Park Geun-hae was the daughter of Park Chung-hee the dictator @24:22
Thank you. I couldn't find a good way to put that anywhere in the video without breaking the flow.
Park Chung-hee was high rank military officer of the Imperial Japanese army stationed in china.
@@HistoryScope she's saying you said "Park Geun-hae" instead of "Park Chung-hee" in the video.
@@haedamahn7229 well... I tried :(
@@HistoryScope That's fine! :)
Never learned this in school, but really is such an important part of global history..
Agree
@@johnnycagood9013 p
Yes
Trust me as a history buff myself I'll tell you school doesn't really teach you a dam thing about history
Took the words right out my mouth as I sit here 42 and just finding out that I’m not a African nor American,The only way to learn anything is to teach yourself cause school only taught me Christopher Columbus,discovered Canada,1+1=3and Americans really went on the Jupiter 🤷🏿♂️So aye🤣🤣🤣🤣have a great day on purpose yall ,listen to your self
Literally Korea had the same struggle as my homecountry Poland. Always struggling because of stupid neighbors that are pain in the ass for centuries, while the only thing people wanted is living in peace
I actually think Korea was more like Switzerland until the 1800s. Because before that Japan was far too weak (it was historically weaker than Korea) to bother trying to conquer and due to it's geography it would be nearly impossible to fully conquer Korea from China. Even the Mongols took 40 years and 9 separate invasions to create a vassal state and not something completely under their control. However these days it's similar to Poland I agree
South Korea and Poland have huge military deals right now with each other
감사합니다.동맹국들
Poland is clealy Nato’s side. South Korea goes to which side in case of war, Chinese and Norgh Korean side, or American and Japanese side ?
Man this video is over an hour long and at the end I still thought 'it's over already?!'
Awesome video man. I learned so much that should be talked about way more
lol i watched it too and though it was just another 15min video :D haha i had no idea it was 1 hour long until i red this.. Good videos sure are captivating.
A jaw dropping and amazing documentary. As some one who has just discovered Korean culture I've found this invaluable. Thank you so much.
Sorry for the re-upload.
The previous version was only available in 360p because of a mistake with Adobe Premiere and I didn't check the video quality.
So here is the same video but in HD quality... sorry about that.
General Douglas MacArthur came out with the idea to expand the war into the north with President Truman reluctant approval because of China's response to the expansion of the war
Truman's fear was proven correct and china sends its troops to push them back. MacArthur wanted to expand the war into China but was rejected by Truman as he feared it might start ww3
MacArthur predicted that they might drop hundreds of nukes onto china. It didn't happen.
After Truman rejected the idea, MacArthur wouldn't take no for an answer, and added insult to injury took it to the press and complained about it, which resulted in Truman firing him for insubordination

My grandmother lived in North Korea, 6 months before the war she moved south, and survived the Northern occupation of Seoul. If she hadn't made that decision I probably wouldn't be writing this comment.
I'm South Korean and you made me more understandable my country's history :) Thank you, I also like watching other history videos of other countries
Damn Koreans beautiful 😍
Japan did not invade nor colonized Korean peninsula. Korea was so afraid of Russian invasion. So, Korea ASKed Japan to ANNEX the peninsula. It was approved lawfully by the International community.
Korea did not fight against Japan. Both Korean countries did not win their independence by themselves.

A U.S. Marine co-worker explained to me that the Korean written language is relatively new and that the letters indicate how the sounds are formed in the mouth. That's why there are so many "O" shapes in their alphabet. I'm curious to know if that is true.
This is true. My ex who is fluent, both in spoken and written korean (their parents are first gen), said the same thing, which was a really helpful thing to hear. Albeit confusing at first.
Indeed it is "new" (over half a millennium old) and the shape is based on the shape of the mouth/throat/tongue when making these sounds.

Whenever I get depressed I remind myself "it could be worse, I could be in North Korea, or Russia, or China, or Portland"

Portland? 😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆
I have to go back and re-watch a lot because either my depression distracted me or I had another dissociative episode. Fun times.
@@TrashDeviant that's sad, i hope you get better
I am Korean(from South). Thanks for the quite good history lesson. I am not super professional about the history. But I should say a specific error. 24:23. The name of president by military coup is “Park Jungee”. “Park Keunhae” is his daughter, president 2013-2017, who was finally impeached.
That's the one who was impeached when it came out she was a puppet for a cult right?
@@chiefwolf5079 You can say. That was kind of true, unfortunately.
@@chiefwolf5079 She was impeached, and put in jail. Luckier than her father, who was shot by a follower.

