East-West Power Difference and Its Transformation

 White supremacy in the West seems to be taken for granted now, but it wasn't like that about 200 years ago. It seems that the Industrial Revolution of England at the end of the 18th century, the French Revolution, and the American Revolution were the turning point and were formed only when Britain defeated China in the Opium War in 1842. In the 1790s, British envoys visited Qianlong in Qing, which is said to be a historical encounter for world historians around the world. Emperor Qianlong didn't know that...) This trend became more pronounced after the mid-19th century, forming a "superior world" centered on the United States, Britain, France, and Germany... all Germanic and French ethnologist Gobino argued for race superiority. This period... I didn't expect Hitler to learn this and use it 70 years later. This race superiority and discrimination was once the European, Chinese, and Greeks of the Christian world...The difference with the back is that it is based on realistic and amazing development. Cars, trains, medical development, democracy... ...even the same European Jews, Southern Europeans, and Eastern Europeans discriminated against, let alone people of color who were almost like beasts. Italy in southern Europe, Russia in eastern Europe, and Japan in color managed to join the ranks of great powers. This theory of race superiority is greatly shaken by World War II. Russia, where Britain, France, and Germany all collapsed and looked down on, became a superpower, the Soviet Union, and dominated half of Europe. Italy also develops, and above all, the development of Jews and people of color stands out. With the Third World under British and French rule, the ruling class will at least be equal to the West. The ruling class is the ruling class of its own people, the Western and Japanese commodity markets? Economic Slave? The Jews founded Israel and took control of the superpower, the United States. No, I don't have to take control... ...but I'm starting to use my power. Since the '70s, Israel has won all Middle East wars, has nuclear weapons, and the United States has fallen half (?) under Jewish control, transforming the Jews from a 4,000-year-old weak to a strong one. The development of other races of color in the United States is remarkable... ...but they are not quite as successful as the Jews, Italians, Eastern Europeans, etc., who are discriminated against as Europeans and then incorporated into the ruling class. Black, Hispanic... No, Latin American. They are not economically advanced, but politically, they have been included in some of the mainstream of the United States since Martin Luther King and Malcolm X in the 1960s, and, by the way, racism itself was not legal or much of a taboo in the United States until the 65s. It's more of a given? Indeed, even the people of Southern Europe, Eastern Europe, and Jews are discriminated against. The people of God are only Anglo-Saxons and the same Germanic tribes that are close to them. However, Japan and China are the most powerful people of color. Japan overcame the yoke of defeat and emerged as the world's second-largest economy in the 1970s. It's democracy. China is one of the victors of World War II and one of the nuclear weapons clubs. In other words, these two countries have grown not just to the extent that people of color exert some power under the white people, but to the extent that they threaten the system itself. Japan has been depressed since the recession of 1991, but China, a country that still lives well, has started a new and amazing economic development by baton-touching. The first country of the future in the 80s is Japan... ...the first country of the future in the 90s is China... ... which, of course, stems from the vigilance of Westerners. This is because they are all one step below the former Soviet Union and the current United States. But it's the first time in 200 years that a colored nation is on par with a white one (the Empire of Japan is far below), so it's a shock of civilization... ...... ...but the problem is that both of these countries are our neighbors, and we're weaker than them. If white people versus colored people were 5 to 5 in the 18th century, they would have caught up with 10 to 0 in the 19th century and now 7 to 3 in the 20th century. I'm sure white supremacy is still. The economic development of Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, India, India, and Brazil are accompanied by the great American monster (which has been a compound race since the 1960s) and the discriminating Southern Europeans such as well. for this is how it is maintained. However, the "Govino=Hitler" ceremony, which is said to be a good Northern European German, has disappeared. This current change is encouraging, of course, for the colored people of our country, but it is inevitable that Japan and China (in other words, Jews, blacks and Hispanics in the United States) are leading the way. Tough Roh Moo Hyun....................................... There's no choice! I have no choice but to send free mercenaries to Iraq as the U.S. asks me to do so... ...but this is a situation between colored and white people.

The Holy One, Yi Sun-shin.

