Living is not as good as ancient times, and the modern humiliating history of the Korean peninsula has been constantly destroyed by the great powers.

Speaking of North Korea, we are certainly no strangers. As neighbors of China, we all know something more or less.

But when it comes to the history of North Korea, we feel completely ignorant, because although North Korea is our neighbor, most of us know about North Korea only by its name. Today, let's get to know this special country together.

South Korea is located on the Korean peninsula with a long history, which can be traced back to the Stone Age. The first country that appeared on the Korean peninsula was extremely mysterious. It exists in some of our ancient documents, such as Shan Hai Jing and Guan Zi, and gives a brief description of ancient Korea.

Therefore, for North Korea, we must first formalize it, because it has a strong sense of historical existence. To some extent, its history can even be compared with that of China. On the other hand, in China's 5,000-year history, the country of North Korea has always appeared in our history very frequently.

In the history of Korea, it was deeply influenced by the ancient feudal dynasty of China, whether in culture or other aspects. As for the race in North Korea, it is even more complicated, including local aborigines and immigrants from the Korean Peninsula.

From the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period to the later Han Dynasty, and even to the feudal dynasties of many dynasties, many China people came to the Korean Peninsula for various reasons, settled down there and took root, so fundamentally speaking, the countries on the Korean Peninsula are inextricably linked with China.

There are many Korean names in history, and there are also many kingdom forces on the Korean peninsula. In the Qin dynasty, the forces on the Korean peninsula existed in the form of tribes. In the Han Dynasty, there were three Koreas on the Korean Peninsula. In the Sui Dynasty, the Korean Peninsula was divided into Koguryo, Silla and Baekje.

Koguryo is the strongest. What are its advantages?

Apart from the land area, during the Sui Dynasty in China, the Sui Dynasty attacked Koguryo three times, but all failed in the end. After the establishment of Li Tang, it also sent troops to attack Koguryo, but the first attack failed. This incident dragged on until 668, when Goguryeo was destroyed in the Tang Dynasty and Silla ruled the Korean peninsula.

There is an old saying in China that "prosperity will decline". After decades of changes, Silla finally went into decline. In the case of the decline of Silla, some unstable factors immediately jumped out, so there appeared forces such as post-Koguryo and post-Baekje on the Korean peninsula, and the world will be United for a long time. In the case of many forces competing, the post-Koguryo was overthrown again, followed by the establishment of North Korea.

From 9 18 to 1392, North Korea began to rule the Korean Peninsula, and this situation remained until the period of Zhu Yuanzhang, the Ming emperor of China, who once again turned his attention to this special country. Under the pressure of the Ming Dynasty, Korea became Korea in history, which officially opened the era of the Korean dynasty.

The era of the Korean dynasty should be the most orderly era in this country. The replacement of the leaders of the Korean dynasty is only a microcosm or replica of the ancient feudal dynasty in China, and the Korean dynasty has always been obedient. Since the Ming Dynasty, he has been obedient to the ancient feudal dynasty of China. This situation has been going on for a long time.

Even in Yuan Shikai's time, Yuan Shikai tried to completely master the Korean dynasty and turn it into a vassal state of the Qing Dynasty, but the powers obviously would not let this happen. In the end, the decadent Qing dynasty failed to master the Korean dynasty, and Korea was eventually colonized or even forcibly occupied by Japan, which opened the period of forcibly colonizing Korea.

In this process, the Korean people are struggling. 1897, Emperor Gaozong of Korea established the Korean Empire, but in the face of Japanese repression, the dream of the Korean Empire was finally shattered. 19 10, North Korea, or South Korea, was annexed by Japan, and even signed a humiliating Japan-South Korea merger treaty.

In the following decades, the advanced people in North Korea were suppressed in batches, and North Koreans were forced to brainwash, change their surnames and even were not allowed to speak Korean. This situation continued until Japan was defeated in World War II, and North Korea was able to breathe.

At the end of World War II, Japan became a defeated country. Does this mean that the history of Korea's colonization is over?

Actually, it is not. South Korea was divided between the Soviet Union and the United States into historical South Korea and North Korea. South of the 38th parallel is now South Korea, once ruled by the United States, and now it is still the younger brother of the United States.

North of the 38th parallel, today's Korea was taken over by the former Soviet Union to develop socialism. So in history, a country was abruptly divided into two parts, with the 38th parallel as the boundary and each holding its own side.

Through the history of North Korea, we can also understand that weak countries have no diplomacy, so they should constantly strengthen themselves. We can not bully others, but we must ensure that when others bully us, we have enough strength to fight back.
