I am sorry, but this is the worst of your video.
It is full of Korean propaganda. If you do not want to embarrass yourself, I suggest you to take this off.
You are USED in their national move to steal other country's history by the National Branding Committee.
To start with, Gogreyo 高句麗 is not a Korean country, but it is merely other race occupying the northern part of Korean Peninsula. You explained it the other way around. The ruling class was Jurchens (later Manchurian) and/or Xianbei, and Koreans were the subject race. What you are saying is like after the Germany's retreat, Polish is claiming Germany is a part of Poland.
Also, Admiral Yi, lost the War against Japan and was killed in the battle even though Korean together with Ming had a huge advantage in number of ships.
Korean history is full of lies and fabrications that you always have to check primary source evidences. But almost no Korean today can read them as they are all written in Chinese characters. Even when they can, nobody reads them as their true official history is so miserable.
This is what their biggest newspaper says 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 S Korea are some 160-670 times higher than those of Japan.

@니키NIKI 니키 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 WWII by South Korea when its independence was given by the US. There was an urgent need to create its “history” to give the Government legitimacy and to promote national pride to fight in the Korean War. Thus it had to be patriotic. So what they did was 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 a 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; the weather is not favorable for crops, and there is not many 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 was “created" after the War and written not in Chinese but in Hangul (thus in English) such as Korean dramas, Wikipedia, recent history books, are likely to be fabrications and need to be checked against primary source evidence. 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 the 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 (printed version), "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 the perjury, calumny, and fraud rates in South Korea are some 160-670 times higher than those of Japan.

Be Attentive
I show you how brainwashed you are.
Korean sex slave issue is such a fabricated issue.
It is an economy and national security issue. It is NOT a history issue. It is not even a human rights issue. It is only disguised as such.
The comfort women were highly paid prostitutes and were only propagated as sex slave by the imfamous Yoshida's book, and the communist Asahi Newspaper, both of which admitted they were lies after 30 odd years.
The only thing you have are some claims by comfort women who appears where no questions were allowed because in the past they made stupid mistakes like mentioning a base where no Japanese base existed, or kidnapped by Jeep (only US troops have Jeep).
In fact, Prof. Ann of Seoul Uni. interviewed all the comfort women who claim they were forced, in the biggest research conducted on this issue using Korean money, concluded that all of the claims were either lies or due to some misunderstanding. He even said that the purpose of the political group behind this issue is not truce or justice, but merely to bash Japan.
Look for any primary source evidence or any witness. There is none. Nobody knows what it is, where it is, or even when who saw it.
That is the answer.
200,000 Korean sex slaves kidnapped and there is no primary source evidence nor witness.......
If you are confident that you are not brainwashed, go ahead and show to the world just ONE primary source evidence that convinced you that these were sex slaves.
There is nothing to hide. Talk away.
But mind you, so far, no one in the world found any, and thus you will be the first one.

You need to study history instead of propaganda.
It was the whites that colonized and enslaved the entire Asia for hundreds of years. What do you think there in Asia for? Charity?
Japan was the last country totally independent, and the US was approaching by brutally invading Hawaii, Guam and Philippine while Russia was coming down through Manchuria and Okhotsk.
It was Japan that build national armies in each coutries, trained, supplied weapons that in the end fought for independence after the War when Europeans came back to recolonize.
If you want to know atrocities by US, read some diaries by US soldiers and learn how they had non POW policies and killed all the surrendered soldiers both on land and in the sea.
In Philippine, they massacred up to one million natives on Leyte to kill just 40,000 Aginaldo soldiers.
They dropped two atomic bombs, and burned civilians by first engulfing them by fire so they cannot escape.
They killed one million Japanese civilians to kill two million soldiers.
Or, btw, the first thing US did when they came to Japan after the War was to force Japan to provide brothels in Yokohama using Japanese tax. Still 20,000 rapes were reported in the first several moths and 6,000 amerasians were born as a result.
US's 80 Amerasian Act is for one million for the entire world: God knows how many you have to rape for that.
You sound like a Korean person.

North or South, he won't be able to do it accurately unless he reads Chinese characters.
Almost no present day Korean can read their true official history books as they are all written in Chinese characters.
So they can only blindly believe the fabricated history that their governments cock up in order to hide their true but miserable facts like since the time of Yuan, the Peninsula, whoever ruled it, was dependencies of China; both Joseon government and the public asked Japan to annex and modernize but changed their mind AFTER the War.
Koreans did not write their history much in the first place. The first book is Samguk Sagi written in 12 century, but nobody really takes it seriously as there are many miserable things written in it like the king of Shilla was Japanese from Japan, etc. However, they still insist that their Joseon has 5,000 year old history by cherry picking Chinese and Japanese documents.
So their history is almost entirely written after the War. This history is written in Hangul, and the Korean History written in English are translation of the Korean history in Hangul.
Korean government is recreating its history as a part of its national brand especially Myeong-bak set up a government body, National Branding Council. Korean drama are used to spread their fabricated history.
For instance, they fabricated the history of Tae Kwon Do even though they learned from Karate; they pretends they had sword culture like samurai though their official book says they had no sword martial arts nor samurai equivalent, etc.
So unless you can read the Chinese characters, you cannot do it on Korea as Korean history in English is full of fabrications.
However, there are some books written by westerners who visited Korea before the Japanese annexation such as "Korea and Her Neighbors" by Isabella Bird. They usually give good insights into the true pre-modern Korean society. There are about a half dozen books like that.

