Japan: *sends 300 ships* Admiral Yi Sun Shin: Summon the TURTLE.

[@Xentradi97]

He fought 300+ ships without the Turtle ship. Turtle ship was destroyed prior to that battle by inept Generals who took over Yi's command while he was imprisoned for disobeying idiot King's order that'd have jeopardized his fleet.

[@hayek218]

The truth is that he was merely a commander, not an admiral; only temporality cut off logistics; killed no samurai commander; gave a mastery of the sea to the Japanese; allowed them to land and capture the prince; attacked the Japanese from the back after ceasefire; was killed by the Japanese in the battle.

[@SAOin-np1np]

@Zero64 It’s not really that odd. Portugal for example always fought outnumbered and won. Some examples: Battle of Aljubarrota: 6.600 Portuguese knights vs 31.000 Spaniards; Battle of Tiger’s mouth in China: 3-6 ships vs 300-700 ships; Battle of Cochin 500 + 5 ships vs 70.000-80.000 + 260 vessels.

[@SAOin-np1np]

Note to say that the Portuguese Armada was once the strongest in the world. A single ship was a floating fortress with the strength of 100 ottoman/indian/chinese ships. The strongest galleon in the 16th century was a Portuguese ship named “Botafogo” (Spitfire) that had roughly 400 canons onboard.

I've been training in taekwondo for 35 years, and I figured I should be familiar with the country from which my art arose. This was a terrific primer. Thanks.

[@seungjunrhee]

BTW I'm a Korean, and seeing that you are interested in Taekwondo and Korean history, I thought you might be interested in this fact: Contrary to what most Koreans think, Taekwondo is actually a modern Korean reinterpretation of Karate, which came from the Okinawa region of Japan. (Which still does not mean the two are the same, though! Taekwondo is still our national sport.) Traditional Korean martial arts are things like Gungdo (Korean archery), Ssireum (Korean wrestling), and Taekkyeon (rhythmic wrestling? idk how to describe this one).

[@strongtowersystems]

Techniques from traditional Korean martial arts, such as tae kwon do and subak, are incorporated into taekwondo. Although early taekwondo was influenced by karate, modern taekwondo is connected to ancient Korean martial arts through the rediscovery of ancient traditional martial arts. Modern taekwondo is a very different martial art from karate, with a traditional Korean flavor, and according to Professor Kimmo Rauhala's thesis, 70% of the techniques are kicks, and these kicks are unique to the art. If you watch this video from the 1962 Korean Taekwondo Championships, you'll see that the fighting style is very different from karate.

[@shinshinshin9043]

@strongtowersystems so many different versions of viewpoints about the influence of Karate on Taekwondo. But to be honest almost all modern concepts were introduced into Korea while the Japanese were illegally occupying the Korean Peninsula. So many new concepts were first introduced from the west getting through the viewpoints of the Japanese, like the university, bank, philosophy and sports. In Korea we did have some traditional forms of fighting methods called in different names but they had just techniques without any modern administrative bodies. The doing was a new concept introduced from Japan. Wearing the same uniforms being taught from masters were actually new to everybody in Asia, invented in the wave of the modernization imitating the western sport bodies in the sense that anybody can be taught paying the tuition. Importing the administrative bodies from karate or judo dojangs Koreans set up their own dojangs in various names of martial arts. Some came to try to unify all those different martial arts proclaiming their own authenticities and traditionalities. It was in 1950s that the national committee of establishing appellation of the unified martial art was set up comprising important figures representing the Korean society. They came to agree on the new name of Taekwondo, representing the spirits of succeeding the traditional martial art of Taekyyon. Many of them had experienced the Karate, exchanging the technical skills there, importing the dojang system along with Dan degree system. Some had no contact with Karate. One of them was Whang ki , the founder of Muduck Kwan dojang. He said in his book my technical basis is taekkyyn but it has no systemic framework so now I establish it. He said he combined all the martial arts from Manchuria and the Korean Peninsula. Manchuria had been Koreans' cultural territories for thousands of years. He was public official of the Korean railroad authorities , opening the dojaing in front of Seoul station. 70 % of taekwondoists up until 1980s were from Mudouck dojang. Another was Choi Honghee, a founder of Odokwan or Chongdokwan. He learned Karate in Japan and imported the system vehemently actually introducing the appllation of Taekwondo. What is funny is so many new martial art purists in Korea are actually forming dojonag systems importing dandegree systems repeating the same job Taekwondo did 100 years ago criticizing Taekwondo has the origin of Karate and claiming they are pure traditional martial artists.

