Historically, Korean women's clothes show their nipples (about 11 years old. After they get married and have children), until they are old, they use their heads to transport things (and the original culture of Africa). * Ancient Korean traditional costumes are pure white (the Korean people have been known as the "White clothes ethnic" since ancient times), and women's clothes are exposed their nipples (the Korean people show their nipples to represent the beauty). This reflects the ancient Korean people and thoughts. ------------------------------ 1910. Japan has swallowed Korea. The Japanese believe that some of the low -level Korean traditional culture and primitive (women expose their nipples and transport things on their heads) are very primitive and backward. The Japanese banned Korean women from exposing the nipples (the traditional Korean costume. Hanbok). The Korean people strongly resisted. Koreans believe that this is a traditional culture of Korea. They insist on retention. In the Korean capital city. As long as the Japanese see those Korean women who show their nipples, they will give them penalties and slaps. After that, the Korean capital city gradually reduces Korean women's nipples. They cover the nipples with a piece of cloth. (But in the place where there are fewer Japanese soldiers. Korean women still maintain the traditional culture that exposes nipples). Until 1950, Westerners were still taking photos in Korea. A photo of Korean women showing nipples on the street (traditional Korean clothing). In 1970, this kind of Korean traditional culture disappeared completely.

Korea is the only East Asian country on the continent that has not been absorbed by China.. All other ethnic groups have been absorbed, so China is now made up of 56 ethnic groups.. Korea is a country that has survived as a single people for several years.. So Korea has Korean language and writing culture.. The reason why Korea was not absorbed by China is due to geographical reasons.. 70% of the country is a mountain.. So it is easy to defend against war.. And Koreans have a very strong nationalism..When they were invaded from outside, they fought with their lives..In the 5,000-year history, the country was stolen to Japan for 35 years..But even during the Japanese colonial era, Koreans killed Japanese soldiers with numerous independence movements. ..... Even now, if there is an outside invasion, Korea will fight at the risk of life.. But Korea is a huge weapon producer and has thousands of missiles, so it won't be easily destroyed even if it is invaded from outside.

@@planescaped the "Northern barbarians" were the Koreans - along with the Mongols and the Jurchens. The great wall of china is just slightly above beijing. Manchuria was never conquered by the Han chinese nor was it EVER chinese territory (except the few yrs where shilla gave away some northern territory to Tang. but that really was maybe for a decade or 2). Northeast Manchuria were traditional Jurchen area, and southwest were traditional Korean lands. Eventually the Jurchen clan of Aisin Gioro rose to power in the area when korean presence was diminished (volcano eruption, inner conflict etc), and eventually united manchuria. they then made a pact with Joseon (korea) and freely attacked Han china and absolutely annihilated them. And china was under Manchu rule for 300 yrs, until they were overthrown by the xinhai (chinese) revolution. But by then, it was the 1900s and Korea had been annexed by imperial Japan, and the Russians were contesting Manchuria with japan, while china was still going through a civil war The manchurians had no place to go. .. Till Imperial japan proposed Manchuko, and drove out the russian influence in the area. the manchu people along with native koreans moved back to their Manchurian homeland during this time... until ww2 happened and all the land was once again stripped from them once again. Also, since Imperial japan mucked up traditional border lines so much, the Jurchens, Manchurian kOreans, and Manchuria itself was wiped off the face of the map, and for the first time in China's history, Manchuria was handed to the chinese by the allies while the Koreas were divided in 1/2 .. cus obviously the allies did not know the history of the region. Shortly after, the genocide of the manchu pple in china began, much like how the chinese are trying to erase Uhyghyrs from history ( also not traditional chinese land). and just like that. Manchuria was wiped off the face of the earth.and china want you to forget that manchuria even ever existed the country that benefited MOST from WW2 has got to be china and the USA. everyone else were screwed over.

The kingdom of Wa in Japan responded to Baekjae's appeal for help against the Tang, dispatching over 40,000 troops to help defend Baekjae. Although they were defeated, it shows that the two kingdoms of Baekjae and Wa were closely allied with each other. Their royal families intermarried. Later, Baekjae royal officials and the descendents of the king fled to Japan, where they became assimilated and established their own fiefdom in medieval Japan.