 There are many famous naval battles in world history. However, he always talks about Admiral Yi Sun-shin during the naval battle. In particular, our country and Japanese naval admirals are almost accepted as the god of the sea. By winning the Battle of Actium and winning Octavian's first emperor, Admiral Horatio Nelson, who blew Napoleon's dream of conquering England, trained the British fleet thoroughly to defeat the Spanish Armada, and defeated the Russian Baltic Fleet. Let's pick the four major world wars taught by the British and German Naval Academy. (As you all know, Britain was a maritime kingdom and the world's strongest naval tradition) The Battle of Salamis, the largest Galisian Battle in history, the Battle of Lepanto, the Battle of Trafalgar, and immediately after the Greco-Persian War, fought for supremacy in the Mediterranean. Admiral Yi Sun-shin's Battle of Hansando during the Japanese Invasion of Korea in 1592. They are considered one of the world's top four naval battles, and they study tactics. Here is a quote from General Heihachiro Togo of Japan, who devastated the Baltic Fleet in Russia. After the naval battle, people praised Nelson and Yi Sun-shin, saying, "You are an admiral that neither Nelson nor Yi Sun-shin can follow!" "You may be able to compare me to Nelson, but you can't compare me to Yi Sun-shin." Compared to him, I'm just a sergeant. 'I dare not follow Admiral Yi Sun-shin... (I heard that Admiral Yi Sun-shin is revered in Japan) And what Microsoft said when releasing the Age of Empire 2's expansion pack concourse is also a masterpiece. "Producers had to study history by producing this game. When I learned about Yi Sun-shin, I was really surprised. I can't believe there was a naval admiral in this small Eastern country that outpaced Nelson. He is so great." Jin Lin, a naval admiral of the Ming Dynasty, also came as a relief force during the Japanese Invasion of Korea. "If Lee Sun-shin was born in China, he would be a great general," he also recommended Lee Sun-shin. "When the war is over, let's go to China with me to serve as government officials."' If you are a general in a country like Ming Dynasty, wouldn't you be the Pentagon chief of the U.S. Department of Defense? Racism is the same as the Ming Dynasty and the United States now, but it is great to have people from countries on the periphery in a position to seize the world's military power and shake it. After Yi Sun-shin's naval warrior became known to the West, many strategists and strategists have praised his achievements with the highest praise, and a representative example is to listen to British Navy Lieutenant General G.A. Ballad. In his book, Ballard evaluated the Battle of Hansan and said, "This naval battle quickly ended Japan's ambition to invade China. This was because of the brilliant major established by the great admiral of Joseon. In a short period of just six weeks, he built an unprecedented major in naval battle history around the world. He destroyed the enemy's battle fleet, cut off the enemy's troops, wiped out the enemy's transport fleet, jeopardizing the posture of the enemy's ground forces winning the land war, and completely destroying the enemy's ambitious plans. Even Nelson and Blake could not do more than this commander, who was born in a very small country that had often been subjected to cruel foreign oppression, and who was not known abroad at all. It is a pity that Admiral Yi Sun-shin is not well known outside his homeland," he said, describing Yi Sun-shin as the greatest naval admiral in the history of naval warfare in the world. And in 1904, Russia.The Jeongja strategy, which was created by Donghyangpyeongpalang, a master of the modern Japanese navy that saved Japan by defeating the Russian Baltic Fleet in the Battle of Japan, was an imitation of the Hakikjin method of Yi Sun-sin. The effect of this tactic is to increase the hit rate of the warship by intensifying the target set at once and inflict a fatal blow on the enemy, which is the Japanese intensive multi-war method using Yi Sun-shin's crane. And this pavilion strategy was introduced to the Western world as a T-shaped strategy along the shape of the letters and became the main method of modern naval warfare until World War II. Chungmugong Yi Sun-sin's famous quote, "I still have 12 front lines," strongly suggested that 120 soldiers should not be eliminated from the king's secret land, as the Duke received a re-appointed letter of controller after the Battle of Chilcheonryang. The original text said, "Now that I still have 12 wires, I can do it if I fight with all my might." Although there are few fronts, the enemy will not dare to despise us unless I die." This is a remarkable strategic insight of merit that strongly advocated the survival, value, and utility of the navy.

