The Imjin War was the largest

Imjin War and the War of Ukraine
.
The Imjin War was the largest war in Korean history, with an entire nation engulfed in war along with the Mongol invasion. Although we often see people looking down on Japan during this era, even in Europe, a country capable of waging a conquest war by mobilizing 300,000 troops in the late 16th century, loading their majority of them onto ships and completing supply networks. This was impossible for Joseon.
.
In any case, Joseon was not capable of going head-to-head when this Japanese military stormed to engulf Joseon. Despite the war on our soil, the number of troops was insufficient for the Japanese military, and they could not dare to fight more than the Suseong or defensive battles. Although Yi Sun-shin played an active role, he could not cut off the supply route of the Japanese military by blocking the Busan artillery, and although righteous soldiers fought hard, they did not face the Japanese military.
.
In the end, the Ming army's participation in the war was a major factor. Although the Japanese military broke its nose at the Byeokje Pavilion while recovering Pyongyang and running all the way to Seoul, the Japanese military is faced with a situation in which it has to change its strategy and direction of war. Except for Hideyoshi, who was determined to defeat the Ming Dynasty and even take care of India, the Japanese generals knew that this war should be completed as soon as possible.
.
The same was true of the Ming army. It was not a matter of whether Joseon retaliated against Japan or not, as long as there was no Japanese flag on the border of the Yalu River. Still, the only thing he struggled for in his life was Joseon's salvation, which somehow led to the Ming Dynasty's support and later became the main force of the battlefield, but no country wants to bleed its people in wars with other people. If the price of blood is high, it is not possible.
.
That is why the Ming and Japan negotiate. Aside from Joseon, the biggest victim and a party to the war, the two countries meet and engage in a compromise. At this time, one of the ridiculous conditions Japan made was to offer the 4th degree of Joseon. At first, the people of Joseon were not even aware of this condition of openly eliminating the country of Joseon. I was worried about what they were up to.
.
He wanted not only Shim Yoo-kyung, the negotiator, but also Lee Yeo-song, the commander of the Ming troops, or Song Eung-chang, the commander-in-chief of the Ming troops, to end the war quickly. He thus completely ignored the demands of the Japanese military and delivered them to his home country, and cheated the emperor that the Japanese military had withdrawn from the war even though they remained on the southern coast. It was none of their business whether war broke out again or Joseon was served. He even scolded King Seonjo for opposing the strengthening of the Joseon Dynasty. "Leave it to Gwanghaegun or at least separate rule."  
.
At that time, Joseon waged a tearful intelligence war to convey the truth to the Ming emperor. He even made a trick to let an interpreter carry the national book for fear of losing the national book to Song Eung-chang, who was sitting in Liaodong while sending an envoy. It was Yoo Seong-ryong who made this trick. How upset he must have been. A war is fought in our territory, and negotiations are between the Ming and Japan, and enemy forces are raging in our territory, and the generals of Ming are trying to end the war, regardless of whether it is true or not.  
.
Today's Ukraine case reminds us of the Japanese Invasion of Korea in 1592 (Imjin War). The pictures are so similar that it is hard for us to pick up the similarities one by one. The two neighboring countries are the U.S., Russia, China and Japan, which they chose as the strongest countries in the world. As a people of this country, how casual would this situation be in the second season of the Japanese Invasion of Korea in 1592 (Imjin War).
.
What's outrageous, however, is that some of the self-proclaimed progressives have persistently attacked Ukraine and disparaged Zelensky. Zelensky claims that he failed to prevent the war from happening in the first place, but Putin of Russia wanted to wage a war beyond the Pungshin Waterway that he twisted his body to invade Joseon. It is preposterous to see the self-proclaimed progressives using such disgusting logic as "There is a reason why the right person is right." Isn't it as if they are just biting their own ancestors while leaving the Pungshin Waterway alone.
.
According to their logic, Japan should not go to the 4th degree in order to end a war. If they say that they should have done anything to avoid a war, they should have avoided a war with Japan, which has risen to the ranks of the world powers, and made it "peacefully." Gojong, who gave up the Korean Empire to Japan, and Lee Wan-yong, the five Eulsa-like, politicians, and the Gyeongsul nationalities deserve to be praised as great men in textbooks. Oh, great men of peace. Your Majesty, your last name has been preserved our land and lives thanks to Prime Minister Lee Wan-yong's wisdom. Is that right? Is that true.
.
Zelensky defended his country by fighting against Russian aggression with courage unmatched by Korea's Syngman Rhee and his ancestors. His and the Ukrainian people's efforts discouraged the aggressor Russia's ambitions, even though he faced a sad situation where he could not participate in peace negotiations in his own land and had to accept the ridiculous demands of the great powers.
.
It is hard for me to understand why Koreans, who have a painful history among great powers, criticize him, especially progressives. What should I eat wrong to become an aggressor? You self-proclaimed progressives.
