A 101-day tour of Korean history without a map

Description

We are taking a new and three-dimensional look at our history from different angles.

We are asking the question of whether what we know is true from a different perspective. For example, we are asking questions such as whether Baekje was really a small country, why even pro-Japanese scholars underestimated Baekje after liberation, and whether the debauched life of the last King Uija was the cause of Baekje's fall.

The meaning of history is explained by dividing it into four groups rather than chronological order.

It is not simply a chronological listing of history according to the flow of time, but is divided into four meanings. ‘The story of the people who founded the country and its name’ is about the founding of the country and its founding rulers, ‘Korean history viewed with curiosity’ covers content that may be curious, and ‘Events that changed the flow of history’ has a great impact in many ways. The events that took place were explained, and 'Reform and Revolution, and Rebellion and War' deals with the story of rough conflicts in history.

It covers from Dangun to Goguryeo, Baekje, Silla, Balhae, Goryeo, Joseon, and the Japanese colonial period.

It makes it easy to think about the history from the beginning of our people to the Korean War in 1950 in a single volume. It will be an opportunity to fill in and think about our history while looking at it from a larger perspective.