@yuwooni9767
?????
All the ancient documents and archeological facts agree that the southern part of the Peninsula was Japan, except for the K's nationalist history. Also, all the K's steelmaking today was taught by Japan.
Archeologically, there are only about 50 ruins from more than 10,000 years ago in the Korean Peninsula, but more than 10,000 such ruins exist in Japan. The number dropped to zero in the Korean Peninsula between 10,000 to 5,000 years ago, but this disconnection never happened in the Japanese archipelago. Then, from the southern part of the Peninsula, Japanese Jomon earthenwares and Japanese district circular‐shaped ancient tombs with rectangular frontage (前方後円墳) start appearing. There are no traces of other cultures then.
This means that the people who lived in the Korean Peninsula before 10,000 years ago were extinct for whatever reason and that the first people who lived in the Korean Peninsula since then were the Japanese Jomon people whose Y-chromosome haplogroup is D1b2 that exclusively live in Japan and account for about 40% of present-day Japanese.
All these archeological findings are in accordance with all official documents in China, Japan, and Korea. The Book of Latter Han (後漢書) of around the 3rd century AD and the Chronicle of Japan (日本書記) written in the 8th century AD both says the southern part of the Koran Peninsula belongs to Japan. The oldest Korean history book, Samguk Sagi (三国史記), only goes back to the 12th century AD, says some early kings of Silla, which was a country that existed in the southern part of the Korean Peninsula, were Japanese from Japan.

Islands:
Japan was not island before. People freely walked to and from where Japan is. The history on the Japanese islands today is much older than Chinese one with the world's oldest earthenware, polished stone ware, and lacquer ware, and DNA compositions of the Japanese are totally different (40% of Japanese are D1b2).
Language:
The Japanese language are different to Koreans and Manchurians. Words are totally different and 55% of the world language use SOV. Also you should know that the Korean Peninsula was deserted and it is the Japanese who started living in southern part of the Peninsula. So there is no surprising that there are some similarities.
The characters came from China but Hiragana and Katakana evolved in Japan.
Shinto:
Shinto is an indigenous religion of Japan. It myth, gods, rituals are all different. There is no concept of gods dowelling in everything and worshiping nature is also originated in Japan.
Shrines are much older than 600 AD.
China:
There was no concept of “China” as a nation until 20th century, and it was the Japanese who taught the concept.
Even though they boast about their five thousand year history, China was first united only less than three thousand years ago, and it was not by the Han Chinese. Since then, China was united for two of the three thousand years, and the Han Chinese only ruled for a total of six hundred years during the Former Han, the Latter Han and Ming. Other dynasties were established by other races, so Manchuria, Mongol, Uighur and Tibet were never ruled by the Han Chinese.
Before the 20th century, China was the name of the land, not of a country: there were just different dynasties or country of different races occupying the land called “China."
Even though you may think Panda are Chinese, they were always Tibetan's and never belonged to the Han Chinese in history.

Route:
No really. There are also sea routs and northern routes from Siberia. The Haplogroup D1b2 has nothing to do with China or Korea.
Second class:
Wrong again. Nobody knows who the first was. Also the present day Japanese has 40% D1b2.
Korea:
Wrong again. All archeological and historical evidences says no. You only have less than 50 archeological sites of more than 10,000 years ago while in Japan, there are more than 10,000. Then after 10,000 years ago till 5,000 years ago your archeological sites disappears completely. None. Zero, meaning that people extinct on the Korean Peninsula because of disaster, famine, war, diseases, or whatever. Then from 5,000 years ago, Japanese Jomon earthenwares start appearing at the Southern part of the Peninsula and then the Japanese the tombs. This all agrees with the Chinese and Japanese ancient documents writing that the southern part of the Korean Peninsula was Japan.
Wriging:
Only partially right.
It is only the Chinese characters that Japanese learned from China. The world’s first novel was written by the Japanese and there many cultures before that.
Hiragana evolved from characters, but Katakana is not. Nobody knows.
Because Chinese language are totally different to the Japanese language, the Japan soon invented its own way of adapting the characters to Japanese words. Kojiki of the 8th century was written as such.
Today, 70% of Chinese words in china are created by Japanese.
Shinto:
You argument does not make sense. "worshiping of nature predates human civilization, and has been practiced by cultures and prehistorical cultures around the world,” then you have to show how they are related.
There is no myth, gods, rituals, world views, shrines, priests, priestess of Shintoism in China. None. Not even in their documents.
China 中国:
Totally wrong.
China is not the oldest surviving civilization. There were just dynasties of different races in present day China. “China” was a name of the land. After the Sino-Japanese War, Japan took about 8,000 Chinese students every year and it was the Japanese who taught the concept of nation state then to the Chinese for the first time. That is why they spoke different language, had different cultures and above all they were different race.
The only Han Chinese dynasties are the Forman Han, Later Han and Ming. In others, the Han Chinese were second class citizens.
The Han Chinese are not loose concept. It is the CCP’s fabrication to invade other parts of China.
Confucius:
Only partly right.
There are many indigenous beliefs and religions that Confucianism did NOT taken root in Japan. Confucianism was merely a knowledge in Japan.
Music and instruments:
Some have roots in the west of China though some originated in Japan.
Clothing:
Japanese Kimono has its origin in Japan though the use of silk in them came from most likely from 呉 as it is called 呉服. But they are not the Han Chinese.
Building:
Some come from Tang dynasty but it is not the Han Chinese dynasty. Some came from southern China but nobody know who it was.