Battle of Thermopylae Overview

 For many reasons, it took more than a decade for Persia to resume its war to avenge its defeat in the marathon. In the meantime, King Darius died, and his successor Xerxes intended to prepare for a large-scale invasion of Greece and to occupy and annex the Greek mainland after suppressing the rebellion in the empire. However, the southern city-states formed the Hellenic Federation against foreigners in 418 B.C. The idea of countering the Persian invasion in Athens was swift and almost voluntary. It was obvious that the Persian revenge would be concentrated in Athens. B.C. A large-scale plan to build warships in the late 480s allowed Athens to deploy 200 ships.  In B.C.481, the Athenians passed the Edict of Temistocles, based on Temistocles' claim that they thought they would look into the future. A lithographic engraving of this was discovered in 1598. Temistocles knew that it was difficult to stop the Persian Army, so he insisted that the focus should be on maritime warfare. The Edict of Temistocles appealed to focus all-out efforts on the introduction of Athenian citizens and the defense of the sea. Athens, which routinely focused so much on revolutionary maritime defense strategies in the era of dense armored infantry wars, not only tells how desperate the situation was at the time, but also shows Temistocles' ability to predict the strategic nature of the future war. The Persian threat made a dramatic alternative necessary. Religion also played an important role in making Athenian resolutions. The adoption of the maritime strategy was also a response to Apollo's trust in Delphi. When Xerxes' invasion became certain, the Athenians consulted him. Trusts are as follows.   The wooden walls will be safe for you and your descendants. Don't wait for the horse's hooves to step on. Don't expect any infantry coming on land. Turn your backs against your enemies and retreat.             Delphi's trust was sometimes ambiguous, but Temistocles persuaded the Athenians to be the warships of the fleet called wooden walls. The decision to introduce the city and rely on the fleet was made before the first meeting of the Hellenic Federation. The Athenians were able to delay the introduction when other Greek countries agreed to block the Persian army from the north. However, they did not give up their belief in the navy. The new allies - including Athens, Sparta and Corinth - pledged to cooperate under Sparta's overall command. Sparta's reputation for its commercial spirit and strong military power made Sparta the only option. After the unification of command and control, mainland Greeks were able to benefit from the weaknesses of the Ionian rebels in the past. In the spring of 480 B.C., Xerxes, who prepared 200,000 or more troops, began marching toward Greece. He rushed to Hellespont, connected the bridge with a warship, and crossed it. The Greeks would have had no choice but to admire the Persian Army's engineering skills far beyond what they had ever known. The Persian strategy was to push into mainland Greece with a huge army that the Greeks could not possibly think of as successful. Such an invasion was impossible to land everyone. The interdependence between the Persian Army and the fleet allowed Temistocles and the Athenians to have the idea that victory could be achieved in maritime battles. If the Persian fleet was defeated, it would force the army to retreat. However, Athens could not convince Sparta and other city-states of the wisdom of this strategy. From the outset, the Spartans were convinced that the best strategy was to build a wall across Corinth's East Moose, and to prevent the invasion of the Persian army by placing Greek allies behind it. Sparta had to put this plan aside, particularly by the city-states, who had not forgotten that some of their allies were further north than the line, and because of some remarkable political complexities. Sparta's enthusiasm for attack and its Northern strategy were limited, and Sparta, a master of armored infantry, could not agree with Athens to risk all its fate in the naval battle. However, Sparta agreed to send an army to the northern border of Thessaly. It was also a decision made because of the possibility of continuing to secure Thessaly's loyalty by doing so. However, when the troops reached Tempe, the position proved to be defenseless, and the allies retreated. After that, the allies decided to prevent the cruel advance of Xerxes' army by deploying an army to Thermopylae. There was a small passage connecting the mountains and the sea in Thermopylae, a path that was likely to be invaded by the Persian army. In the sea outside Artemisium, the Greek navy was able to stop the Persian navy, and this strategy was just to stop the giant of Persia from advancing. If the Greeks were able to stop Xerxes' attack, the Greeks could reasonably assume that Xerxes might give up the invasion. for it was strategically impossible for King Xerxes to keep the Persian forces and fleet in northern Greece for a long time. If the invasion had been delayed, it would have caused great problems for Persia. Looking back later, it was undoubtedly too naive of the Greeks to think that they could stop a powerful Persian attack from Thermopylae. However, in many ways, Thermopylae and Artemisium were the most ideal places