The easiest history book for those just starting to study world history!

The author, who has worked as a magazine reporter for many years and has written history books, wrote this book with the idea of ​​how young people can encounter world history in a lighthearted and fun way, going beyond the rigid and dry textbook-style structure and narrative.
These days, various shocking domestic and international incidents, such as China's "Northeast Asia Project," Japan's "historical distortion," and incorrect history education, are reawakening us to the importance of history, as we have neglected history.
But the reality is that it is not easy to rebuild a foundation that has already collapsed.
Therefore, we desperately need a history book that can be read by all ages, regardless of gender, whether young or old, and through which we can explore our roots.
That's why we've put a lot of effort into making it fun and engaging to start studying history in depth.


Many students' reactions to world history are that it is difficult and uninteresting, and that there is too much to memorize.
Many historical textbooks on the market use vocabulary and concepts that are too difficult for young people to read.
Occasionally, there are books that are easy and fun, but sometimes they stick to peripheral stories or distort history because they focus too much on excitement.
Everyone emphasizes that history is essential to know, but for young people, it is like a tall mountain far away.


"World History Through War" was created to take young people's interests, depth, and language skills into account, focusing on the 20 wars that changed world history, in order to help them approach history step by step, something they had only looked at as a mountain they could not climb out of fear.
Each chapter contains interesting reading material to help readers easily understand the impact of the war on politics and society at the time.
Historical terminology is preserved as much as possible, but simple words and sentences are used. Tips are included for difficult, unfamiliar, or parts that require explanation, and abundant visual aids such as photos and maps are included to aid understanding.

The Korean War was the first international war to occur since World War II.


The consequences of the Korean War were disastrous.
A tragedy of fratricide occurred, with people of the same ethnicity pointing guns at each other, resulting in the destruction of homes and buildings, and the death or separation of loved ones and families.
Additionally, countless people lost their lives or suffered lifelong disabilities and illnesses due to their injuries.
More than 60 years have passed since this tragedy occurred.
However, our country is the only divided nation in the world, suffering the pain of separated families who cannot see each other even if they want to, and living in anxiety amidst the ongoing war, including the infiltration of armed guerrillas in Gangneung, the sinking of the Cheonan, and the shelling of Yeonpyeong Island.
In order to properly resolve these entangled inter-Korean issues, we must properly understand the nature of the Korean War.

Today, the Korean War is known as a war waged by North Korea's Kim Il-sung with the consent of China and support from the Soviet Union in an attempt to unify the Korean Peninsula by force.
But the problem is not that simple.
The Korean War was a war that broke out due to the complex political situation between the South and the North and the ideological conflict between the communist and capitalist systems centered around the Soviet Union and the United States at the time.
This book is the first in Korea to introduce the Korean War as an international war between capitalist and communist forces.
Through this, you can learn about the Korean War objectively and accurately, regardless of ideology.
