Joseon Dynasty
Shelf by nono umasy
The Joseon Dynasty, which ruled Korea from 1392 to 1910, is a significant chapter in Korean history characterized by its enduring cultural and political legacy. With a strong emphasis on Confucianism, the dynasty fostered intellectual growth, established a centralized bureaucracy, and implemented various administrative reforms. Joseon also saw remarkable advancements in art, science, and literature, including the invention of the Korean script Hangul. While the dynasty faced external threats, such as Japanese invasions and Manchu incursions, it managed to maintain its sovereignty for over five centuries, leaving a profound impact on modern-day Korea's identity and heritage.