for the Hellenic Federation countries to choose. The path of Thermopylae was in some parts only enough for a wagon to pass through. The Persians were unable to expand their combat ships in such areas, and in such areas, the long-term presidential election would lead to waste of manpower. Similarly, in the narrow sea outside Artemisium, light, fast, and more numerous Persian fleet warships (1,200 three-stage routes) could be blocked by Greek warships (325 three-stage routes). The 7,000 Greek troops, led by Leonidas, king of Sparta, camped on the road. It was not until Leonidas got there that he noticed a plan that the Persian army would use to encircle him and attack his rear. (The translation was strange, meaning he was concerned that the Persian might enter there.) Leonidas had 1,000 troops guard the path. When Xerxes' army reached the main aisle, Xerxes could not believe that so few troops were coming to block the way, and waited for four days, expecting the Greek army to step down on its own rather than fight. The Confederate army of southern Greece was terrified and urged to retreat to Istmus, but Leonidas knew that if Sparta did not show genuine efforts to block this passage, the Greeks in the north might surrender to Persia or Medize, which the Greeks referred to as Persia. So he kept his troops quiet, asked for support, and prepared to defend his position. Unable to endure the delay in time, Xerxes decided to break the way with troops. On the fifth day, the Persian army began marching down a narrow aisle, and in this narrow area, they found that they could not encircle the Greeks and that they could not withstand the battle of the heavily armed Greek armored infantry. The Greek army had a longer spear and was well trained in how to use it.  On the first day of the battle, Xerxes lost 10,000 troops and was unable to push Leonidas and his troops out despite the Persian forces with whips pushing them from behind. Herodotus describes Leonidas as using deceptive tactics to attract the Persian army to a more disadvantageous terrain.    The Spartan soldiers fought well in a way that was worth recording, and they showed that they had a much better battle record than the enemy. Sometimes by turning their backs, they seemed to escape all of them, and by making the barbarians scream loudly and follow along, the Spartans rounded up as they approached and destroyed many of their enemies by attacking them head-on. The next day, Xerxes thought that the Greek Army would be very tired of the previous day's battle, and that he would be able to send in troops that had not suffered from the battle.  However, Leonidas was able to subdue the Persian army on the first day because he allowed his troops to rest at regular intervals by sending the expeditionaries supported by the allies into battle one after another.   At this point, the Greek deception worked. That night a traitor of the Greek soldiers appeared and fled to the camp of Xerxes with the ambition to receive compensation from Xerxes, telling him of a secret passage to where he could attack the rear of the Greek position. Xerxes moved his troops through this road during the night. At dawn, the Persian soldiers could reach the top of the mountain, and when Leonidas, who was stationed there first, detected the poison of the Persian arrow, they retreated to a higher place to defend their position.The Persian army ignored it completely and instead attacked the Greek soldiers stationed on the coast. The scouts told Leonidas about the Persian maneuvers, and Leonidas decided to retreat most of the other troops elsewhere and remained heroically there with 300 Spartans and hundreds of reinforcements to protect the rear of the retreating troops. It was his duty, and he fulfilled his duty faithfully.

In the famous battle of the third day Leonidas fell, and the two younger brothers of Xerxes were also killed. In the attack from both the front and the rear, the Greek soldiers were wiped out, and later, in honor of their honor, monuments were erected there. The tombstone was engraved in the following inscription. "Go to Sparta and say, Gilded Son," "We lie here to be loyal to Sparta's orders," the battle of Thermopylae was worthy of Sparta's legend. Soldiers surrounded by enemy forces without a chance sometimes fight tough battles. However, this is an exception. In general, they are destroyed. The last battle of Spartan soldiers is unusual because the best soldiers fought for their lives in suicide-like situations to protect the retreating soldiers under Leonidas' orders and did not disperse their formation.  This battle is a perfect testimony to the training and discipline of the Spartan military system. This is what most Greeks admit, and is sometimes ignored as a fanciful and romantic event by rationalist historians. Most of the troops would collapse even if Spartan troops faced a much weaker threat than they faced in Thermopylae. Meanwhile, according to Herodotus, the Greek Navy challenged the Persian Navy in the Artemisium Sea for three days, as in the Battle of Thermopylae... and then omitted... Arthur Ferrill, where the "Door of Fire" was introduced below, so I moved on to the Battle of Thermopylae.   In a way, it seems similar to the Japanese Invasion of Korea in 1592. The difference is whether the king takes the lead or fights.