@angelandi5140 "No one is saying Korea didn't gain anything from Japan"
What?
Then state anything you did not gain from Japan. Look around you. Anything.
Either Japan did not give you for free, teach you for free, or you did not copy or steal.
Industries (electronics, semiconductors, steel, automobile, shipbuilding, heavy industries, railways, construction, chemicals, textile, forestry, fishery), the legal system, medical system, educational system, agriculture (rice, vegetables, fruits), processed foods, confectionaries, martial arts, fashion, subcultures, manga, games, pop culture, ..... anything.
NAME one that you did not get from Japan.

@angelandi5140 This is what President Hoover of the US said:
When I visited Korea in 1909, to advise some Japanese industrialists on engineering matters. The Korean people at that time were in the most disheartening condition that I had witness in any part of Asia. There was little law and order. The masses were underfed, under-clothed, under housed and under equipped. There was no sanitation, and filth and squalor enveloped the whole countryside. The roads were hardly passable, and there were scant communication or educational facilities. Scarcely a tree broke the dismal landscape. Thieves and bandits seemed to be unrestrained.
*During the thirty-five years of Japanese control, the life of the Korean people was revolutionized. Beginning with this most unpromising human material, the Japanese established order, built harbors, railways, roads and communications, good public buildings, and greatly improved housing. They established sanitation and taught better methods of agriculture. They built immense fertilizer factories in North Korea which lifted the people’s food suppliers to reasonable levels. They reforested the bleak hills. They established a general system of education and the development skills. Even dusty, drab and filthy clothing had been replaced with clean bright colors. (“Freedom Betrayed” by George Nash)

@KENNYCMUSICPRODUCER Look around you and state what Japan did not teach, or you copied or stolen from Japan, apart from ttongsel. Technologies (semiconductors, electronics, heavy industries, automobiles, chemicals, constructions...), food, fashion, agricultural products, pop cultures, subcultures, snacks anything....even your plastic faces are using measurements of Japanese models you copied from Takasu Clinic.
Show to the world.

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.