[@augusthayek231]

Yi Sun-sin: Even though Korean wants to include Yi Sun-sin (李舜臣) as one of the three Greatest Admirals of the world, Horatio Nelson of the Britain who prevailed in the Battle of Trafalgar, John Paul Jones of the America who defeated the British for its independence, and Heihachiro Togo of Japan who defeated the Russia’s Baltic Fleet, he was not even a supreme commander, nor did he prevail in the battle that Koreans claim to have won. To start with, throughout their history, Korea was the weakest in the region. Since the time of Yuan Dynasty, Korea had been a tribunary state of China for almost one thousand years. They always asked other countries to fight for Korea’s domestic issues like in the Korean War, and this is why they have no true national hero. Yi Sun-sin was merely a commander of a fleet out of many Joseon fleets, certainly not the admiral or the commander of the Ming-Joseon Navy. Not only he failed to defeat the Japanese navy, he could not prevent them on the sea, allowing them to land on the Korean Peninsula. Japan at the time was the hay days of samurai and had the largest number of guns in the world with many experienced samurai in communications and modern battle tactics of the day. Korea on the other hand was merely a tribunary state of Ming with NO guns. There is no way Korean could beat Japan by itself. In fact, in the first dispatch, Japan conquered Seoul within one month, and Pyeongyang within two months capturing the princes of Joseon as a hostage while there was NO Japanese commander killed except for one who was assassinated during hawking. The only military exploit that Yi Sun-sin had against Japan was when he attacked “a supply fleet” and temporally cut off its supply route. But this is by no means being destroyed or defeated. His strategies were more like those of pirates or guerrillas, setting fire on ships at night or attacking from the back of Japanese fleets after agreeing on cease-fire. Coward and so typical of the weak. Later, since the military leader of Japan, Hideyoshi, who planned to conquer China through Korea, died of old age in Osaka, Japan agreed on cease-fire and retreated. It is a blatant lie for Koreans to say that Yi Sun-sin was a great admiral of the world, defeated the Japanese navy, and is the one from whom the world’s other admirals learn from. However, you could say that he had some brain, avoiding front-to-front battle with the mighty Japan.

[@augusthayek231]

Korean History: When you talk about Korean history, the first thing you have to know is that almost no present day Korean can read their true official history since they cannot read Chinese characters in which their entire history was written. The second thing is that Koreans did not leave much of written history and their first written official history book, Samguk Sagi, was only written in the 12th century. But even then, they do not refer to it much because there are so many shameful things written such as the kings of Silla were Japanese from Japan. The third thing is that their history was “created” AFTER the WWII by South Korea when its independence was given by the US. There was urgent need to create its “history” to give the Government the legitimacy and to promote national pride to fight in the Korean War. Thus it had to be patriotic. So what they do is to cherry pick some points from ancient Chinese and Japanese documents and filled the gaps with fantasies. No Koreans read their original. Nobody can even CHECK who is telling the truth. And they can only regurgitate the fabrications that their Government blatantly cocks up in order to hide the shameful part of their history including Jumong, Gojoseon and Goguryeo were not Korean but only conquered a part of Korea; the kings of Silla were Japanese from Japan; since the time of Yuan Dynasty, the Korean Peninsula was dependency of China for almost one thousand years; Korea was so poor and hopeless that their ancestors asked Japan to annex and modernize; the independence of South Korea was not fought for, but it was given by the US. The truth is that the countries that existed in the Korean Peninsula were always weak since its soil is poor; weather is not favorable for crops; and there is not much resources. You can read books written by westerners who visited the Peninsula before the Japanese annexation. There are at least a half dozen of them with the most famous one being "Korea and Her Neighbors" by an English traveler, Isabella Bird. She says that Seoul was the dirtiest and smelliest place on Earth, and even in the main streets there were not cultural things like restaurants, tea houses, theaters, or even shops. So just about everything you read and see about Korea’s history, that were “created" after the War and written not in Chinese but in Hangul (thus in English) such as Korean dramas, Wikipedia, recent history books, are all fabrications. South Korea even has a government body, the National Branding Council, to promote these fabrications by stealing other country’s history and cultures to gain the “soft power” for their economical profits. Their academics, corporations and public are all in this game led by the Government. Several years ago, in response to China's and Korean's claims on Japan's history education, Stanford Uni. conducted research on the history education of five countries: China, Japan, Korea, Taiwan and USA. They concluded that the history taught in Japan was the fairest; in China, propaganda; in Korea, fantasy. Traditionally, being sandwiched by strong dynasties and countries such as Mongols, Chinese, Russians and Japanese, throughout its history, the weak and poor Koreans always had to lie, deceive and betray for their survival. Lies and fabrications have always been a part of their history, tradition and culture. This is what Koreans say about themselves: according to the main editorial by the Chief Editor of Choson Ilbo, the biggest newspaper in South Korea, on Mar 6, 2012, Feb. 2, 2010 and Feb. 13, 2003, "Koreans lie as if they breathe” and “Koreans are the world’s biggest liar of all." Korea has the highest fraud rate and is the only country whose fraud rate exceeds that of robbery in OECD. Also, all of perjury, calumny and fraud rates in South Korea are some 160-670 times higher than those of Japan.

