"Sir you've been in a coma since 1948" "Oh boy I can't wait to cross the 38th parallel to see my neighbours again.' "Yeah about that..."

In Korea's 5,000-year history, there have been two periods of colonial rule. First, domination by the Mongol Empire, and second, colonial rule by a modern nation called the Japanese Empire. One of the reasons for surviving these two dominations and even after bordering and going to war with a huge group called the Chinese civilization was the unique topography of the Korean Peninsula. there is. The distribution of mountain ranges and ridges on the Korean Peninsula is an extremely difficult obstacle for an invader to dominate. Korea's ancestors built forts along the mountain ranges, held sit-ins, and continued to engage in resistance and guerrilla warfare. Because of the fierce resistance, they were able to preserve their culture by building a nation-state that still maintains its own culture.

I feel tragedy of Korean people well. Hopefully they will be united into one country. Koreans are really tough people. Love from Poland.

interesting fact: The name Goryeo(Koryŏ), a shortened form of Goguryeo(Koguryŏ), was adopted as the official name in the 5th century, and is the origin of the English name "Korea"

My grandfather fought for South Korea in the Korean War as a medic. He understandably refuses to talk about what he experienced there. Now I get to peacefully live and work here thanks to his sacrifice.

Love to all Koreans from America! I’m acutely trying to start learning Korean, and might go to South Korea at some point.

Koreans must always be strong to avoid invasion by neighboring countries.

Holy s**t you have no idea how happy I am that you did the history of Korea. (Me being Korean) How rare is this?! Love your animated histories btw 😁😁👏👏

Korea in the 900 has a very sad history. It is truly amazing that after so much suffering, today it is one of the richest countries in the world. Much love from Italy 🇮🇹

On the way home from work, felt like learning about a countries history and found this video. Kept me engaged throughout and now probably gonna binge your videos 😂

I travelled to South Korea before covid-19 and the country is so beautiful. Their transportation system shocked me is cheap and good, most of all very clean compared to New York city's disgusting subways lol. Their food is delicious and in many cases interesting like kimchi, it took me a little but I really enjoy eating it. They love spicy foods. Chicken and Coffee shops everywhere! Really want to go there again

It is such an honor to have those warm comments from many other countries. Seems that the world is not that cold than expected :) Have a nice day good friends, Love you all.

As a Korean, I would like to pay huge gratitude for your efforts on making this video. Although understanding about other countries' history is very difficult due to the language barrier, you showed deep and thorough knowledge for Korean history.

I'm half Korean and was raised in the U.S. I know so little about my ancestry but I can't help but feel so much pride in seeing a culture thrive despite being in the middle of a tug-of-war since its development.

Love to all Koreans from Germany

Much love to the Koreans from Turkey! The history from 1892 onwards is sad :/ I hope Korea reunites soon!

This is fantastic! Hilarious dr. Silla joke, interesting commentary on linguistic usefulness of phonetic Hangul, in-depth historical timeline -SUBSCRIBED👏🏻

I currently live in South Korea (originally coming from London) and this video really helped me to understand the country more! I've always wanted to learn more about different country's histories and this video made it so easy to follow! Thank you so much!