Hyuck Moon
Why Japanese were in present day "China":
Manchuria:
Historically the people in the northern part of China were always militarily stronger than the Han Chinese as they were good at riding horses. That is why the southern Chinese built the Great Wall of China. Manchuria was never ruled by the Han Chinese, and it was a land of Manchurians (Jurchens) or their relatives like Mongols. Though the Han Chinese were allowed into the land towards the end of the Qing Dynasty, this region was one of the least populated area in today’s China.
However, though as simple as it seems, the issue surrounding the region was so complex that even the Lytton’s report said that the complication is unparalleled like none in the world, and that nobody is entitle to judge anything unless fully aware of the situation.
The Great Game:
The Great Game came eastward all the way to the Far East. They even fought Crimean War in Kamchatka Peninsula. As such, for the Japanese in Edo Era, Russians were the biggest threat, appearing in Hokkaido every now and then and at one point taking over Tsushima. Even after the Meiji Restoration, with Nicholai II calling himself the Commodore of the Pacific, they were always eager to expand into the Pacific Ocean.
Russia had Vladivostok, but its port freezes during the winter. That is why they had set an eye to the Yellow Sea and Liaodong Peninsula where there are some good ports at which today’s North Sea Fleet of People's Liberation Army Navy is stationed.
Thus Russians led the Triple Intervention so that Japan had to return the peninsula which they obtained after the Sino-Japan War. But soon after the return, of course Russia bribed their way to buy rights from Qing for the Chinese Eastern Railway to the Peninsula. The British and the US were concerned about this since if it connects to the Trans-Siberian Railway as planned to be completed in 1904, the Soviet’s advantage in material transportation to the Far East could change the balance of power in the region, handing over Soviet the mastery of sea in the Pacific.
That is why Russo-Japan War broke out in 1904 with the help of the British and the US. That is why the southern part of the Chinese Eastern Railway was taken by the Japanese in the Treaty of Portsmouth with the mediation by the US.
Development of Manchu:
So Japan took Liaodong Peninsula. But Manchuria at the time was nothing but rugged deserted land just like the western US with poor soil short in phosphor and freezes during winter. Even Dalian was nothing as the Manchurians were land people. Russian started this city (that is why the name Dalian is a part of Russian name meaning Far East) for a few years but it was Japan that developed the entire city. As you can see some photos in internet, the city was just like Shanghai developed by the Sassoon. In the first year alone, Japan invested an equal amount to its national budget.
Japan then developed a new-type soybeans, Manchurian soybeans, that could grow on this poor and cold soil, and started running farms in other parts of Manchuria by leasing and buying lands and hiring locals. Japan could have cultivated lands by machines, but instead it hired locals purposely so they could become well off, too. The export of the Manchurian Soybeans to Europe subsequently grew rapidly and Manchuria become the world’s biggest exporter of soybeans that accounted for over 50% of its total export. Soybean oil was first developed here too. Soybeans were grown throughout the region, and within 20 years, the desert of Manchuria became a prosperous green farm land.
Japan also developed other agricultural products like wheat but they also developed heavy industries like steel, coal, electricity, petroleum, automobile, airplanes, among other things by investing a huge amount of money.
Manchuria became a rich land from nothing.
The Incident:
Then all of sudden, the Han Chinese started saying it is all theirs and Japan has to go home leaving everything behind for free.
On January 1, 1912, ROC established itself following the Xinhan Revolution in 1911. Then Qing Dynasty fell in the following month. But no non-Han Chinese regions, Manchuria, Inner Mongol, Uighur or Tibet wanted to join, and with countless wars and plunders among Kuomintang, CCP, many warlords, bandits were going on, the place was in total turmoil like today’s Syria. As all Japan’s contracts were made with the Qing Dynasty and because there was no Manchurian government, Japan formed new contracts with ROC of Yuan Shikai.
However, the Han Chinese started saying this new contract was invalid. Behind this was the Comintern too. Right from the beginning, the Comintern targeted Japan for the following reasons: Japan had monarch; Japan won the Russo-Japan War; Japan intervened Soviet’s revolution in Siberia with the British and others; Soviet wants Manchuria also. Not only blatant breaches of the agreements such as death penalties on people leasing lands to Japanese were imposed, crimes like destructions of railways, factories, facilities, and mines, and burglaries were being reported more than ten thousand cases a year. In the name of “Revolution,” they did anything to get Japanese out of the place.
Although Japan did not originally have its army in Manchuria like Soviet did, they could not maintain the safety and order, and had to station Kwantung Army in 1919. Incidentally, Kwantung literally means the east of a barrier, specifically meaning the east of the barrier where Great Wall touches Bohai Sea. So by definition, Kwantung Army was not mean to cross the Great Wall.
However, crimes and harassment kept on increasing, and in the end, the Manchurian Incident broke out. It was not a cause, but it was a result of what happened in the previous 15 years.
Helen Mears, a US historian and an author of “Mirrors of America: Japan” says in her book that Japan can sue ROC with the information collected in the Lytton’s report; the armed force that Japan used in the Incident was no more than other country used for retaliations against China’s crimes and threats. A US diplomat in China, John Van Antwerp MacMurray, says in his book “How the Peace was Lost” that Japan kept all international treaties and it was ROC that broke them, and because US did not treat Japan equally on this matter, it became unbearable for the Japanese. Also another US diplomat Ralph Townsend wrote in his book, “Ways That Are Dark: The Truth About China,” that Japan did what we had been thinking we should do; every foreigners in the Far East was on the Japan’s side; everyone scornfully laughed at Stimson who criticized Japan on this; but because newspaper did not report the truth, anti-Japan sentiment grew in the US.
Behind all this in Manchuria was Zhang Xueliang who was later found to be a member of Kuomintang, and Timperley was already in China, so of course all the lies were being spread out. But the Incident was not even against the International Law.
Manchukuo:
One day Puyi escaped into the Japanese Embassy from the Forbidden City, where he was confined after being dethroned. He asked for help. The Han Chinese was keeping him to make it look as if Manchuria belong to ROC. But with all his ancestor graves being destroyed and all the treasures stolen, Puyi really became sick of the Han Chinese and demanded to go back to Manchuria as an emperor. Since then some 700 representatives of Manchurians, Mongols, Koreans, youth, and other groups living in Manchuria got together in Fengtian and decided to found Manchukuo.
So the Machukuo was established with the help of the Japanese government but all of its ministers and politicians were Manchurians. And with the return of the emperor, all the robbers, bulgars and the like got together under him, and soon the order was restored in Manchuria.
Some people call it a puppet state. But if this was a puppet state, what about all the Latin American and Caribbean countries of the time supported by US? What about Hawaii? What about India supported by the British? The truth is that it was a country all Manchurian wanted and welcomed.
After the War in Tokyo Trial, Puyi testified that he did not want to be an emperor and the whole thing was forced by the Japanese. But at the time he was kept in Soviet’s concentration camp; escorted by Soviet’s soldiers; and was taken back to the camp. He later wrote in his memoir that he hid the truth in the Tokyo Trial. Also in “Twilight in the Forbidden City” written by Reginald F. Johnston, a Puyi’s personal teacher, Johnston says that Puyi wanted to found his own country. This is a first class primary source evidence.
Lytton’s report:
Right or left, and Great Powers or Japanese, they more or less all agree that the report written by the Lytton Commission was thorough and good, but except for its conclusion. The report literally says that just about everything Japan said is right, and respects all its rights in Manchuria. But in its conclusions, it suggests the Manchukuo to be under the control of the League of Nations.
Of course, the League of Nations was heavily controlled by the Great Powers and the members of Lytton Commission were all commanders of European countries, so in a way, this conclusion was understandable. But for the Japanese it was not acceptable. At the time, the Japanese politicians were pacifists and the Kwantung Army was aggressive. But it was really the media that fueled the whole thing everyday.
One of the communists and a Soviet spy arrested in the Sorge Incident was a Japanese journalist, Hotsumi Ozaki, at the leading newspaper company, Asahi Shinbun, who was executed in jail. He was also a brain to the Prime Minister Konoe, but previously he stationed in China as an analyst of Asahi for the Manchurian Railway.

