Topic: Invasion of Korea

	First Manchu invasion of Korea - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It was followed by the Second Manchu invasion of Korea.
		While the first invasion was not as catastrophic to Korea as the second one in nine years time would be, it was bitterly resented by confucian statesmen and scholars who believed that it was treacherous for Korea to abandon Ming China after the Chinese assistance against Japan during Seven-Year war.
		This led to the second Manchu invasion of Korea in 1636.

		In accordance with the terms of surrender, Korea sent troops to attack Pi Island at the mouth of the Yalu River.
		Korea continued to take a defiant attitude, although privately, to the Qing Dynasty while she officially yielded obedience as they considered Manchus uncivilised barbarians.

	TIME: Korea - Not Too Late
		In South Korea's bustling capital of Seoul, surrounded by sawtooth granite hills, army jeeps carrying loudspeakers roared through the streets, urging soldiers: "Go and join your units immediately." Buses and trucks were commandeered by the army to transport troops to the front.
		Moscow was widely believed to have launched the Korea attack as a "reconnaissance of force," as a test of American determination.
		It was late, all right, for Korea, which was still in serious danger of being overrun by the Communists; it was late for all of Asia.

	CHAPTER I: Korea, Case History of a Pawn
		The Soviet-sponsored government of North Korea, having failed to conquer its southern neighbor by less violent means, invaded the Republic of Korea on 25 June 1950.
		The campaigns set in motion by the invasion of South Korea later were characterized as a "limited war." The fighting was deliberately confined in geographic terms, political decisions placed restrictions upon military strategy, and none of the belligerents, with the exception of the two Korean governments, used its full military potential.
		Korea's ice-free ports fronting the Sea of Japan were especially coveted by the Russians.

		Korea emerged with a record of 4 wins, 1 tie, and 2 losses, becoming the first Asian nation to play in the semifinals.

		Bradley tells Truman that a war with China is "the wr ong war, at the wrong place, at the wrong time, and with the wrong enemy." The State Dept. experts on the USSR, George Kennan and Charles Bohlen, urge not to cross the 38th parallel.
		While full-scale Chinese Communist intervention in Korea must be regarded as continuing possibility, a consideration of all known factors leads to the conclusion that barring a Soviet decision for global war, such action is not probable in 1950.
		The reasons we are sending Chinese troops to Korea are that, if the US occupies the Korean peninsula, the Korean revolutionary forces would be completely removed, the US Imperialists would become more belligerent and arrogant, and it would result in a situation unfavorable to China." Mao requests that Stalin provide air and logistical supports.

		Certainly, Korea is an issue that requires careful watching because of those massive conventional forces that are in such close proximity to each other and the conditions of the economy that we read about in North Korea.

		His domestic and foreign policies, however, proved to be successful in the face of the Japanese threat, mostly because they were cleverly directed by his brilliant wife, Queen Min (officially known as Empress Myeong-Song).

	The Madness of Hideyoshi
		Japan's inability to make war, Hideyoshi's inability to recognize Korea's military capability, as well as China's growing economy, the mission's lack of strategic gain, and his growing irrationality towards the end of his life prove this statement to be true.
		While there certainly was a possibility that the Hideyoshi invasions of Korea could have been successful, the chances of a successful invasion were slim.
		It is, therefore, conclusive to say that, when Hideyoshi invaded Korea, he was not looking to disadvantage rival daimyo as those whom he did trust were sent to Korea while those he did not never set foot in Korea.

		China asked its military to study a quick intervention in North Korea but decided that its relationship with the United States was more important than propping up the Stalinist state, with which it shares a border.

		But North Korea experts in China warn that a proposed naval blockade to prevent North Korean exports of missiles and other weapons of mass destruction will face kamikaze-type attacks from a desperate regime.

		Officials here declined to say whether the U.S. and South Korea would seek to deter North Korea by presenting the outlines of the plan to North Korea in what are known as the "general officer talks" in Panmunjom, site of truce meetings since the end of the Korean War in 1953.
		Those talks were initiated by North Korea in an attempt to establish a direct dialogue between the North Korean army and the U.S. command here but are seen by U.S. officials as a means for crisis management.