Let me add a bit more detail. "Admiral" Yi Sun-Shin was originally an army "General". In the Chosun Dynasty, there was no distinction between the army (Yook-Goon) and the navy (Soo-Goon), but they were mingled together. In his early career, Yi Sun-shin had fought well as an army general in the northern territory and after he was assigned to be a Soo-Goon commander in Chola-Province, he started to build his fleet including the turtle ships and invented his naval tactics that were used successfully against the Japanese invading force. This integrity enabled him to win an impossible battle of 13 vs 300 ships later.

But they're NOT. does America was always super power in the world from the beginning? No. same as Japan. 2. Go-jo-seon dynasty was started at northern part of China. Not Pyeong-yang. but surely they move to Pyeong-yang. 3. Kingdom of Go-gu-ryeo was not started in Pyeong-yang either. they started at Jilin province of nowdays China. 4. Kingdom of Yamato was basically small country which does not include whole of japan. so trade with japan has NOT that dramatic impact on Koreans. however trade with Korea and China benefits alot to Japan. so they switch their main material from STONE to IRON. 5. Wang-gun who founded Kingdom of Goryeo was not focused on Japan or China. in that time, China was devided as well as Japan too. just stop this nonsense already. I stop watching this video at this point. there is so many errors in here. I can literally write a paper about this. Korea has crucial role in Asian history.

Korean History: When you talk about Korean history, the first thing you have to know is that almost no present day Korean can read their true official history since they cannot read Chinese characters in which their entire history was written. The second thing is that Koreans did not leave much of written history and their first written official history book, Samguk Sagi, was only written in the 12th century. But even then, they do not refer to it much because there are so many shameful things written such as the kings of Silla were Japanese from Japan. The third thing is that their history was “created” AFTER the WWII by South Korea when its independence was given by the US. There was urgent need to create its “history” to give the Government the legitimacy and to promote national pride to fight in the Korean War. Thus it had to be patriotic. So what they do is to cherry pick some points from ancient Chinese and Japanese documents and filled the gaps with fantasies. No Koreans read their original. Nobody can even CHECK who is telling the truth. And they can only regurgitate the fabrications that their Government blatantly cocks up in order to hide the shameful part of their history including Jumong, Gojoseon and Goguryeo were not Korean but only conquered a part of Korea; the kings of Silla were Japanese from Japan; since the time of Yuan Dynasty, the Korean Peninsula was dependency of China for almost one thousand years; Korea was so poor and hopeless that their ancestors asked Japan to annex and modernize; the independence of South Korea was not fought for, but it was given by the US. The truth is that the countries that existed in the Korean Peninsula were always weak since its soil is poor; weather is not favorable for crops; and there is not much resources. You can read books written by westerners who visited the Peninsula before the Japanese annexation. There are at least a half dozen of them with the most famous one being "Korea and Her Neighbors" by an English traveler, Isabella Bird. She says that Seoul was the dirtiest and smelliest place on Earth, and even in the main streets there were not cultural things like restaurants, tea houses, theaters, or even shops. So just about everything you read and see about Korea’s history, that were “created" after the War and written not in Chinese but in Hangul (thus in English) such as Korean dramas, Wikipedia, recent history books, are all fabrications. South Korea even has a government body, the National Branding Council, to promote these fabrications by stealing other country’s history and cultures to gain the “soft power” for their economical profits. Their academics, corporations and public are all in this game led by the Government. Several years ago, in response to China's and Korean's claims on Japan's history education, Stanford Uni. conducted research on the history education of five countries: China, Japan, Korea, Taiwan and USA. They concluded that the history taught in Japan was the fairest; in China, propaganda; in Korea, fantasy. Traditionally, being sandwiched by strong dynasties and countries such as Mongols, Chinese, Russians and Japanese, throughout its history, the weak and poor Koreans always had to lie, deceive and betray for their survival. Lies and fabrications have always been a part of their history, tradition and culture. This is what Koreans say about themselves: according to the main editorial by the Chief Editor of Choson Ilbo, the biggest newspaper in South Korea, on Mar 6, 2012, Feb. 2, 2010 and Feb. 13, 2003, "Koreans lie as if they breathe” and “Koreans are the world’s biggest liar of all." Korea has the highest fraud rate and is the only country whose fraud rate exceeds that of robbery in OECD. Also, all of perjury, calumny and fraud rates in South Korea are some 160-670 times higher than those of Japan.