Excellent video. Especially the south Korean cultural influence. I'm a Greek living in Thessaloniki, Greece's second largest city after Athens. I decided to learn Korean because of kpop and squid game. So I registered in a local private school. I was blown away when they told me the class was full and I would have to wait the formation of another. Let it sink for a minute... Huge demand for Korean lessons in... Greece! And not in Athens.
the fact that you squeezed almost everything in in just 1 hour is amazing, I'd keep going on for at least 5 if I were to make a video about it-
Holy shit, this is such a good overview of Korea.
Just as a note, although the government DID invest in the music industry, it did not actively participate in the detailed production and "owned" the process. It kept a "aid but dont get involved" attitude. If it did, imho k-pop would have flopped early on.
But other than that, a fantastic video.
Kudos mate, keep up the good work!
-A S.Korean passing by
You should not use the word "Holy" with an evil word. Be careful what you think and say. God is watching and listening always.
44:56 "convincing message" is my favorite protest banner so far.
Really found this video to demonstrate a lot of in-detail history and how both Koreas fared after the war. Been reading on the history since 2008 and visited South Korea & the DMZ back in the early 2010s, but definitely have picked up some good knowledge from this well-produced and narrated video. Thanks again for sharing!
Thankyou. Not only informative, interesting but entertaining. The best history session I have witnessed, so far !
Dude, this is one of the best history content that talks about Korea, great job
ADA INSPECT HISTORY WKWKWK
On point. Educated. Narrated. Some triple A stuff sir ty 4 content
Lah nyasar min? Wkwkkw
True Korea or False Korea
Ya I have to agree.
Like that it’s mostly unbiased and full of information and facts.
A lot of them I kind of knew but with your extra information it made my learning better.
Thanks.
Can't wait for "Korea will be united" line in the future
If it will happen though...
I hope so too. Seriously. But I feel as though it might be trickier to unify than it was for Germany.
It's inevitable considering that both North and South Korea are at least somewhat on board with the idea in principle. The point is when? Next year? Within the next 5 years, 10, 100? It's hard to say.
Not this decade, or in two decades I would say it would be a slow gradual process taking 30-50 more years.
It shouldn't happen only a few areas close to seoul should be veded to the south and that's it
@@nitusrivastava7803 I think it should but it really is going to have to be difficult and slow. I think that for the meanwhile, they would have to focus on developing the North, then I guess that they should teach them the Seoul accent because it would help them better get the hang of things in South Korea. I also think that there should be laws preventing the exploitation of the Northerners.
Thanks for making this! There is much I didn’t know (almost all of it, actually) and so much of it is fascinating! Definitely worth watching.
Just found this channel by accident and can't stop watching the content- Really brilliant and well presented.
Thank you for this nuanced synthesis of Korean history! It's difficult to find one that is not "North Korea bad, South Korea good" out here.
Skewed takes on Korea almost feel like propaganda in itself. Not only is this guy spitting stone cold facts, he also remains respectful to the country he culturally dissects.
@@sloshed-rat skewed takes on a hermit kingdom we know little about shouldn't surprise anyone. If people don't understand you it's your fault not theirs.
@@C21H30O2 Why the hostility? Information being kept from public eye is not the fault of the individual.
Maybe it's mostly like that because there is evidence of NK being WAY WORSE than SK
@@darcy1226 and does that change the fact that they committed and still commit human rights violations?
Just like it did with Japan when it closed its country, the US also tried doing the same with Korea. In what became known as the General Sherman incident, the General Sherman entered the Taedong with goods purchased from Tientsin in 1866. They stopped at Keupsa Gate where the crew met Koreans. The Koreans refused all trade offers, but told the crew to wait at the gate while higher government officials were contacted. The captain didn't listen, and continued heading up river towards Pyongyang. The ship proceeded to attack anyone who tried to stop it. This was when it was decided to attack the ship. It was finally destroyed after being fought over for several days.
I feel like m seeing you everywhere
You know you've made it on TH-cam when Avery the Cuban leaves a comment on your videos.
Actually no, that ship and expedition was not sponsored by the government or even official unlike the Perry expedition to Japan.