@@barbiebarbie1813 keep coping lol Also the Chinese always for more than a thousand years described Goguryeo as Korean 1) Xu Jing (徐兢, 1091-1153) of the Northern Song Dynasty makes it clear that Goryeo was the continuation and equivalent of Goguryeo through his texts written in the Gaoli-tujing (高麗圖經). He illustrates the history of the Royal Family of Goryeo and states that the people re-founded their nation once again after the decline of their predecessors. 2) Chinese historical texts, particularly the dynastic historical records of Chinese Dynasties, repeatedly describe Goguryeo as a part of Korean history rather than Chinese history and confirm the succession of Goguryeo by Goryeo.[98] For example, in the Yuanshi, Ming Chinese historians describe the succession of Goguryeo by Later Goguryeo and Goryeo as follows: "The King's family name was Ko. His country fell during the Ganfeng era of tha Tang. After the Chuigong era, his descendants received titles, and gradually became independent. In the Five Dynasties (Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms Period), they moved the country to Songak and raised a King, whose family name is Wang and first name is Geon."[99] Another example is the Mingshi, where Qing Chinese historians describe the succession of Goguryeo by Goryeo and subsequent unification of the Later Three Kingdoms as follows: "Ko, from the Buyeo people, founded a country in the land at the end of the Han Dynasty and named it Goryeo or Goguryeo, and lived in Pyeongyang...but was later defeated and forced to move east. During the Later Tang, Wang Geon succeeded Go, absorbed Silla and Baekje and moved the capital to Songak."[99] As Historian Lee Soon Keun notes, "The Jiuwudaishi was written in 973, the Songshi, Liaoshi and Jinshi in 1344, while the Mingshi was finished in 1739... The above records (which are the dynastic histories of Chinese empires) all acknowledge that Goryeo had succeeded Goguryeo. In 3-1, all the names are recorded as Goryeo except in the last instance, where it was written as Goguryeo, as in the examples mentioned above, which again shows that there was no distinction between Goryeo and Goguryeo. In other words, it is confirmed throughout China's official historical documents written after Tang that China had viewed Goguryeo's history as having been carried on by Goryeo." Lee further notes that the Mingshi and Qingshi also recognize the succession of Goguryeo by Goryeo and clearly described it. 3) Kublai Khan regarded Goryeo as the same country as Goguryeo. By the end of the Mongol invasions of Korea, Kublai was in the middle of a power struggle with Ariq Böke whom was residing in Karakorum while Kublai himself was participating in the Chinese Campaign. Having the Goryeo crown prince come before him to concede after decades of fighting, Kublai Khan was jubilant and said "Goryeo is a country that long ago even Tang Taizong personally campaigned against but was unable to defeat. But now, its crown prince has come before me, and this be the will of heaven as it is!" So basically everyone except you and the fringe for 1000+ year saw Goguryeo as Korean

Yes pls I'm interested about their ancient history I went there last year and I'm really amazed by angkor wat

This is fascinating. I have never heard of this period of Korea’s history. Well done. 👍

I have been living in Deajeon, South Korea for nearly 4 years. This was great and helpful. I have tried to study the history here but the names all muddle together too often for me (and the time line is so long). So I try to use Roman emperors as time-markers but that doesn't always work either. The visual maps and such here were very helpful to me. Visiting the historical sites here is also often not helpful as generally there have rebuild within the past few decades and look extremely similar as a result.

To add, Silla did not technically unify all the three kingdoms because about 20 years after the fall of Goguryeo another powerful kingdom named Jin (or, more famously known, Balhae) was established, whose population consisted of former Goguryeo people, and recovered and even extended beyond the former territory. Thus, some people call the period North-Southern kingdoms period rather than unified Silla period.

Historically, Korean women's clothes show their nipples (about 11 years old. After they get married and have children), until they are old, they use their heads to transport things (and the original culture of Africa). * Ancient Korean traditional costumes are pure white (the Korean people have been known as the "White clothes ethnic" since ancient times), and women's clothes are exposed their nipples (the Korean people show their nipples to represent the beauty). This reflects the ancient Korean people and thoughts. ------------------------------ 1910. Japan has swallowed Korea. The Japanese believe that some of the low -level Korean traditional culture and primitive (women expose their nipples and transport things on their heads) are very primitive and backward. The Japanese banned Korean women from exposing the nipples (the traditional Korean costume. Hanbok). The Korean people strongly resisted. Koreans believe that this is a traditional culture of Korea. They insist on retention. In the Korean capital city. As long as the Japanese see those Korean women who show their nipples, they will give them penalties and slaps. After that, the Korean capital city gradually reduces Korean women's nipples. They cover the nipples with a piece of cloth. (But in the place where there are fewer Japanese soldiers. Korean women still maintain the traditional culture that exposes nipples). Until 1950, Westerners were still taking photos in Korea. A photo of Korean women showing nipples on the street (traditional Korean clothing). In 1970, this kind of Korean traditional culture disappeared completely.