This video is actually pretty bad, falling short of Caspian Report's usually excellent standards. I am not even halfway through and I already note two major errors. 1. Wang Gun, the founder of the Goryeo dynasty, did NOT establish an understanding with the Japanese in order to reunite the Korean peninsula. Japan at the time was in chronic turmoil under the ineffectual rule of Heian emperors, and was in no position to intervene in foreign states. 2. Wang Gun did not get the name of "Goryeo" from nowhere. He and his northern noble supporters considered themselves part of the ancient Goguryeo, who had shortened their name to Goryeo sometime in the 5th century AD. From Wang Gun's perspective, he was merely establishing the rightful rule of Goguryeo/Goryeo over the Korean peninsula. This is really important because numerous Manchurian dynasties could have, and did try to, claim Goguryeo heritage, but in the end Koreans got it due to Goryeo. Kinda disappointed by the quality of this video, to be honest.

hydrolito It is true that Japan stopped Mongolia, but Korea also surrendered after fighting for 40 years with Mongolia. Those who do not know well know that Korea was immediately occupied by Mongolia. At that time, Korea (the Goryeo Dynasty) fought a terrible war with Mongolia for 40 years. Because of the island nature of Japan, Mongolia could not use the tactics of being driven by horsemen, which is their advantage, and Japan was able to defend to some extent because they had to fight the landing war by ship. Historically, Korea survived thousands of years of invasion by the nomadic dynasties of China and the north, whereas Japan lived well among themselves without foreign invasion thanks to its geographical advantage. Mongolia stabbed Japan several times, Japan luckily won several battles, and the Mongolian fleet was seriously damaged by a typhoon. Mongolia just withdrew without feeling the value of putting much effort into Japan. This is because Mongolia has nothing to gain by occupying that island. But the Japanese are proud of it that they have defeated the strongest Mongolia on their own. In that regard, compared to Japan, which won several battles, is Korea the strongest country that has fought against Mongolia for 40 years? Korea surrendered because the entire country was burned by the war for 40 years and the people could not stand suffering anymore. I do not know why, but Mongolia did not destroy Korea, which resisted them.

I seriously don't get why Koreans and Chinese have developed such resentment against each other. Korea's worst nightmares were not Chinese (that is, ethnic Hans) or Japan. They have been for several times but the real threats were the northern tribes which were nightmares for Hans as well. First, Xianbei almost destroyed both Buyeo and Goguryeo (especially the Muong Xianbei) and became significant threats to many Hans dynasty in the south, then Khitan devastated Balhae and Goryeo and Song Empire. After this, Jurchens came and they fought both Goryeo and Song consequently. The Mongols came after this (and you know what happened.) The reason Joseon sticked so much close to China is because they feared that the Jurchens still lurking in the Southern Manchuria region might get strong again and invade them. (Which they did) The only times in history where Korea and Hans came directly into conflict is Gojoseon-Yan War in the late 4th century BC, Gojoseo-Han War in the 109~108 BC, Goguryeo-Sui, Tang War (this can be controversial as well since Tang had an alliance with another Korean kingdom Silla) and Tang-Silla war (which both countries reconcilled with each other right after the war).