@@FOLIPE But it marked the beginning of the US expedition to Korea (the first American military action in Korea). And an attempt to open Korea to American trade
I wouldn’t even compare what Korea went through with Japan AT ALL LOL cause they were almost entirely different!! Korea can be compared with Vietnam as they are brothers in more ways than arms, but most importantly: they were both split into north and south on the exact same day in 1953, at the exact same Geneva conference and both had communist north sides that were under the Soviet Union, both southern countries had the same alliance with the United States! And of course both have went through very brutal and the most important conflicts of the Cold War. japan was the only country in the Sinosphere that managed to dodge the bullet that was communism while the other three countries (China Vietnam and Korea) all had very different outcomes surprisingly. Korea remained split, China’s democratic half fled to establish Taiwan, while South Vietnam had lost and those residents fled all over the world
OMG, another great job! Thank you so much!!! ❤️
Thanks for making this video. I thought it was very comprehensive. I had alot of questions answered and lots of new and interesting facts i never knew
I probably learned more from this one video than I did in a whole year at school💀. As a foreigner that was introduced to korea through kpop and kdramas it was interesting learning how the sk gov is using the interest for those as a way to make Korea more successful(which is probably why the gov postponed bts from military duty) Also I always wondered how China made almost everything I bought at the store, I guess it makes since now😂
You learned because you wanted to and the content of video is interesting for you
@@abbfilmann3735 eh, that's not always true. I study music, and a lot of online resources that are available for free are just straight up better and more understandable than some of the uni classes I pay a shitload of money for
Also google China "special economic zone" for why everything is made there
There is no change or news regarding BTS's military enlistment
@@Lyuze You ever wonder why you are unable to understand those uni classes?
A well-presented highly educational crash course on the two Koreas thoughtfully crafted with balanced perspective.
I commend you on this impressive undertaking. Will be looking at more of your videos. Subscribed.
Excellent video.
Thanks for posting!
Thank you for sharing your perspective on both, South and North Korea, it has been a really interesting journey around history, culture, politics and I gained a thorough overview about many why and wherefore! Keep up the excellent job! 👏👏👏👏👏
Wow, thanks so much for this! It's refreshing to see a more balanced view of both nations, both the good and bad in both. I now have a newfound appreciation for Korea, on either side of the 38th parallel. 😁
That fire nation reference gave me chuckle. Thanks mate, your hard work is really appreciated.
Genuinely amazed by the lack of salty Japanese comments. Any time a history video about Japan and it’s war crimes pop up, they’re quick to defend.
From my knowledge, Japanese classrooms rarely teach about the awful things they did in colonizing Korea. (I know all countries ignore their more shameful history-other than maybe Germany-but it’s a whole new level over there.)
I respect Japan and love learning their history and and culture, not just anime lol, but they need to step up and admit they didn’t treat Korea right.
They've forgotten that Koreans brought the culture into their land, learned many things from Korean artisans including the pottery making, temple building skills, Katakana writing and so on. Their royal and aristocratic families are originally came from Korea. Japanese people seem to have this "envy and hate" feelings toward Koreans for some reason. Imagine, books that have contents on Korean hatred, seem to sell well in Japan.
現在の朝鮮人と、当時の朝鮮人は完全に民族構成が異なります。
@@notclueless8949 thats true but at least kpop is one thing a lot of japanese people enjoy
@@user-rb2hd3cp5f The origin of Japanese katakana is a method widely used in East Asia to flexibly interpret Chinese characters in their own words. it is highly likely that it was introduced from ancient Korea.
@@user-rb2hd3cp5f Of course Koreans can't read.
How can they read the script used in an ancient country 1500 years ago?
and katakana is a way to write Japanese. It is not a way to write Korean.
What I'm talking about is 'method'.
It was an additional means used by Asian countries that used Chinese characters at the time to write their own languages.
This method was introduced from Korea to Japan, and this is the origin of katakana.
In ancient Korea, this was called 'Gugyeol'.
Gugyeol also worked in the way Japan now writes Japanese. Nouns or meaningful morphemes are expressed in Chinese characters, and the particles or predicates that follow them are written using Gugyel characters.
This was brilliant. I learned so much. Thank you !
Not just east Asia, K-Drama is very popular in the Spanish speaking world namely South America as they’re a lot like our telenovelas
Really? How interesting!
Really? I thought Turkish tv series are on the wave.
Thanks for this I’m currently writing an essay about North & South Korea dividing, I still have a lot more to write but this is extremely helpful thank u!!! :)
We are here learning all of us
great video man. Kudos!
Excellent video! LEARNED SO MUCH I hadn’t a clue about!
We built our metro before Seoul, and it's way more beautiful than theirs. Gotta give props
Hey Kim Jong-Un, if you join South Korea, you get tons of resources from South Korea such as steel and food, more military and troops can be produced!!!
@@Newdivide the Peoples' Army is at the beck and call of Kim Jong un.
This is why i love youtube
All hail to our glorious Supreme Leader!
ㅅㅂ ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ존나 웃긴 컵셉충이네
I've been legitimately looking foward to this video! Keep up the great work!
This was fantastic! Thank you!
This is such a great presentation. Thanks
Your videos are absolutely amazing. So professional and well done, great job man!
