Today I went to War Memorial of Korea. There were many pictures about recent happening, Chunanham Incident which North Korea provoked South Korea by shooting missile under Our ship and let our 48 people of navy.die. In In that place, I was able to hear about Great Victory Against Sui China, Hwarang, Mongol Invasions and Imjin war.
To begin with, I will talk about Great Victory Against Sui China. It is an war between Goguryeo, the powerful nation in Asia in 5th century and Sui China. The supprising thing was that Sui China's army was 1million and Gorguryeo only had 300 thousands.
Well, actually there was an possiblities to fight them and defeat them. Because Goguryeo had strong armys, good strategies and Sui China had self sufficiency.
Next, I will talk about Hwarang. Hwarang were an elite group of young men in the Silla Kingdom. They were sons of royal families or noblemen. Also they had five rules to promise, first, loyalty to the country, second, be good to parents, third, trust friends, fourth, never retreat in battles, fifth, don't kill anything without reason.
Then, I will talk about Mongol Invasions. The Mongol Empire was the largest kingdom in world history. They invaded Goryeo 2 times. This war lasted for 40 years, but they lost to Mongol. It was the saddest history in our war memorial.
Finally, I will talk about Imjin War. On1592, the reason of attacking Myong Dynasty, Japan asked Joseon to open the way to the Myong Dynasty. Of course Myong Dynasty was best friend of Joseon so Joseon refused to open the way to the Myong Dynasty for Japan. It is why Imjin war were happened. This war is known as Hideyoshi's invasion too.
In conclusion, I was able to see a lot of things such as Imjin War, Turtle ship, Hwarang, Mongol Invasions ,Great Victory Against Sui China and Guebeck's Hwangsanbal war including what I explained in 1,2,3,4th paragraph. |
