	Seven-Year War
		The Seven-Year War (called Im-jin Wae-ran 壬辰倭亂 'Japanese Turmoil of the Im-jin Year') was the conflict from 1592 to 1598 on the Korean peninsula, following two successive Japanese invasions of Korea.
		As the first step he launched a war against Korea, a vassal to China which had refused an alliance with Japan and denied the passage of Japanese troops through its country.
		Farmlands were devastated, irrigation dikes were destroyed, villages and towns were burned down, the population was first plundered and then dispersed, and tens of thousands of skilled workers (celadon ware makers) were either killed during the war or taken to Japan as captives.

		During the war, the French and British navies collaborated on the design of armoured floating batteries for reducing Russian defenses which had previously held off attempts at bombardment by wooden hulled battleships.
		A riverboat captain, James Buchanan Eads, proposed to the Union government a fleet of ironclad riverboats, which essentially were civilian riverboats stripped down of their superstructures and covered with an iron-plated casemate protecting the paddlewheel and housing a dozen guns; he would further impress the government by producing 8 of these ships within 100 days.
		The naval war was concluded the next year at the Battle of Weihaiwei, where the strongest remaining Chinese ships were surrendered to the Japanese.

	Imjin War diaries are memorial of invasions for Koreans
		During Korea’s two Imjin Wars against Japanese invaders—in 1592 and 1597—the Korean people endured incompetent leadership, famine, the destruction of their villages and bloody assaults that resulted in a “mountain” of pickled noses and ears of 38,000 Koreans placed on display in Osaka, Japan.
		The Imjin invasions and earlier and later ones—chiefly the Mongolian in 1231–70, the Japanese of 1910–45, and the Korean War of 1950–53—have profoundly shaped Korean history and literature, Kichung Kim said in his Jan. 20 lecture “Survival and Abduction: Documentary Literature of the Imjin Wars (1592–98),” but the “most brutal” were the Imjin Wars.
		Yu’s goal was to be “brutally honest about the mistakes the Korean leaders made before and during the war.” He charged that the Korean government had been foolish and negligent about Japan’s plans for war, ignoring the reports of its own envoys who reported on Japan’s plans.

		Basiccally, when a war is fought between a lack-of-equipment side against a well-equipment side in the Modern age.
		First the heavy weapons are destroy, causing military loses, second if many are killed and injurd, the media in their own country will criticise the government.
		In fact I'd go so far as to say at the beginning of the war the positions re equipment were exactly reversed with the US/South Korean side being at a vast disadvantage.

		This volume describes the initial direction and strategy of the first major though limited war that the United States was to fight on the continent of Asia in the era of global tension that followed World War II.
		There are marked similarities as well as some basic differences between the war in Korea and the war that would follow a decade later in Southeast Asia, and certainly the study of both is necessary to understand the limitations on armed conflict under the shadow of nuclear holocaust.
		Although the war continued for another two years, no significant change was made in the policy developed between President Truman's decision to intervene in June 1950 and the beginning of Armistice negotiations at Kaesong in July 1951.

	Samurai Invasion: Japan's Korean War 1592 -1598 by Cassell
		His coverage of this important war is very action-oriented and the ample maps and illustrations that come with the book help to boost the book's readability.
		This is the only book length treatment of this neglected war available in English, and it is a very good one, if a little skewed in favor of the Japanese.
		Naturally Admiral Yi is the Lord Nelson (or Admiral Togo?!) of Korea, and for those who have visited that country and been frustrated by the language barrier (as I have) this book is a perfect starting-point to understanding the historical background and conflicting cultures of the two countries.

	Etymological Origin of the word Imjin (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		The origin of the name Imjin may be traced to 1592, when, during the reign of Korean King Seunjo of the Yi Dynasty (1392-1910) the Japanese Shogun Toyotomi Hideyoshi, with an army of 158,000 men and a navy of 40,000 seasoned sailors, attempted to annex Korea as part of a larger campaign to intimidate China.
		Koreans call it the Imjinwaeran (Imjin War), and often refer to 1592 as the Imjin year.
		Bonfires were lit to keep track of the Japanese ground forces, and the number of fires lit (from one, meaning "all quiet" to five, meaning "the enemy has broken through and we are being overrun") kept the populace and leadership informed.

	The Imjin War
		Within days of the outbreak of the Imjin War, Admiral Yi Sun-sin sailed into the Hallyo Waterway in search of Japanese shipping intent on engaging and destroying it whenever and wherever it might appear.
		The war was less than ten days old when the Choson Navy had its first major engagement against the Japanese.
		Borrowing a maxim from Sun Tzu's Art of War - "If the soldiers are committed to fight to the death they will live, whereas if they seek to stay alive they will die." - Admiral Yi gathered his captains and repeatedly had them pledge their willingness to fight.

		Hawley said it was not his intention to write a book that would be considered ``important’’ by scholars, but rather, he wrote it for a wider audience of general readers.
		To be sure, for scholars to really stand up and take notice of an English-language account of the Imjin War it would have to be based on original, classical Chinese and Japanese sources.

		The war that I have always wanted to learn more about in detail has finally been written in a 'more than you will ever need to know' detailed account in English by Mr.
		Although I did like the set-up of the first two chapters, I do wish the author could have explained more of how and why the Japanese were so superior in military techniques as opposed to the Koreans (ie-the Japanese were lifetime warriors after coming out of a feudal Japan, as opposed to the Koreans).
		Ruining Korea, almost bankrupting Japan, and fatally destabilising the shaky Ming dynasty in China, the so-called "Imjin" war was an event of crucial historical importance.

	FightingArts.com Forums: kyudo used in war between japan and the mongols?
		I looked up many many sites of the wars, and all the stories are basically the same, but not one of them mentions anything about kyudo.
		This superiority of the Continental weapon remained unchanged for centuries, as evidenced by the Japanese acknowledgement of the Korean composite bow being better than their yumi, during the Imjin War of 1592-98 AD/CE.
		Another indication of the essential failure of Japanese archery during the two Mongol Invasions in the 13th century is the fact that, after those wars, the bushi actually placed less emphasis on archery, and instead focused more on shock tactics with close weapons (yari, naginata, nagamaki, no-dachi, tachi, katana, etc).

		Most Korean sources are slient on the role played by the Chinese navy in the Imjin wars, instead focusing on achievement of Admiral Yi and his "turtle ships".
		I think it should be noted that the Chinese navy was likewise formidable, though of course did not play as larger role as the Koreans.
		At the onset of the war the ministry of works built 20 large warships, 100 medium-sized ships, and 50 flat-bottomed vessels.

		The Japanese invasion of Korea in 1592, known as the Imjin War, was one of the most tragic and traumatic experiences in Korean history.
		The purpose of writing The Book of Corrections (Chingbirok), as the author professes in his preface, was to prevent similar disasters from taking place in the future.
		His book, however, is much more revealing; it provides a lively perspective of the relationship, which has been often marked by conflicts and wars, of the three neighboring countries involved in the war—Korea, Japan, and China.