China:
It is the Han Chinese that attacked Japan first.
Japan first got that part of Manchuria from Russia, not from China. The Han Chinese had never ruled Manchuria in their history. Never. Also they hate the Hans. When Qing fell, ROC asked Manchuria, Inner Mongol, Uighur, and Tibet to join. But they all refused.
In case you did not know, even though they boast about their five thousand year history, China was first united only less than three thousand years ago, and it was not by the Han Chinese. Since then, China was united for two of the three thousand years, and the Han Chinese only ruled for a total of six hundred years during the Former Han, the Latter Han and Ming. Other dynasties were established by other races, so Manchuria, Mongol, Uighur and Tibet were never ruled by the Han Chinese.
Before the 20th century, China was the name of the land, not of a country: there were just different dynasties or country of different races occupying the land called “China."
Even though you may think Panda are Chinese, they were always Tibetan's and never belonged to the Han Chinese in history. The Whites are brainwashed and fooled by the Han Chinese.

Marco-Polo Bridge Incident:
If the name of your game is truth rather than propaganda, you should look into what the Comintern and CCP were doing behind all this.
On July 25, 1935, at the 7th Comintern meeting, they decided to target Japan in Asia, especially the Japanese troops in China. In the following month, CCP announced "August 1 Declaration” and started acting against Japan. Their objective was to pit Japan against Kuomintang so both gets exhausted for a later communist revolution, and this is why they released Chang-kai Shek in December 1936, whom they captured in the Xi'an Incident.
Upon release by CCP after talking with Zhou Enlai, Chang-kai Shek returned to Nanking, and soon changed Kuomintang’s fundamental policies as follows: one, abandoning the unification policy of China; two, concluding a cease-fire with CCP; three, replacing pro-Japan high-rank officers in Kuomintang (Chang-kai Shek himself was first pro-Japan as he studied abroad in Japan for several years); four, preparing for a war against Japan by raising funds from overseas including millions of dollars from Stalin.
Then the Marco-Polo Bridge Incident happened in July 7,1937. Chinese blame Japan shot first while Japanese blamed the Chinese. But as decided before, it was the top priority for CCP to make Japan fight against Kuomintang while there was no incentive for Japan for this, and actually Japan did have a command not to aggress into China.
However, a cease-fire agreement was soon reached between Kuomintang and Japan. But immediately after that, a series of many provocative incidents by Chinese happened again in succession including Dahongmen Incident on July 13, whereby four Japanese soldiers were killed; Tungchow mutiny on July 29, whereby 223 Japanese civilians were tortured and massacred in the most cruelest way; Oyama Incident on August 9, whereby a Japanese first lieutenant Oyama was assassinated.
If you google some photos of Tungchow mutiny, you will see most cruel Chinese traditional methods of killing people, and they are the same methods as the ones used in what they call “Nanking Massacre.”
But Japan did not still retaliate.
Then finally on August 13, Chang-kai Shek attacked the Japanese Settlement in Shanghai with 50,000 Kuomintang soldiers, and this triggered Japan to fight back.

Nanking Massacre:
All the evidences for the Nanking Massacre were fabricated by the Kuomintang’s Publicity Section for raising funds in US; used after the War by GHQ and US for Tokyo Trial and WGIP to record Japan as the aggressor and to lessen the guilt for the dropping of atomic bombs; and today exploited in CCP’s propaganda as a weapon to break up the ties among US, Japan, Taiwan and other US allies for their military expansion into the Pacific and Indian Ocean. China is spending 10 billion dollars for these issues in UN, US, Japan and other US allies annually since the modern history is a source of government legitimacy, territorial rights, national security, military advantage, economical profits.
If you are confident, show your primary source evidence that convinced you that this fabrication is in fact a true story. So far all I saw from the people like yourself are: photos fabricated by the Publicity Section of Kuomintang to raise funds in US through Chang-kai Shek's wife, Mei-soon Lin, of so-called "Japanese soldiers" wearing look alike outfits made in China; hearsay from Kuomintang like the diary of Rabe who admitted that he did not see any civilian massacre, and thus did not testify at Tokyo Trial nor his diary was used in it; news articles distributed to the world mainly through an Australian journalist, Harold John Timperley, who was revealed by Kuomintang's documents in Taiwan in 2015 to be one of their five chief agents, and was responsible as the head of the London Brunch of Kuomintang’s Publicity Section regularly receiving money. The head of the International Publicity Section of Kuomintang, Zeng Xubai, later admitted in his autobiography that they paid Tmeperley and Smythe to write books on Nanking Massacre to propagate overseas and these books achieved their goals.
Also, all the confessions from Japanese veterans, which were presented by CCP and registered in UNESCO as evidences for the massacre in China, were made by members of a communist group called Chukiren. All of them, without an exception. They were brainwashed by CCP during their captivities. The CCP's objective was to use them as activists in order to emotionally separate Japanese citizens from the government by brainwashing the Japanese how bad Japan behaved during the War, for a later communist revolution in Japan that the CCP was planning.
GHQ cooperated with this CCP's plan for their War Guilt Information Program, and the document for the operation was declassified in 2014 by The National Archives United Kingdom, TNA, in England under the name, Norman File KV2/3261, after a Canadian diplomat in charge, Egerton Herbert Norman, who committed suicide when he was suspected as a communist spy.
Before the Japanese Army marched into Nanking, the International Committee for Nanking Safety Zone, for which Rabe was the leader, notified them where the Safety Zone was, and subsequently sent a latter of appreciation to the Army for not bombing it. The population of the city as counted by the Committee before the Japanese entry was about 200,000, much less than the CCP’s claim for a massacre of 300,000, and the number increased to about 250,000 in the following months because the Chinese civilians who escaped to outside of the city returned once they found that it was safe. It was the CCP and Kuomintang who were killing the civilians, and they were the ones that civilians were scared of.
That is why tens of western media journalists who were in Nanking or along the way to the city at the time never reported any civilian massacre by the Japanese Army.

