Hello, my name is kim Jueun. Today, I will tell you about mongol invasions. Mongol Empire invaded Goryeo first in 1231 and attacked Goryeo six more times until 1254. At that time, the ruling class of Goryeo did not have enough power to keep the country. They ran away to 강화 island. However, the people of Goryeo did not give up. A brave army called 삼별초 kept fighting to the end. Though Goryeo resisted for about 40 years, they eventually lost control to the Mongols. The people of Goryeo had to wear Mongolian costume. The Goryeo prince was forced to marry a Mongol princess. Though Goryo was freed from Mongolian rule during the king 공민's time. During the Mongolian invasion, the people of Goryeo made 팔만대장경. It is Buddist text on 80,000 wood bocks. They wanted Buddha to save the country. I think king 공민 was very smart. Because he freed people from Mongol!! Thank you!!