A brief history of the Huns

 The history of the Huns is so long that it dates back to the 9th century B.C. and threatened China under the name of Hum Yun. Their performance was such an object of fear for the Chinese that the poem contained the phrase "The reason why we lost our homes and the reason why we couldn't rest for a while was because of Humyun." The heart of the Huns was between the Orhon-Selenga River in what is now the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region of China and the Karafum Desert and the Ordoz region of the Outugen Plain, which the ancient Turks regarded as sacred areas. By the 4th century B.C., the Huns' name was strongly highlighted in history. Huns greatly threatened Yeon, and in particular, Huns and Jin collided repeatedly because they were adjacent to the center of Jin. The Jungwon dynasties tried to prevent the invasion of Huns by building their own generals, but the civil war between them did not have much effect. In 221 B.C., the relationship between Hun and Jungwon changed rapidly when Qin's Emperor Xi ended the 549-year Spring and Autumn period and unified China for the first time in history. In 215 B.C., Emperor Xi gave 300,000 troops to General Mongyum to attack the Huns, and the Huns, who were pushed back by this offensive, abandoned Ordoz and temporarily retreated north of the Gobi Desert. In order to effectively cope with their invasion, Emperor Xi, who drove out the Huns, newly renovated the generals built by each country during the Warring States period to build the famous Great Wall. However, after the death of Emperor Xi, led by Jin Seung and Wu Guang's Rebellion, all parts of China were embroiled in a whirlwind of rebellion, so they had no choice but to neglect the Hun issue. At that time, Tengri Kutu Seonwoo, the ruler of the Hun, was officially named Tengri Kutu Seonwoo. When Seonwoo, the son of heaven, favored the son of the concubine and tried to hand over the throne to him, he also marked Modon, the eldest son (Mukteuk, or Mukdol). The Mongolian original name was Bator) protested. In the power struggle between the father and son, Tumen was killed by Modon and Modon became the forerunner of the Hun. Modon Seonwoo reorganized the state and strengthened the internal affairs, conquered the surrounding tribes, destroyed Dongho, which reigned as a powerhouse in the western part of Dongmongol and Manchuria, and conquered the spirit people living around the Yenisei River and Lake Baikal. It did not stop here, but advanced west again, defeating the Wolji people living in the Cheonsan Mountain Range and the Gamsuk region and driving them away to Central Asia. In parallel with Invasion from North Korea, the Ordoz region of Hanam, which had been lost to the emperor, was restored, and cities in northern China were also seized. At this time, the number of strong Huns exceeded 300,000, and at that time, China was unable to fight against Huns due to the civil war between Hangwoo and Yubang. The war between Modon Seonwoo and Han Gojo breast, which took place between 201 and 199 BC, ended with Modon's unilateral victory. In particular, at the Battle of Baekdeungsan Mountain in 200 B.C., Modon Seonwoo surrounded 300,000 troops of Han Gojo for seven days, including 400,000 troops of Hunno and surrendered Korean troops. Tired of the cold and hunger, the Han army suffered 80,000 casualties, and eventually, Han Go-jo surrendered on humiliating conditions that he offered Modon Seonwoo grain and silk every year as tribute and married Modon Seonwoo. Modon Seonwoo's conquest war expanded further, and by subjugating Wolji and Oson in northern Turkistan, almost all peoples of the Asian grasslands were unified by the Huns. The border of the Hun Empire formed a huge territory connecting the northern part of the Korean Peninsula to the east, Lake Baikal to the north, the Aral Sea to the west, the Gisu of China, the Tibetan Plateau, and the Karakoram Mountains to the south. The 60-year-old subordinate relationship between Hun and Han ended with the enthronement of Han Mu-je. In 133 B.C., Han Mu-je ambushed 100,000 soldiers in Ma-eup to lure Sun-woo, a military retainer of the Hun, but failed, and the two great powers immediately entered the war. The war between the Huns and the Republic of Korea lasted for 43 years. The extreme wars that took place everywhere ended in the destruction of the two, with the names Hanamjijeon, Haseojijeon, Maknamjijeon, and Makbukjijeon. The national power of Han, handed down by the economy and problems, was consumed for the war of the Great Chest, and the Hanmuje was eager to raise arms. At this time, a vicious fiscal exploitation policy emerged to tax salt, iron plows, and even rice bowls. This theory of salt iron later became the beginning and scripture of the national resale system. As