Fabricated Korean history:
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.
Koreans cannot read your own true history as they are all written in Chinese characters.
Koreans cannot even CHECK who is telling the truth.
All Koreans can do is to regurgitate the fabrications that their stupid government keeps on cocking up in order to hide the miserable fact that they are so ashamed about: your oldest official history book says the king of Silla was Japanese from Japan; since the time of Yuan Dynasty, Korea was dependency of China for almost one thousand years; Korea was so poor, miserable and hopeless that your ancestors asked Japan to annex and modernize; the independence of South Korea was not fought for, but it was given by US.

???????????
You said it.
Now is the time to back up your statements.
Your first history book was written only in 12 century.
There are only 50 or so archeological sites of more than 10,000 years ago in the entire Korean peninsula, then nothing after that until 5,000 years ago, when Japanese Jomon stone wares start appearing at the southern tip of the Korean Peninsula. It means the Peninsula was first occupied the Japanese, and that agree with Chinese documents like the Book of the Later Han which says the South of the Korean Peninsula was a part of Japan.
In Japan, the first pre-stone age site goes back 120,000 years ago, Sunabara remains. Then there are more than 10,000 remains of more than 10,000 years ago in Japan.
Also, the worlds first polished stone ware, lacquer ware, earthen ware are found in Japan.
Stop spreading stupid lies and fabrications based on NO primary source evidence. That is why Koreans are hated.
Otherwise, if you are confident, then show your primary source evidence to support your fantasies.
There is nothing to hide.
Talk away.

Here you go:
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 S Korea are some 160-670 times higher than those of Japan.

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 did was 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 a 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.

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."

That is NOT what the Japanese said, idiot. That is what Amercian Uni. said.
And this is what Koreans say about yourself:

Lies are a part of your history, tradition and culture.
That is what your mother taught you in your country.
You are born as a liar; taught to be a liar; live as a liar; die as a liar; and your offspring will be another liar.
What a miserable nation.
What a miserable life.

DNA Haplogroup
There are three main Y-haplogroups in Japan, D, O and C.
D:
Roughly 40% of Japanese belong to D, but nearly all of it is D1b which is unique to Japanese only. There is no D in China or Korea except in Tibet. But Tibetans are D1a.
The D has very unique mutation called YAP. But there is one another haplogroup that has YAP, which is the haplogroup E. E only exists in the eastern Africa, West Asia and some parts of Europe. So this could be the Japanese connection with Caucasians.
O:
Up to 30% of the Japanese belong to the haplogroup O, but they are O1b2 (O-47z), which almost exclusively occurs in Japan. Koreans are xO-47, and there is none of this in China.
15-20% of Japanese belong to O2. About 70% of the northern Chinese and 35% of Koreans belong to O2, so that this could well be the Japanese connection with Chinese and Koreans.
C:
About 5% of the Japanese are C1a1 that only occurs in Japan. Another 5% belong to C2 which also exists in Korea and China. But the origin of C2 is believe to be somewhere in Siberia.
So in total, more than 70% of the Japanese DNA are unique to the Japanese only, and they do not even occur in China or Korea.

1. There were only about 50 remains of more than 10,000 years ago in the entire Korean Peninsula, but there are more than 10,000 in Japan.
2. Between 10,000 to 5,000 years the number drops to zero in Korean Peninsula, meaning that the people in the peninsula extincted possibly because of disease or natural disaster.
3. After 5,000 years ago, Japanese Jomon earthenware start appearing at the southern part of the peninsula.
4. This agrees with both the Chinese ancient documents like 後漢書, and Japanese documents like 日本書紀, which say that the southern part of the Korean Peninsula was Japan.
5. This is in agreement with the oldest Korean official history book, 三国史記, which says that a King of Shilla was Japanese from Japan.
6. The circular‐shaped ancient tombs with rectangular frontage, which are the distinctive tombs of Yayoi people in Japan that appeared after 3 AD in Japan, start appearing in the southern part of the Korean Peninsula after 5 AD.
7. Rice is a subtropical plant and the poor soil of the Korean Peninsula is not suited for rice farming. Even today, no northern Chinese eat rice for their main diet, making it hard to believe the hypothesis that rice farming came from the central China through the northern China into the Korean Peninsula and then to Japan.
8. Archeological findings for Japanese rice farming is much older than that in the Korean Peninsula: the oldest rice plant opal found in Japan goes back to 6,000 years ago while in Korea, only 3,000 years ago.
9. The oldest earthenware found with rice in Japan goes back to 3,500 years ago, while in Korea only 3,000 years ago.
10. The oldest remain of rice field in Japan goes back to 2,600 years ago, but in Korea 2,500 years ago.
11. Genetically speaking, the Japanese rice could not have come from Korean Peninsula either: in China they have genetically 8 different variations from a to h; in Japan three, a,b, and c; but in Korea only two, a and c.
12. Japanese steel making process, Tatara, has nothing to do with Korean method. It is more related to those found in the central Asia.
13. Koreans always say that Baekje ruled Japan, but its King, Buyeo Pung, was only staying in Japan as a hostage.
14. Even Koreans do not know for sure where they came from. Most likely they were Evenki and stole the history of Tungus by way of Koguryo.
15. Nobody knows where the Yayoi people were from. They could have come from the south by the ocean, from the Peninsula, even from the north, or even there are evidences that they were a part of the Jomon people. But one thing that is sure is that even if it was from the Korean Peninsula, it was only acting as a corridor, and NOT the origin.
16. The biggest problem with the Korean history is that they did not write and leave much, and even when they did, almost no Korean can read them as they are all written in Chinese characters. They only blindly believe and regurgitate the fabrications that the government blatantly cocks up to steal other countries history and cultures.

