A Brief History of Korea

Isolation, War, Despotism and Revival: The Fascinating Story of a Resilient But Divided People

Beschreibung

Geographically isolated, the country was heavily influenced by powerful China and was often used as a bridge to the mainland by Japan. Calling themselves as "a shrimp among whales," Koreans borrowed elements of government, culture and religion all the while fiercely fighting to maintain independence from powerful neighbors.
