Part 1: Introduction Map of Korea Part 2: Prehistory and early kingdoms Prehistory and Myths Tangun creation myth of Korea North Koreans celebrating Foundation Day, October 3rd The Three Kingdoms Map of the Three Kingdoms Period With the decline and fall of the Han dynasty in China, the Chinese command posts were gradually abandoned and three major kingdoms emerged on the peninsula. These three rival kingdoms were: Koguryo (37 BC-668 AD), located on the northern half of the peninsula, and part of what is now northeast China. Paekche (18 BC- 660 AD), located in the southwest of the peninsula. Shilla (Silla) (57 BC-935 AD), located on the southeast of the peninsula near present-day Kyongju. Although the kingdoms differed in many ways and even may have spoken different languages, there were some similarities. All were agricultural economies based on rice cultivation (though other grains such as wheat and millet were also raised). Trade was mostly through barter, with a limited use of shell money or Chinese coins. Transport was by horse, oxcart, and ship. Each kingdom developed effective military forces of cavalry and foot soldiers employing weapons that included iron swords and spears, as well as bows and arrows. All grew up under the influence of Chinese culture. Archaeological evidence in the form of glass objects and animal designs on jewelry suggest contact with other cultural forces from farther west on the Asian landmass.

The Legend of Tan-Gun Pre-20th Century 20th Century Korean War Korea's Future Pre-20th Century - 57 B.C.: Evidence of inhabitants in Korea from as early as 4000 BC exists in Korea. Legend has that the man-god Tan Gun founded the Joseon (meaning Land of the Morning Calm Kingdom in 2333 BC. Almost no centralized communities existed from then until three kingdoms emerged in the 1st century BC. 57 B.C. - 668 A.D.: The Three Kingdoms of Silla Goguryeo , and Baekje had similar ethnic and linguistic backgrounds. Koguryo occupied the northern part of the peninsula from the Chinese border to the Han River, while Silla and Baekche dominated the southern regions. All three kingdoms were heavily influenced by China, and Buddhism was introduced to Koguryo in 372. Various alliances were formed either with or against the Chinese until 660 when Silla allied with China to overthrow Baekje. Goguryeo fell shortly afterwards in 668. The Silla Kingdom period marked the start of Korea's cultural development. Buddhism expanded and furled the construction of numerous temples and art works. However, despite Chinese influences, Silla remained largely tribal in culture. Society divided into distinct classes with a large semi-slave population supporting an aristocratic minority. Warlords began amassing power bases to the north and eventually took over Silla and founded a new kingdom- Goryeo Korea's English name was derived during the Goryeo period. At this time the government codified the laws and introduced a civil service system. During this time Buddhism flourished and spread throughout the peninsula. Like other kingdoms before it, Koryo was also subject to internal strife and external threats, most notably from the Mongols who had taken over China. In 1231 the Mongols invaded Korea, forcing the royal family to flee to Kanghwa Island near Seoul. After 25 years of struggle, the royal family finally surrendered. The following 150 years saw continued Goryeo rule, but under the control of the Mongols. As the Mongols declined in power, so too did Goryeo. In 1392 a Korean general

2010 Tours Pyongyang Mass Games Korea History In this section "Korea History - Japanese Colony" we focus on this dark period of contemporary Korean history that stretches all the way to 1945. Korea became a colony of Japan in 1910 after Russia lost the Russo-Japanese War in 1905. Infrastructures were created, but for the sole reason of Japan better exploiting their colony. The benefits of these did not by any means reach out to the Koreans, who were treated harshly. Taxes were introduced in order to overthrow local tenants (those who refused to pay were killed), with the sole purpose of sending rice to Japan. This led to famines. People were used as slaves for public infrastructure work and thousands of women were sent to Japanese soldiers' brothels abroad. Moreover, Japanese military control increased whenever Koreans tried to rebel against the colonial presence. Once the war broke with China in 1937 and the Second World War started, the Japanese tried to completely erase Korea as a nation. Japanese was taught in school, Korean history was not and it was forbidden for people to write or speak in their own language. People were also forced to have Japanese names. Many Korean historical relics were sent to Japan, where many still remain. This caused strong resentment of the Korean people towards the invading power, Japan, feelings that can still be felt to one extent or another in both South and North Korea

HISTORY North Korea Table of Contents PRIOR TO THE NATIONAL DIVISION of the Korean Peninsula in 1945, Korea was home to a people with a unitary existence, ethnic and linguistic homogeneity, and a historic bond of exclusionism towards outsidersa result of its history of invasion, influence, and fighting over its territory by larger and more powerful neighbors. This legacy continues to influence the contemporary Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK, or North Korea). There are other parallels between Korea's past and presentday North Korea. The traditions of Confucianism and a bureaucracy administered from the top-down and from the center continue to hold sway. Further, just as there was relative stability for more than two millennia on the Korean Peninsula, there has been relative stability in North Korea since Kim Il Sung came to power in 1946. As Confucian doctrine perpetuated the authority of the family system and the importance of education, so too were these elements paramount in Kim Il Sung's North Korea. Politics remain personalistic, and Kim has surrounded himself with a core of revolutionary leaders (now aging), whose loyalty dates back to their days of guerrilla resistance against the Japanese in Manchuria. Kim's chuch'e ideology also has its roots in the self-reliant philosophy of the Hermit Kingdom (as Korea was called by Westerners), and Korea's history of exclusionism also held particular appeal to a people emerging from the period of Japanese colonial domination (1910-45).