In 2000, Stanford University conducted comparison of history textbooks among several countries, which basically said that textbooks in China are propaganda, ones in South Korea are fantasy, and ones in Japan are most fair.
A former professor at Seoul University, Lee Young-hoon, who is a co-author of "Anti-Japan Tribalism," describes Korea's culture of lying in his preface as follows:
“A country of lies, a nation of lies: Korea's liar culture is widely known internationally. In 2014 alone, 1,400 people were prosecuted for perjury, 172 times more than Japan. Considering the population, perjury per capita is 430 times that of Japan. The greatest responsibility for the fact that the people of this country do not regard lies as lies and that the politics of this country have come to use lies as a means of political conflict can be attributed to the country's liar scholarship. The history and sociology of this country are a hotbed of lies. Universities in this country are factories of lies.”

K was one of the poorest nations in the world, being a tributary state of Chinese dynasties for almost one thousand years since the time of the Yuan Dynasty.
Japan made K independent after the Sino-Japanese War and assisted K in governing itself. But K failed miserably.
So your Emperor addressed the nation and begged Japan to annex:
“I have made every effort since my accession to the throne, but the disease of Korea has only worsened and its exhaustion has reached an extreme. There is no hope of recovery, and there is nothing that can be done. The situation would only get worse and worse, and there was nothing that could be done. Therefore, I have come to the conclusion that it is better to entrust this great task to someone else. I hereby transfer the right to govern Korea to His Majesty the Emperor of Japan, in whom I have placed my trust, and resolve to firmly establish peace in the Orient on the outside and to preserve the welfare of all Koreans on the inside. The people should consider the current situation of the country, submit themselves to the superior civilization of Japan, and enjoy the happiness of the people. This is not because I have forgotten the people but rather out of a desire to save them. The people should understand my will and act accordingly.”
But after the war, your parents thought it was too embarrassing to teach the truth, so they changed their minds.

@yuwooni9767
Alternatively, if you cannot list examples of what you mentioned (religion, architecture, music, smelting technology, pottery, and countless other things), you can answer the following question:
Just look around you now, and mention ONE thing that J did not teach or give free of charge, or K did not steal from J. Just ONE thing.
I can think of paper and ttongsel. That's all.
J developed Chinese cabbage for Kimchi that can be grown under low temperatures of the Peninsula, and even the operating techniques and the facial measurements of Ks plastic faces are all J.

It is called statistics.
According to the main editorial by the editor-in-chief of Choson Ilbo, which is the largest newspaper in Korea, on February 13, 2003, February 2, 2010, and March 6, 2012 (print version), "Korea has the highest fraud rate and is the only country whose fraud rate exceeds that of robbery in the OECD. Also, the combined rates of perjury, libel and fraud in South Korea are about 160-670 times higher than in Japan.

When did that happen?
If you want to know how your ancestors used to live BEFORE the annexation, you can read books written by westerners who visited there. There are at least a half dozen of them with the most famous one being "Korea and Her Neighbors" by 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.
Here you go:
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 S Korea are some 160-670 times higher than those of Japan.

Below are obvious wrongs in the video:
1. Yamato people came to Yamato 660 BC according to the legend. There is no archeological evidence to determine when they came exactly.
2. Japan was centralized under the Emperor before Samurai took power in 1192, not just after the Meiji Restoration.
3. Japan did not annex Taiwan, it colonized it after being ceded by Qin. Japan annexed Korea only.
4. Manchuria is Manchurian's and not of the Han Chinese. The Han Chinese never ruled this part of present day China. Never. It is the Han Chinese that invaded Manchuria.
5. It was not a full war of Japan vs China. When Qin fell, and ROC asked Tibet, Uighur, Inner Mongol and Manchuria to join, they all refused. The Han Chinese never ruled these regions. Plus, the Hans were divided between ROC and CCP. Japan almost exclusively fought against ROC, which is now Taiwan.
6. Japan's Self Defense Force does not have full assertive weapons and capabilities as the armies of other countries do.
7. With the public debt, you need to look at the other side of the balance sheet and where the money is borrowed from. The net debt that the government is borrowing from foreign country is none; that from the private sector is decreasing with the total outstanding balance of about 500 trillion yen, the half of what it's claimed for the Japan's total debt.

First, the same applies to you as well.

Third, you can talk about any fantasy you want if you do NOT have to back up.

Exactly what is that?
There is nothing to hide. Talk away.
If you are really confident that you have studied the history of this region and of Japan, and want to talk about the history academically, go right ahead.
Or, if you want to talk about some political propaganda by reading some stupid internet pages or newspapers, you have better not. You would be just embarrassing yourself.
Korean issues are different. It is a political issue.
Oh, when you want to talk about history, show or point to a primary source evidence, and NOT some edition created for money or political purposes.

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 single fleet out of many Joseon fleets, certainly not the admiral or the commander of the Ming-Joseon combined fleet. 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.
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.
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.
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 “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. And in the end, Yi was killed in a revenge batte of attacking Japanese after the cease-fire.
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, or 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 Japanese on the sea.

