History of Korea
Shelf by nono umasy
The history of Korea is a rich and complex tapestry that spans thousands of years, beginning with the ancient Korean kingdoms of Goguryeo, Baekje, and Silla, known collectively as the Three Kingdoms period. This era, marked by distinctive cultural and technological advancements, set the foundation for the subsequent unification under the Goryeo Dynasty, which is renowned for its artistic achievements and the introduction of Buddhism as a major influence. The Joseon Dynasty followed, leaving a profound legacy in Korean culture, including the invention of the Hangul alphabet and significant contributions to Confucian philosophy. The 20th century witnessed a tumultuous period with Japanese colonization, the Korean War, and the eventual division into North and South Korea, each taking distinct paths in political and economic development. Today, Korea's history continues to shape its cultural identity and geopolitical significance on the world stage.
