Military history of Korea
Encyclopedia : M : MI : MIL : Military history of Korea
Korea has a long military history going back several thousand years, with an extensive series of wars that involved invasions, civil discord, counter-piracy actions against medieval Japan, the first use of armoured battleships in seabattles, and the devastation of rebellions against the Joseon era Japanese invasions, the forced peace after the Russo-Japanese War as well as the Korean War, and activities in the Vietnam War, and peacekeeping actions abroad since then.
This article will look at the entire history of the Korean military in brief from ancient beginnings, through the late 19th century; and with great brevity on the 20th century before 1945.
