Korean History by Subject

Description
Book Introduction
Until now, most introductory books or general books on Korean history have been encyclopedias that only list facts.
Because of this, Korean history was often considered a boring subject that had to be memorized by heart.
This book, with this critical awareness, encompasses the entirety of Korean history and provides a proper understanding of its context through 87 differentiated topics that allow readers to properly approach its true nature.
Additionally, the topics in this book are centered around facts that the general public is vaguely aware of or misunderstands, allowing for a closer look at the truth of history.
It stands out for its structure that allows people of all ages, from youth to adults, to understand Korean history based on cultural diversity and a correct view of history.
In Volume 1, the ancient section, the main issues of ancient history that are controversial even among scholars are revealed, such as the myth of a single people led by Dangun (page 26), the truth behind the theory of the succession of the Park, Seok, and Kim kings of Silla (page 58), and the illusion of the centralized system of ancient states (page 106).
Regarding modern historical wars such as China's Northeast Project (page 274) and Japan's Imna Nihonfu Theory (page 316), it refutes the claims of China and Japan based on objective and factual evidence centered on historical materials, excluding nationalist positions.