the situation worsened so much, Han's social discipline reached its worst level that even ordinary crimes were resolved by paying money. When Hanmuje died in 87 B.C., the population of Han decreased from the initial 40 million to 20 million. In the end, the Bank of Korea went on the path of collapse due to unreasonable violent labor. The situation of the Huns was not easy. The constant war with the Korean Peninsula resulted in numerous deaths, 200,000 people being captured and taken to the Korean Peninsula, and the central Asian city-states, which used to be the money line for the Huns, fell under the control of the Han, and the Hun's economy was devastated. In addition, the subordinates who saw the weakness of the Hun began to rebel. At that time, the subjects who rebelled against the Huns were the spirits around Lake Baikal, the scholars along the Shiramuren River (the descendants of Dongho, who was destroyed by the Huns), and Oson, north of the Silk Road. The misfortune of the Hun Empire never stopped. The expeditionary forces, who went to conquer Oson, suffered a terrible snowstorm and self-destructed before the battle, and in 68 B.C., the worst natural disaster occurred, leading to an extreme situation in which 60-70% of the people and livestock died. The departure of neighboring subordinate countries and repeated natural disasters gradually caused internal conflicts in the Huns. Starting with the death of Heo Ryeo-kwon in 60 B.C., this internal conflict expanded to a state of civil war in which five Seonwoos, including pottery, Hogae, Duri, Ocha, and Hohanya, were scattered, leading to endless confusion. In 56 B.C., four Seonwoos were defeated one after another, and Hohanya Seonwoo managed to resolve the confusion. However, this time, King Hushun in the west, the cousin of pottery, became independent and became Gyujin Seonwoo, and Hohanya's older brother, Hodo Osa, the port king in the east, became independent and called him Seonwoo whether he would lose. From 54 B.C., the forces of Jilji gradually became stronger, defeated Gyujin, and then attacked Hohanya. Hohanya, attacked by Jilji, fled south with his subjects, surrendered to the Han's predecessor, and became his servant. In return, Hohanya ruled the border area of Owon-gun in northwest China. As a result, by 55 B.C., the Hun's power was completely divided and further weakened, and the attack on China was completely lost. At this time, the breakthrough of the Jill was in the west. First of all, Jilji, who defeated Hohanya and took the throne of Sunwoo, continued to advance west in 51 B.C. and merged Ogal of the Silk Road and Gyeongon of the Xinjiang Uighur region. After subjugating the Qiu River and southern Kazakhstan, which were threatened by Oson's invasion, they attacked Oson and conquered a vast area of the Aral Sea. In 41 B.C., the capital of the new Hun Empire was built in Gyeongon between the Chu River and the Talas River, and castles were built to defend. This served as an opportunity for Turkic races to settle in earnest in Turkistan, which connects Iran, Afghanistan, India, and East and West Europe. Furthermore, Fergana and Bactria belonged to the Huns, and Jilji prepared to attack the kingdom of Parthia, which connects the southwest border to the Anatolian Peninsula. However, Sunwoo's grand dream did not last long. Before the effective governance system for vast conquests was completely overhauled, it was attacked persistently by Han. After taking control of Ganggeo and Oson, Han launched an attack on Jilji Seonwoo in Ganggeo in 36 B.C. Seventy thousand Korean soldiers dispatched from the Hun and other subjugated countries fought a fierce battle surrounding the Hun city on the Talas River. Eventually, the city was completely destroyed, 1,518 Huns including Jilji were killed, and the other Huns were scattered. The Huns, who were dispersed in search of new residences due to the death of Zilji Seonwoo, further advanced and settled in Central Asia, formed a state in the eastern Sogdiana, the Dnepr River, and the Aral Sea. The Huns, who enjoyed a peaceful life without much friction with neighboring countries for about two centuries, advanced further from Central Asia to Europe due to changes in natural climate, depletion of ecosystems, and pressure from their compatriots, the Aftals, who were driven out of North China around 350. The first time the Huns appeared in Europe was 374 A.D., and from then on, the Huns were called Huns. In 374, the Huns conquered the Alans, who had been powerful in South Russia and the Caucasus under the leadership of commander Balamir, and in the same year attacked the Kingdom of Dongot, which now occupies Ukraine. Armanarik, the king of Dongot at the time, committed suicide, and the Huns appointed Hurimund as king to rule Dongot. As a result, the East Goths were