The Baekje, Silla, Gaya weren't rebel states of Goguryeo; they started from uniting cheifdoms that existed under influence of Joseon(Early Joseon). Silla wasn't in a position that had to balance out China and Japan; Japan was pretty much irrelevant to the outer world until 16th century as they were disunited and behind in military tech. Silla's main military concerns were Balhae(Korean kingdom that everyone forgets to mention) and Goryeo's main military concerns were northern nomadic peoples of manchus/turks/mongols, Japanese pirates(waku), and China. Japan grew far stronger than Korea in their warring states period in 15th century.

Bi Sheng's original movable type is gone (way before the cultural revolution). However, the technology persisted and spread across East and Central Asia for the next 500 years. When the Jesuits visited China from 1600-1800 AD, they were impressed by the efficiency of China's printing presses. Printing presses in East Asia were less mechanized compared to Gutenburg's press. We don't press the type on the paper. Instead we press the paper on the type.

Soon Koreans established their own regime and occupied liaodong peninsula(which was de jure of Korea at that time) having political struggle with Ming over suzerainity of Jurchen tribes, Muromachi bakufu began to collapse; eventually leading to 100 years of internal struggle(Senkoku jidai) so they weren't a problem as a nation(except wokou pirates raided the coastline resident of Ming and Joseon).

Korea, which was dominated by the dynasty of the day, monopolized the wealth of the poor Korean with a slight privilege class. The Korean citizens lived in a straw climbing roof, education, medical care and social systems were the poorest countries. The king of Korea was unable to suppress the rebellion of large farmers in Korea that occurred at the time. Then the king asked Japan and China to send troops to Korea.

[@JJang-hs1up]

The name of Korea comes from Goguryeo (BC 37 or 3rd century - AD 668), the name of which had been later changed by its king into Goryeo, or/and Goguryeo was sometimes called Goryeo, even before Silla unified three kingdoms(Goguryeo, Baekje[BC 18 - AD 660], smaller Silla[BC 57-AD 676]). Some rulers of Goguryeo founded Balhae after the fall of Goguryeo, claiming it to be a successor of Goguryeo. Goguryeo or the "first" Goryeo originated from Buyeo, and Buyeo was founded at the place of Go-Joseon. "Old" Joseon or Go-Joseon was the first Korean kingdom and its name was just "Joseon" at its time, but for distinguishing from "later"/"Yi" Joseon, it is now called "Go(=old)-Joseon". Baekje came from the royal family of Goguryeo. When greater/unified Silla (AD 676 - 935) weakened later, "new" Goryeo replaced the unified Silla, claiming that the new royal court succeeded "old" Goryeo (i.e., Goguryeo). "New" Goryeo (AD 918-1392) was a trade country where even muslim merchants came for businesses from the Middle East and its name was known to foreign countries as "Core", "Corea", and current "Korea" etc. "Yi" Joseon (1392-1897)replaced "new" Goryeo, with the same name of the "old" Joseon kingdom. Sum: Go("old")-Joseon->Buyeo->three kingdoms->greater Silla (+ Balhae in the North, which also claimed to succeed the fallen Goguryeo, but when Balhae fell later, its rulers were accepted by "new" Goryeo)-> "new" Goryeo -> "Yi" Joseon or just Joseon -> 20th century history of colonialism(1910-1945), provisional government (1919-45), division into north/south Koreas(1945-), Korean republic-building (1948-), and war in 1950-3, and now.

ADMIRAL YI 💖 💖 💖!!!

[@augusthayek231]

Yi Sun-sin: Even though Korean wants to include Yi Sun-sin (李舜臣) as one of the three Greatest Admirals of the world, Horatio Nelson of the Britain who prevailed in the Battle of Trafalgar, John Paul Jones of the America who defeated the British for its independence, and Heihachiro Togo of Japan who defeated the Russia’s Baltic Fleet, he was not even a supreme commander, nor did he prevail in the battle that Koreans claim to have won. To start with, throughout their history, Korea was the weakest in the region. Since the time of Yuan Dynasty, Korea had been a tribunary state of China for almost one thousand years. They always asked other countries to fight for Korea’s domestic issues like in the Korean War, and this is why they have no true national hero. Yi Sun-sin was merely a commander of a fleet out of many Joseon fleets, certainly not the admiral or the commander of the Ming-Joseon Navy. Not only he failed to defeat the Japanese navy, he could not prevent them on the sea, allowing them to land on the Korean Peninsula. Japan at the time was the hay days of samurai and had the largest number of guns in the world with many experienced samurai in communications and modern battle tactics of the day. Korea on the other hand was merely a tribunary state of Ming with NO guns. There is no way Korean could beat Japan by itself. In fact, in the first dispatch, Japan conquered Seoul within one month, and Pyeongyang within two months capturing the princes of Joseon as a hostage while there was NO Japanese commander killed except for one who was assassinated during hawking. The only military exploit that Yi Sun-sin had against Japan was when he attacked “a supply fleet” and temporally cut off its supply route. But this is by no means being destroyed or defeated. His strategies were more like those of pirates or guerrillas, setting fire on ships at night or attacking from the back of Japanese fleets after agreeing on cease-fire. Coward and so typical of the weak. Later, since the military leader of Japan, Hideyoshi, who planned to conquer China through Korea, died of old age in Osaka, Japan agreed on cease-fire and retreated. It is a blatant lie for Koreans to say that Yi Sun-sin was a great admiral of the world, defeated the Japanese navy, and is the one from whom the world’s other admirals learn from. However, you could say that he had some brain, avoiding front-to-front battle with the mighty Japan.