For instance, lost in the Siege of Suncheon.
In your 露梁海戦, Korean record says you won while Japanese record says they won. But the simple fact is that Koreans could not kill any Japanese generals and could not capture Konishi. Also Japanese not only killed Yi, but also 鄧子龍、李英男、方徳龍、高得蒋、李彦良 as well. So you could guess whose record are close to the truth.
Why don't you look up wiki. They are not always true, but there are many references including primary source evidences.
You have to compare the records from both sides. But generally Korean records are full of lies and fabrications.

Fabricated Korean history:
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.
It is YOU who cannot read your own true history as they are all written in Chinese characters.
It is YOU who cannot even CHECK who is telling the truth.
All you can do is to regurgitate the fabrications that your stupid government keeps on cocking up in order to hide the miserable fact that they are so ashamed about: your oldest official history book says the king of Silla was Japanese from Japan; since the time of Yuan Dynasty, Korea was dependency of China for almost one thousand years; Korea was so poor, miserable and hopeless that your ancestors asked Japan to annex and modernize; the independence of South Korea was not fought for, but it was given by US.
You should worry about your history before worrying about others.

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.

What an idiot.
Korean Swords:
Japanese swords are nothing like Korean ones. To begin with, Koreans did NOT have martial arts other than their archery.
Korean Sword Martial Arts:
1) Wubei Zhi (武備志)
Wubei Zhi is a Chinese strategy book during the Ming Dynasty (1368 -1644), which was compiled by a Chinese, Mao Yuanyi, in 1621. The reason for the compilation arose from the failure in the Imjin War (1592 -1597) in which the Chinese soldiers were unable to fight equally against the Japanese samurai with their swords.
At the beginning of the book, the author, Mao Yuanyi, wrote “Our swords are shorter and weaker than the Japanese ones,” and that “our Tang Dynasty’s sword martial art was lost in China, but one dilettante found it is remaining in Korea as Joseon Saebeop."
2) Muyedobotongji (武芸図譜通志, 무예도보통지)
Muyedobotongji is the only Korean strategy book, and it was only written as recently as at the end of the 18th century in Joseon. But despite what Wubei Zhi says, the book says at the beginning “the ONLY martial art in Korea is archery (止弓矢一技),” and by referring to the Imjin War like Wubei Zhi, it was compiled with an aim of CREATING a NEW sword martial art by combining Chinese and Japanese sword martial arts. This is the true character of “本国剣,” or what Koreans call “traditional Korean sword art."
So, even if the Korean sword art did exist as Koreans claim, it was the Chinese sword martial art of the Tang Dynasty, and Korea's “traditional” sword art, 本国剣, is a combination of Chinese and Japanese sword martial arts.
“Corea has NO samurai. She lacks what Japan always had - a cultured body of men, the soldier, and scholar in one, who held to a high ideal of loyalty, patriotism, and sacrifice for the country.”
— “Corea the Hermit Nation” by William Grifiss (1843-1928)
“Common soldiers hardly ever wear swords. Only officers and mandarins of higher rank are armed with such of JAPANESE make, but they are all OLD and RUSTY. It is more likely that these also were BROUGHT into the country by the JAPANESE, and were left behind on their withdrawal."
— “A Forbidden Land” by Ernst Oppet (1832 - 1903)
Having said that, Koreans did have shorter swords that they wore under an armpit, back to front, and hung on a swivel.
Korean swords are so different to the Japanese ones: they are much shorter; not curved; single ridged; using much lower quality iron; has no hamon or no habaki; and most importantly the hard steel, hagane, is not sandwiched giving it a much lower cutting quality in battles.
Korean swords were used only supplementally to their bows and arrows, unlike Japanese katana. They hold no spiritual values to anyone and were poorly made with much lower cutting and artistic qualities.
In addition, despite the fact that Koreans want to claim it was the Koreans who taught Japanese how to make iron and swords, the Japanese traditional steel making process, Tatara, is not related to Korean one, and it is more related to ones in the Central or West Asia. The fact is that even today, Koreans cannot produce kitchen knives good and sharp enough to cut raw fish for sushi.
They are two different things, almost as different from the Western swords.
Note that Koreans swords you see on TV and in their martial arts today are NOT their traditional ones, as all Korean martial arts other than their archery started AFTER the 1960s by modifying Japanese martial arts. That is why you see some Korean swords similar to the Japanese katana.

@aelis9269 ??????
Look around you, and try to find anything that Japan did not give or teach you for free, or you did not copy or steal, apart from ttongsel.
Semiconductors, electronics, automobiles, heavy industries, steels, chemicals, constructions, shipbuilding, agriculture, martial arts, fashions, makeups, hairdos, arts, etc. etc.... try to find anything that Korean did NOT snuggle up to Japan, learn from them, and then steal technologies afterward.
Look at your face 20 years ago. Koreans look completely different from Japanese but since all your plastic surgery measurements and techniques are developed by Takatsu Clinic in Japan based on the Japanese models, today even the Japanese cannot tell the difference from Koreans.
And what's more, Koreans always say afterward that it is Koreans that developed all those technologies. Just like a hundred years ago, when Japan modernized Korea after Koreans asked Japan, But now since the Korean government is so ashamed about it, it hides the fact and teaches fabrications and lies.

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.

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 “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. And in the end, Yi was killed in a revenge batte of attacking Japanese after a cease-fire.
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.