History books of the sui dynasty and tang dynasty also recorded goguryeo as goryeo

Five logical steps to prove that Goguryeo is Korean history. 1, the clothes of Goguryeo are similar to those of Silla. They wear a cone hat decorated by feather and a coat over their pants. You can see this in ancient murals or 2, Goguryeo's tomb style is identical to that of Baekje. 3, There is no discovery Scythian-style crowns in China while found in Goguryeo. Currently, only gold, silver and bronze crowns are found in Baekje, Silla, Goguryeo in common. 4, According to Nihon Shoki, the oldest japanese history book, the three kingdoms of the Korean Peninsula spoke the same language.(The three kingdoms lent each other translators when they needed to go to China.) 5.For a long time, Chinese historians couldn't interpret what was written on the tombstone of King Gwanggaeto. They didn't even know it existed before the Qing Dynasty. As a result, the first people to interpret were Japanese. On the other hand, even the Samguk Sagi,the korean history book, is recorded. And on this monument, the king himself asked the Korean(韩人) to protect his tomb.

No, Koguryo is an ancient country in Northeast Asia, not Korea. South Korea is now the successor of Unification Silla. 1. The founder of Koguryo claims to be Fuyu and a descendant of Chinese ancestors. 2. Most of Koguryo's oldest historical records are in Chinese history books. 3. The history of the three Kingdoms of South Korea was written more than 600 years after the demise of Koguryo. 4.The royal family of Baiji is from Koguryo. It is normal for them to be similar. 5.Koguryo and Baiji share the same language, but they are different from Silla. The language of Silla is the predecessor of Korean, while Gaoguri is recorded in ancient Chinese books similar to the language of the Fuyu nationality. 6. Most of Koguryo's territory is in China at present, and most of the Gaoguri still live in northeast China. More than 10,000 members of the royal family of Koguryo were exiled to China.

Yeah that war was funny. Shilla bides its time for a few years until Tang withdraws its troops (partly because Tibet was threatening their western borders big time), then they swooped in and attacked. Then they "submit" and apologize for their behavior and Tang has its hands tied so they just agree to peace.

The name korea came from Goryeo (AD 10C~14C). Goryeo was a country that meant having Goguryeo. That is, the Goryeo people, the ancestors of modern Korea, regarded Goguryeo as the history of the same people. But why does China say that Goguryeo is the history of China? Chinese people say that both the history and culture of neighboring countries are Chinese.

Very nice video. A few things to note: 1. Unlike the map, recent archeological finds in 2014 suggest Gojoseon was originally located in Chinese Liaoning Province, where Yan kingdom eventually occupied. This makes sense since history books write Yan invaded Gojoseon's western territories and taken over its vast lands. 2. After the Tang-Silla alliance defeated Goguryeo, Tang tried vassalizing Silla thinking Silla wouldn't have the manpower to resist large occupational forces. To Tang's surprise, Silla was able to pursuade Goguryeo refugees to fight on their side and immediately launched a counter attack against Tang. Silla eventually won, pushing back the Tang forces past the Liao river which was Goguryeo's old border with Tang (aka old Yan/Gojoseon territory). After the victory Silla tried absorbing all civilian population from the three kingdoms. However, 20 years later a group of enslaved Goguryans and Manchurian nomads escaped from Tang territories and into old Goguryeo lands. They refuse to join Silla and formed their own kingdom which becomes Balhae. The 3 way split of Unified Silla mentioned in video took place 200 years after the founding of Balhae. 3. At 3:20, it's unclear which kingdom is being referring as densely populated. 4. Gaya people have a part Tamil Indian ancestry. Records write Gayan King Kim Suro married a queen who travelled acrossed the seas from a land called Ayuta and brought many servants and followers with her. Most importantly, early Gaya founders were found to possess ironwork skills when rest of the Korean tribes still used Bronze technology.

well, every countries have its dark period stories. Modern Korean history is one of them but there was a period that Korean kingdom is a superpower of the region. As we can see in this video, Goguryeo is one of them. Just like the United States has prevented the growth of Japan through trade wars and is now doing the same with China, Sui also started a war to prevent the growth of Goguryeo but they failed and collapsed. There's Balhae which was founded after the fall of Goguryeo and also Goryeo which was founded after the fall of United Silla, too. 20th century Korea makes us hard to think that Korea has its superpower or regional power periods in the past.
