Gojoseon, the first of several kingdoms in
Korea’s history. After Gojoseon perished in
BC 08, the Three Nations emerged. After
the Three Nations were united by United
Silla Kingdom and when the United Silla
was created. Goryeo Kingdom perished at
the end of the th century. For the next
00 years, the Joseon Dynasty ruled the
Korean Peninsula. Joseon was forcefully
opened to the outside world by the
Japanese in 8 and colonized by Japan

in 90. After liberalization in 9, the
Republic of Korea was founded. However,
