is in the south. North Korea is ruled by a military dictatorship. South Korea is a democracy. North and South Korea fought each other in the Korean War.

People have lived in Korea for about 15,000 years. In the past Korea was not just the Korean Peninsula, but also Manchuria and some of Siberia.

The best silk used to come from Korea. In the 7th century, the people of China also liked the gold-workers from Korea. Europeans knew very little about Korea until modern times. The printing machine was made in Korea in 1232 and used metal letters. This was a long time before Gutenberg made the printing press in Europe.

Korea is famous for its traditional food kimchi. Kimchi is spicy pickled Chinese cabbage. It is very popular in Korea.

The Korean people mainly eat cooked white sticky rice. Kimchi is the most popular dish in Korea. Traditionally, Koreans have seaweed soup on their birthday. It is good food for pregnant women.

South Korea has over 48 million people, and North Korea has more than 23 million. South Korea's biggest city is Seoul(서울), the capital of South Korea. The city has more than 10 million people and the region of Seoul has more than 21 million people. North Korea's biggest city is Pyongyang(평양), the capital of North Korea. It has less than 4 million people.

Korean people speak Korean. Many people in South Korea study English and other languages. Children in South Korea learn English and other languages in school.

South Korea is an advanced country with large cities, high-speed trains, high-speed internet, and many television and radio networks. Many of the television dramas made in Korea are popular around the world. Korean TV commercials are among the most expensive in the world^{[needs proof]}. But there are still poor areas in Korea. The Korean farmers are not rich and struggle to compete with cheap food from other countries.

History

Gochosun

Gochosun is the first state in Korean history. It was established in 2333 BCE. Its real name is Chosun, but it is called Gochosun to make it different from other Chosun in Korean history. Go is a Korean prefix meaning 'old'. The founder of Gochosun is said to be Dangun. The Korean people believe that Dangun established the country on October 3rd, and still celebrate that day. In Korea October 3rd is a national holiday, which is named Kaecheonjeol (The day heaven opened). It is said to be the day that Dangun's father whose name is Hwan-ung came from sky on October 3rd 2457 BCE. Gochosun was destroyed by the Chinese Han Dynasty in 108 BCE.

Proto-Three Kingdoms

After Gojoseon had been destroyed there were many ancient confederations in the Korean Peninsula and Manchuria : Mahan, Byeonhan, Jinhan, Buyeo, Dongye, Okjeo, Goguryeo, and so on.

The ancient confederation countries later merged into three more real kingdoms and a advanced confederation country.

Three Kingdoms

Main article: Three Kingdoms of Korea

Between 57 BC and the year 668 there were three kingdoms in Korean Peninsula and Manchuria. The names of the kingdoms were: Silla, Goguryeo and Baekje. In the year 372 the religion Buddhism came from China to Korea. Buddhism was very important in Korea.

In the year 660 the kingdom of Silla invaded the kingdom of Baekje. In the year 668 the kingdom of Silla invaded the kingdom of Gyguryeo. The people of Goguryeo ran away and made a new kingdom with the name Barhae. After a little time, the kingdom of Balhae was invaded by Liao Dynasty.

The time when Silla was the only country has the name Unified Silla. In the Silla kingdom Buddhism was very important.

Year	Event
57 BCE	Silla was established. The first leader is Hyeokgeose.
37 BCE	Goguryeo was established as a kingdom. The first leader is King Dongmyeong.
18 BCE	Baekje was established. The first leader is Onjo. The age of Three Kingdoms of Korea began.
1st century	Gaya was established by some states around Gimhae.
562 CE	Gaya was destroyed by and merged into Silla.
660 CE	Baekje was destroyed by Tang Dynasty and merged into Silla.
668 CE	Goguryeo was destroyed by Silla-Tang Alliance. The age of Three Kingdoms of Korea was finished.
935 CE	Silla was destroyed by and merged to Goryeo.

Goryeo(Corea)

In the year 918 the kingdom of Goryeo began. The name Korea comes from Goryeo. The kingdom of Goryeo had power until the year 1392.

The kingdom of Goryeo wrote the law in books, and had a big government. Buddhism was very important in the kingdom of Goryeo.

Joseon

In the year 1392 a man from the military of Korea went to China. His name was Yi Seonggye. Yi's job was to attack China. But Yi returned without doing it. When Yi came back to Korea, he changed the kingdom. Yi became king.

The name of the kingdom was Joseon. In the year 1394, the people of Joseon moved the capital to Seoul. The religion of Buddhism was not important. A new religion, Confucianism was important. Confucianism came from China.

In the year 1443 the king Sejong ruled. He invented the Korean alphabet Hangeul.

In the year 1592 and the year 1598 the people from Japan fought Korea. A man from the military made very strong ships, including the famous turtle ship. The name of the man was Yi Sun-sin. With the strong ships, the people of Korea won.

The people of Joseon were friends with the people of China.

Today, North Koreans use the name Joseon (officially Chosŏn) to mean Korea.

19th century

In the 19th century the people of Korea did not want to trade with other people. People called Korea Hermit Kingdom. see hermit

The people of the United States wanted to trade with Korea. The people of Japan also wanted to trade with Korea. Before 1876, everyone trying to trade by power failed. In the year 1876 the military of Japan fought Korea. Korea and Japan made a contract to trade.

In 1895 Japan won a war against China. This war was fought in the Korean peninsula. The name of the war was Sino-Japanese War. The military of Japan killed the Queen of Korea in 1895. The last name of the Queen was Min^{[needs proof]}. Korea's name changed to Daehan Jeguk (empire of Korea).

The people from Korea made friends with the people from Russia. In 1905 Japan won a war against Russia. The name of the war was Russo-Japanese War. In the year 1910, the emperor of Japan made Korea a colony of Japan.

Colony of Japan to nowadays

Korea was a colony of Japan from the year 1910 to the year 1945.

The Japanese rule had both advantages and disadvantages. On one hand, Koreans were forced to study the history of Japan and become Japanese. In 1919 the people of Korea made a big demonstration. The people asked the Emperor of Japan to make Korea an independent country. The police arrested many Koreans.

When World War II started, the policy of the Japanese government changed. They wanted Korea to be a part of Japan^{[needs proof]}. The government made the religion of Japan (Shinto) the religion of Korea. If they did not worship the Japanese religion, the Korean people would be imprisoned and tortured. The people of Korea were stopped from celebrating the festivals of Korea.

Many men from Korea went to the military of Japan and went to work in Japan. They worked in mines and factories. The men did not want to go, but the Japanese people wanted to. Some women were forced to work as prostitutes for Japanese Soldiers^{[needs proof]}. These women were called comfort women.

On the other hand, the Japanese also made the Korean economy and school system more modern. However, this stopped the Korean tradition and culture and made the whole country Japanese.

In the year of 1945 Japan lost World War II. The USA and the Soviet Union made a contract. The USA occupied the south of Korea. The Soviet Union occupied the north of Korea.

The people from Korea wanted to be independent. The USA and the Soviet Union wanted the people of Korea to be free. But in 1945 the USA and the Soviet Union were not friends. The Cold War started. The USA and the Soviet Union did not make a contract. In 1948 the people in the south made a country called South Korea. The USA helped the people of South Korea. In 1948 the people of North Korea also made a country. The Soviet Union helped the people of North Korea.

In 1950 a war started in Korea. The name of the war was the Korean War. The war ended in 1953, but no peace treaty was signed. The line between North and South was the same in the end as it was before the war. No land was lost or gained.

Now there are two countries: North Korea (also called the DPRK or Democratic People's Republic of Korea) and South Korea (also called the Republic of Korea).
