Were they decendants of the Chinese or just a completely different existence themselves?
Ethnically, Koreans are thought to be Tungusic-Altaic like the Japanese and the Mongolians. This means these three groups, though now distinct ethnicities, share common ancestors. The homogenization of Korea may be explained by that fact that humans have lived in Korea for seventy thousand years and Korea existed as an isolated political identity for a thousand years.
Did Korea truely become Japanese during the occupation
I have been reading this book "Lost Names" by Richard E. Kim. I am trying to find examples of the fact that the Japanese failed at the attempt to make them like Japanese even with the forced changing of their last names to Japanese last names. Anyone have an idea on this?
Like Japanese,but Korean are more friendly than Japanese to China.
Japan is just the USA's dog!
did you notice that north and south korean athletes entered the olympic games united ?