K pop is literally stronger than any bomb North Korea has, oh my god
No k pop is terrible
It's trash. Moranbong band is the real thing.
K pop ❌ DPRK pop ✅
Korean army used to play Kpop songs on DMZ area with huge speaker, so that North Koreans can listen. there are soldiers who actually crossed the boarder to south Korea, because they were influenced by the songs. Now we can't play because North Korea goverment's complaining.
@no, stupid Well it depends on how they unite, if the Korea's are China friendly it would be better for humanity as a whole if they don't unite, if they're Anti-China then no one would bat an eye, hell So many countries suffering due to China would openly help the developmemt of the northern part and help unifed korea be a powerhouse if they were against China, atleast that's what I hope so as anyone sane hates China, and it should be gone, it stirs up so many problems, antagonizes so many people, commits so many crimes against humanity, amd has such treachorus diplomacy, the list goes endless.
Absolutely outstanding work!
I love this channel for its in depth long videos no other history channel does this
Dude only you would call an hour long video short, absolutely love it
THANK YOU! You taught me more about South and North Korea in one hour than anyone I know.
Thank you high class content, love it.
You make the best videos!! Thank you so much for sharing the information that you do!!!
Excellent job on this topic. I will be watching more of your work.
I never thought it would be an hour long, now i understand why it took sooo much time. Either way, great video!
Great video ! Very insightful
Thank you so much for what you do. You have no idea the massive positive effect on the world your work is having.
Keep being awesome. Keep being you.
Keep on creating!!!
May PEACE and LOVE find and keep you!!!
Cool documentary, with that excellent entertainment twist to it. Lovely made, well done mate! Really enjoyed watching it.
Glad to have the vid back! Love your content ❤️
Wow...great documentary. Thank you for posting.
Really enjoyed this. Keep up the good work 👏
This was such a great and thoughtfully made video. Thoroughly researched, it appears to be as well! Thank you for making this content. As a Korean growing up in the west, watching this makes me realize some of the freedoms I have now and the many sacrifices my parents have made (by enduring poverty, war, military dictatorships, leaving Korea, building a life elsewhere) for granted. It has been enlightening to say the least.
Such a great video? Do you really think Korea was a puppet state of China? Korea has 5000 years of standalone history and never been a part of China nor its puppet. Joseon Dynasty had its own politics, military power and the law system. Is adopting the government system and learning Confucianism making Korea a “puppet?!” Lmao It is shameful that you didn’t find it biased as a Korean-American..
@@undistortedmeans yes, Korea had their own government and culture, but we were linked to china as a weaker nation. Why do you think we used the Chinese alphabet for more than half our existence?
@@Kunfucious577 I would agree if ‘weaker country’ refers to the Joseon Dynasty, but I would say that linking the usability of Chinese characters in that way is not logical at all…
@@undistortedmeans Dude, WHAt? Korea was a vassal state to China for much of it's existence. It was "allowed" independence in return for women, gold, art, labor, etc. That's one of the reasons Koreans have a natural hatred for China let alone they are communist and preventing reunification... Learn history bro
Awesome! Well nuanced analysis. You packed so much content in just an hour. Great to see references in the description as well for further reading.
Your story telling style is also refreshing. Kept me in the flow. Thank you for making this.

24:07 that’s a really convincing message
Another extensive episode. Thanks for making this blockbuster!
WOW ! Thank, you ! Learned so much ! Such balannced well researched video !
Thank you for this great video.
Brooo. Just got off my shift. Hour long video, so so happy!
And as I said earlier and is till agree with this is the best video on this topic on TH-cam
Agreed
After the korean independence, Japan was going through hard time managing the post-war issues (war compensation, nuclear bombings)
But when Korean war broke out, US needed somewhere close to Korea to manufacture military goods and place military troops.
Japan was like : yes :)
This helped Japan a LOT get rid of post war problems and gain economic power. While both Koreans were killing each other for someting they didnt ask for.
Love these videos! Glad i found the channel, interesting background stimulus to keep me awake in college is a godsend 🙏
Dude your content is amazing keep this up!
Congratulate you on your very unbiased and factual look at North Korean history because as someone who wants to learn more about North Korea, it can be annoying to constantly only hear about it from sources that portray it as if it were 1984 in modern day. Keep up your great videos!
It …. is though?
It is lol
@@thepoorliltaxi2176 our only sources are very biased. I'd love to learn how these people live for real.
@@aidan8473 The defector’s name is Yeonmi Park and her channel is The Voice of North Korea, not only does she make her own videos but she’s been in so many different interviews and documentaries, she talks about everything from what they ate in NK to how they escaped. It’s all very fascinating.
