Course Introduction
The Hideyoshi Invasion of 1592 and the Second Manch Invasion of 1636, both of which broke out in East Asia, had a profound impact on Joseon and its surrounding countries. This course examines the historical significance of both wars in the context of the evolving international order in East Asia and explore the political, social, and cultural changes that have appeared in Joseon society on the Korean Peninsula after the war. By looking at the historical war that occurred on the Korean Peninsula in the 17th century, students can understand the international order in East Asia at that time and compare it with the world order and international relations we are experiencing today. Through this process, we aim to gain a new perspective on the complex and diverse historical flow of East Asia, focusing on the historical momentum of war and the ever changing international relations.
