Today, I learned about our painful history, wars. Especially, I was so interested in development of our weapons, and the watering counter. I will talk about these happenings.

     First, about our development of our weapons. At Gojoseon period, bronze was used instead of metal because, metal is made at very hot temporture. And so, they couldn't find it. However, bronze is made with very many materials, it was so hard to get. So, only very high-status people had it, for decoration. It wasn't used for fighting, because it was not strong enough to fight, it was so precious, unacceptable to them that fight with bronze. And soon, they discovered metal, it was very good to get, it is made with one material, and additionlly, it is very strong to use, so people used it for farming and fighting.

     Second, about the watering counter. At that time, Goguryeo was so strong country in Asia, so Sui China was worried about it, decided to attack them. They attacked with 1 million soldiers, however Goguryeo defeated them, and they sent  300,000 men, but a famous general, Euljimundeok, defeated them with a great strategy. They blocked the river and waited until they come and cross the river without any doubt. And then, Sui China defeated, only 2700 soldiers survived. Isn't it so awesome? I was so excited. And this called, '»ì¼ö´ëø', '´ëø' means very big victory, it is in the 3 greatest victories in Korean history.

     And today, I learned these things, but I was quite sad about out defeat, Korean people's terrified life. I hope wars like these won't happen again.
