===Early History=== | |||
2333 BC - 108 BC: Foundation and Gojoseon Period | |||
The history of Ch'ŏndoguk begins with the legendary foundation of Gojoseon by Dangun Wanggeom in 2333 BC. According to mythology, Dangun, a demigod born from Hwanung and a bear-turned-woman, established the first Korean kingdom in what is now the Korean Peninsula. Gojoseon thrived as a Bronze Age civilization with a centralized government and developed agricultural practices. The kingdom eventually fell to the Han Dynasty of China in 108 BC, marking the beginning of the Proto-Three Kingdoms period. | |||
Three Kingdoms to Unified Silla | |||
57 BC - 668 AD: Three Kingdoms Period | |||
During the Three Kingdoms Period, the region was divided into three powerful kingdoms: Goguryeo, Baekje, and Silla. Goguryeo, founded in 37 BC, was the first to rise and dominate the northern and central parts of the peninsula and parts of Manchuria. Baekje, established in 18 BC, ruled the southwestern part, while Silla, founded in 57 BC, controlled the southeast. This era was marked by constant warfare and cultural development, including the introduction of Buddhism. | |||
668 - 935: Unified Silla | |||
In 668, the Silla Kingdom, with the help of the Tang Dynasty of China, unified the Korean Peninsula, ushering in the Unified Silla period. This era saw significant cultural and economic prosperity, with advancements in art, science, and religion. The later part of this period, however, was characterized by internal strife and rebellion. | |||
Goryeo Dynasty | |||
918 - 1392: Goryeo Dynasty | |||
The Goryeo Dynasty was established in 918 by King Taejo, unifying the Later Three Kingdoms. Goryeo, from which the modern name "Korea" is derived, is known for its achievements in ceramics, Buddhism, and the creation of the Tripitaka Koreana. The dynasty faced invasions from the Khitan, Jurchen, and Mongol empires, but maintained its sovereignty through strategic alliances and military resistance. | |||
Joseon Dynasty | |||
1392 - 1897: Joseon Dynasty | |||
The Joseon Dynasty, founded by Yi Seong-gye in 1392, is considered one of the most significant periods in Korean history. The dynasty implemented Confucian ideals, leading to significant cultural and scientific advancements. The creation of the Korean script, Hangul, by King Sejong the Great in the 15th century is one of its most notable achievements. Despite facing invasions by Japan and internal strife, Joseon maintained stability and prosperity for over five centuries. | |||
===Japanese Occupation=== | |||
1910 - 1945: Japanese Occupation | |||
In 1910, Korea was annexed by Japan, leading to a period of harsh colonial rule. The Japanese occupation saw significant industrialization and modernization, but also cultural suppression and exploitation of Korean resources and people. The March 1st Movement in 1919 was a significant event in the struggle for independence, though it was brutally suppressed by the Japanese authorities. | |||
===The Bangtan Dynasty=== | |||
People's Republic of Ch'ŏndo | |||
In the aftermath of World War II and the liberation of Korea from Japanese rule in 1948, the People's Republic of Ch'ŏndo was established, led by the Bangtan Dynasty, a socialist regime with a cult of personality centered around its leaders. | |||
The Bangtan Dynasty | |||
The Bangtan Dynasty, named after its founding leader, Bangtan Il-Sung, established a socialist state with strict control over all aspects of life. The leaders of this dynasty, known collectively as BTS, have been characterized by their authoritarian rule and the promotion of a personality cult. Key figures in the dynasty include: | |||
* Min Yoon-gi : The founding leader who established the foundations of the socialist state and initiated the Korean War (1950-1953). | |||
*Yoon Ho-Seok: He continued his predecessor's policies, focusing on military development and maintaining a rigid social structure. | |||
* Park Ji-Min: The current leader who has maintained the state's isolationist policies and strict control over the populace while attempting to modernize the economy through limited reforms. | |||
Nowadays, the People's Republic of Ch'ŏndo remains one of the most secretive and isolated countries in the world, known for its human rights abuses, strict censorship, and the perpetuation of the Bangtan Dynasty's rule. Despite international sanctions and widespread condemnation, the regime has maintained its grip on power through a combination of propaganda, military strength, and the suppression of dissent. | |||
==Geography== | |||
Chŏndoguk is located in the 38° parallel north. The relief is mostly mountainous. The highest peak is Paektusan, with 2744 m, followed by Halla-san (1947 m). | |||