@@thepoorliltaxi2176 The problem is they're incentivised to come up with ever more outlandish stories to get more interviews. You'd hardly draw a crowd by saying "Well yeah the situation was pretty shit" as compared to "They made us literally eat babies"
Also it should be obvious that an escapee from a Nation would have biased opinions. Go ask starving poors what they think of their country. While they're opinions are valid in their own right, I'd hesitate to call it unbiased.
When talking about the history of ancient Korea from a Western perspective, it will be difficult to catch the hidden role of Korea in East Asia. East Asian aesthetics or soft power has always played an important role in Korea. Were the ruling classes of the Mongol Empire or the Qing Empire really Chinese? They respected Korea, and their family tried to find a connection to Korea's origins.
great video! more power to you!
Love your videos. Well done!
Great job loved every bit just wish it was longer lol
Great video man, ceep the good work!!!
Just found this channel today and I all ready love it since I love history..
Keep it up for I will keep watching..😉
Great video man. I was stationed there for a year back in 2010-2011. Loved Korea. South Korea best Korea, but I wish peace and unity for all of the Korean people.
Awesome video! Pretty accurate historically
This was really well done!
Wow and wow! I'm amazed at how many exceptional videos you have created. You make them easy to understand and full of information. Great job! We are grateful to be privy to so much information! Thank you!

non condemning, leaving the viewer feeling a sense of open mindedness, and much inform.

Everyone:tianmen square
The Koreans who dies protesting aginst the USA : Am I joke to you?
Sadly, not many people outside of Korea know about the protests.
are you talking about the grwanju uprising
The key difference here is that the Korean protestors were ultimately successful whereas the Chinese protestors were not.
@@L3monsta I think the point is US won't hesitate to continuously shake the ghost of tianmen about how bad Communism or China is for their hundreds or possibly thousand killed while actively ignoring the tens of thousands they killed to keep and settle their own dominant position.
@@Arag0n the difference is China claims it didn't happen and if it did, they deserved it, while the US just does their best to look the other way or call the people doing it bad actors. Although no 2 situations are the same, neither is good and citing atrocities shouldn't be used in bad-faith arguments.
I love studying the Asian nations, and this is a wonderful study! Heck, I watch only Asian, primarily Korean dramas. Never watch American, and am actually
A Korean, Mandarin & Japanese language student. Your history presentation has been the best I've read, a continuous chronological account of how it has all come about.
Wait you are studying three languages at the same time? That’s insane
Don’t romanticize it buddy, life is not so great in Korea….
okay weeb
This is such a brilliant video. I'm a university student studying east Asian history and this has helped me alot in understanding my subjects. Thank you for your hard work 🎉
Great video. Thank you
This was fascinating. As Westerners, we lack solid education on the east. Thank you, this has elucidated a lot for me
a very amazing educative video i love it .nice history of Korean history
HISTORY SCOPE is my favourite scope----I always learn so much. Thanks for the Headsful! cheers
I particularly liked the DMZ becoming an ecological preserve. A very nice lift-Thanks!
Helpful video..keep up the good work 👍
I spent 3 different decades in Korea. One year I lived under Martial Law the entire time, because they shot the South Korean President. His daughter latter became the 1st Female President of South Korea. My final assignment was in the former Japanese War Headquarters in Seoul, Korea. Living in Seoul was my ultimate favorite assignment of all assignments. I would like to thank Chung Hee who became my BFF & guide in Seoul. She went to live in Australia, I returned to the USA. I am a Career Female Soldier and love documentaries. Thank you for this video.
o!o lick it
@Bolt92* The prior assignments were not a thrill and being forced to extend or career ending was not a pleasant experience. The ones after me, who were asked to extend to get more money, I did not get that choice or money. It took the worst assignments and interviews to get Seoul. It was not handed to me on a silver platter like most.
Just wait for the north korea assignment
Amazing video and filled in a few gaps I had in regards to certain years right after Japanese occupation and the Korean Was and the Korean war and it's efforts for democratisation in the 80s. I really like how neutral your video was in regards to NK and I also really enjoyed how you explain harder concepts in a simple way, e.g. when you explained state capitalism and the subsequent economic models that Korea adopted. Thank you for this! Highly educational and yet still entertaining.
Thank you for this video helped with my research a lot
What a great documentary!! Easy to follow
I have always been fascinated by the DPRK, not sure why. You taught me many things I did not know with this video. I now have a much better understanding of Korean culture. Thanks so much for the effort. Great work!
I just clicked on video,i thought it was uploaded years ago,now i see its made today.Yay,Good content for an hour!
I love your channel, so good!!!