Admiral Yi Sun Shin wasn't well known when he was still alive even after winning the battle in the sea. His king were afraid that people will love Admiral more than him so he made sure Admiral Yi Sun Shin will be put on his place. But centuries later, his legacy was still remembered and even Japanese people know him very well. Foreigners know Admiral Yi Sun Shin more than Korean which is quite shocking. Truth hurts but now, Korean people acknowledge all his work and legacy. His patriotism will forever be remembered even the highest heavens are amazed by his mindset. Watch the movie about him guys.

A lot of people are mistaken. It was only a few centuries ago that Japan became a powerful country in Asia. The invasion of Korea by Japan is a recent event compared to Korea's long history. Comparing Korea and Japan without knowing the history properly is like a man who has never masturbated himself LUL

[@lupimali9504]

LOL ... not so. The Book of Sui (隋書), one of the official Twenty-Four Histories of imperial China, says as follows: "Both Shilla and Baekje revered Wa (i.e.ancient Japan) as a superpower with a plenty of rare and precious things. Therefore, they would often send their envoys to Wa respectively." This Chinese official book was compiled from 636 to 656. Also, The Gwanggaeto Stele says, "Originally, Shilla together with Baekje had long been vassal states of Goguryeo, and paid tributes to her. Still, Wa crossed the water to defeat Shilla, Baekje and Gaya. Thenceforth, Wa made them its subject nations." According to the inscription of the stele, this happened in 391. As for the Gwanggaeto Stele, stupid Koreans would frequently assert that the inscription of the Stele was deliberately altered by a Japanese lieutenant named Kageaki Sako, since an ignorant Korean scholar groundlessly accused the inscription of being fake by making something out of nothing (this is the usual way of Koreans). However, in the year 2002, a Chinese researcher (徐建新) testified to the fact that lieutenant Sako's rubbing thoroughly corresponded to the transcription of the Stele which had been preserved in Beijing, China. Thus, Japan had subordinated Korea since 4th century, if not earlier.

12:12 Chinese in disarray from the Japanese invasion? I am sorry, but how can anyone be that DENSE to come up with a conclusion like that? The Imijin War saw Ming send only 48,000 men during the 1st invasion and 72,000 during the 2nd. With a loss of only 32,000 in total. Meanwhile the Ming had station 200,000 troops at the Northern and Western frontier to protect against the Mongols. After the Imijin war China would be ravaged by plague, a little ice-age that saw crop failure and later famine and natural disasters that sparked rebellion. Seeing the country slowing falling apart with Li Zicheng capturing Beijing and the Emperor committing suicide. This in turn allowed the Manchu to be invited in to avenge the Ming Emperor. After analyzing all these problems, anyone who come to the conclusion "obviously Ming was weakened by Japanese invasion" has to be a complete idiot! A lot of other errors too which degrade the quality of the video. The video could have been much better researched and be of actual value but now it serves for the most mixing misinformation with a few historical accurate facts.

Yes. Ming did play a significant role in the war especially providing Joseon with tons of rice which were technically a life line that Wanli Emperor gave for free. Which is one of the reason why Koreans worshipped Wanli as god even hunderes of year after Ming Empire collapsed even when Qing warned them to knock the past off. Also, as a Korean, I have to say to Chinese, don't believe that all those anti-Chinese Korean trolls you see in the internet are the views of the general public. I know you guys are fed up with those trolls who claim gibberish stuff like Korea being the found of world civilization. But it's internet bro. What more can you expect?
