Choson steadily expanded until it came up against the more advanced Yen, a feudal empire which governed much of northern China. At the beginning of the first century BC, China, now ruled by the Han dynasty, attacked and destroyed Choson and governed the northern part of the peninsula for the next 400 years. To the south, a number of independent rival kingdoms evolved, of which the most important was the Silla in the southeast. In alliance with the Chinese Tang dynasty, which had taken over in northern China in AD 618, the Silla defeated their competitors and created a single political entity in Korea in AD 668 for the first time. Around AD 870, a wave of rebellions broke out across Silla-controlled territory: this triggered the gradual disintegration of the Silla empire and a period of chaos in which rival forces struggled for control. The eventual victor in the early tenth century was the Koryo dynasty, once vanquished by the Silla, who allied themselves with the Song dynasty in China. The Koryo emulated the Song in establishing an advanced cultural and technological society (including the invention of printing in 1234, two centuries before its discovery in the West).

History PRIOR TO THE NATIONAL DIVISION of the Korean Peninsula in 1945, Korea was home to a people with a unitary existence, ethnic and linguistic homogeneity, and a historic bond of exclusionism towards outsidersa result of its history of invasion, influence, and fighting over its territory by larger and more powerful neighbors. This legacy continues to influence the contemporary Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK, or North Korea). There are other parallels between Korea's past and presentday North Korea. The traditions of Confucianism and a bureaucracy administered from the top-down and from the center continue to hold sway. Further, just as there was relative stability for more than two millennia on the Korean Peninsula, there has been relative stability in North Korea since Kim Il Sung came to power in 1946. As Confucian doctrine perpetuated the authority of the family system and the importance of education, so too were these elements paramount in Kim Il Sung's North Korea. Politics remain personalistic, and Kim has surrounded himself with a core of revolutionary leaders (now aging), whose loyalty dates back to their days of guerrilla resistance against the Japanese in Manchuria. Kim's chuch'e ideology also has its roots in the self-reliant philosophy of the Hermit Kingdom (as Korea was called by Westerners), and Korea's history of exclusionism also held particular appeal to a people emerging from the period of Japanese colonial domination (1910-45).

History A SMALL COUNTRY, approximately the size of Britain, Korea is located on a peninsula that protrudes southward from the northeastern corner of the Asian continent. It is an old country, whose people evolved as one nation from the seventh century until 1945, when the country was divided by the United States and the Soviet Union at the end of World War II. The ensuing cold war created two Korean governments, one in the north known as the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK), and another in the south known as the Republic of Korea (ROK). The two Koreas engaged in a bitter war between 1950 and 1953 and remained divided as of 1990, even though the two governments began talk to each other in 1971. South Korea and North Korea took distinctly different paths of development after they were divided. By 1990 North Korea had emerged as a staunch communist society, while South Korea was evolving into a liberal democracy after many years of military dictatorship. The two societies, however, shared a common tradition and culture. Origins of the Korean Nation As is true of all countries, Korea's geography was a major factor in shaping its history; geography also influenced the manner in which the inhabitants of the peninsula emerged as a people sharing the common feeling of being Koreans. The Korean Peninsula protrudes southward from the northeastern corner of the Asian continent and is surrounded on three sides by large expanses of water. Although Japan is not far from the southern tip of this landmass, in ancient times events on the peninsula were affected far more by the civilizations and political developments on the contiguous Asian continent than by those in Japan.

20. KoreaTimes : China Deletes Ancient Korea History On Web Site China Deletes Ancient Korean History on Web Site. By Yoon Wonsup Staff Reporter. China on Thursday deleted all the content on Korea s ancient history on http://times.hankooki.com/lpage/nation/200408/kt2004080515485211950.htm

Hankooki.com Korea Times Nation China Deletes Ancient Korean History on Web Site By Yoon Won-sup Staff Reporter China on Thursday deleted all the content on Korea's ancient history on its Foreign Ministry Web site despite mounting pressure from the Seoul government to correct Beijing's alleged distortion of Korean history. Seoul's Foreign Ministry conveyed disappointment to its Chinese counterpart through diplomatic channels, asserting it ignored the calls to correct the incorrect description of ancient Korea. ``The Beijing government informed us that it will remove content on ancient Korea in an introduction to Korean history on its Web site last Monday,'' Shin Bong-kil, the ministry spokesperson said. ``Today, they made the deletion.'' Shin further said that Beijing also removed the section on ancient Japan, leaving only content on Japan's post-World War II period on its Web site. China's decision was likely intended to reduce unnecessary diplomatic friction with the Seoul government, but its failure to meet the Seoul government's demand for the correction of China's alleged distortion of history regarding the ancient kingdom of Koguryo, looks to create further waves. In the Chinese Internet site (www.fmprc.gov.cn), the Korean history section now covers only Korea's modern history dating back to the establishment of its government in Aug. 15, 1948.