ruled by the Huns for 80 years. The Huns' amazing mobility and excellent horseback riding tactics, which threatened Han, the strongest power in East Asia, were fully demonstrated in Western Europe. The Huns defeated the Seogoths on the Dneffre River, and in 375, King Atanarik, along with the remaining forces, sought protection from the Roman Empire and moved to what is now Bulgaria across the Don River. The Huns' continued attacks and strong military forces were unable to counter any Germanic people at the time, which led to countless Germanic peoples fleeing their territories and moving into the Roman Empire, which was the beginning of a great migration of the Germans in history. Before this, the Roman Empire was practically divided, and the invasion of the West Goths further promoted it, and in 395, the Roman Empire was finally divided into east and west. The emergence of the Huns and the rapid conquest of Eastern Europe caused extreme fear among Europeans. The exaggerated description and hostility of the Huns in Latin or Greek literature reflect this well. The Huns, who continued to advance, crossed the Tuna River in the spring of 378 with an army composed of the Goths, the Allans, and the Germanic Taipali who were dispatched from the conquering land, and reached Thracia without resistance from the Romans. But the first step in Rome's territory, However, the Huns' reserve forces, which took their first steps into Roman territory, were merely reconnaissance avant-garde troops. At the same time, another unit of Hun was conducting a raid on the Hungarian meadow. At this time, many peoples in Eastern Europe, threatened by the Huns' attacks, began to gradually move into the Roman compound. The Markomanni, Kuad, Iranian nomads, Sarmatians, and the Visigoths of Transylvania, who lived in Austrian arable land, invaded the Roman compound in 381 through different channels. On the other hand, Germanic tribes and Iranian bashtarna threatened the south coast and Italy along the Alps in western Hungary. The Huns began their full-fledged invasion of Rome in the spring of 395, when Roman Emperor Theodosius I died and Rome and East and West were divided. The Huns, who launched attacks across the two fronts, pressed East Rome from the Balkans toward Thracia, and another main force from the Caucasus to the Anatolian Plateau. In particular, the Anatolian expedition was led by the eastern legions of the Hun Empire, based in the Don River basin, and was led by two commanders, Bashik and Kurshik. The expedition caused extreme tension and fear not only in the Eastern Roman Empire but also in the Sasanjo Persian Empire due to the size of the army and the influence of the reorganization of the situation in neighboring countries. The Huns' elite troops started from the Erzurum region, passed through the valleys of Karasu and Euphrates, and advanced to Melitene (now Malatia) and Kilicia (now Chukurova). After occupying Edessa (now Urfa) and Antachian fortresses, the most important strategic locations there, they moved south to Syria and attacked Tyros (now Sur). Then he went back to Jerusalem. Hun's army turned north again in the fall of 395, arriving in Central Anatolia, ravaging Caisserie and Capadocia and Galatia on the plains of Ankara, where it returned to its northern base along the Azerbaijan-Baku road. In 398, the Hun army carried out another expedition to Anatolia, but the Eastern Roman Emperor Arcadius I had to stand by helplessly and watch the Hun army invade his territory. The rapid expedition of the Huns to Anatolia and the subsequent destruction and killing are particularly evident in the negative tales and dances of the Huns written by the Eastern Christian Church clergy in the region. Meanwhile, in the western camp around 400 years, the Huns expedition was led by Commander Uldin. Uldin, a descendant of Balamir, laid the foundation for the Huns' foreign policy that continued until the time of Attila. The basis of his policy was to maintain friendly relations with the West while threatening the Eastern Roman Empire. This was because the primary goal was to block East-West Roman relations, prevent the emergence of political forces threatening Hun, and effectively check more powerful Eastern Rome. In addition, because the neighboring peoples attacking Western Rome were hostile to Hun, Hun tried to target them in alliance with Western Rome. When Uldin, who was pressuring various ethnic groups scattered in Eastern Europe, appeared along the Tuna River with a large army, a second ethnic movement began. Visigoths, who were attacked by the Vandal and Huns, flocked to the Italian border. Stilico, a Roman general from the Vandal, defended Rome in April 402 by struggling to defeat the Alaric-led Seogoth army, but was unable to effectively cope with the ongoing attacks of the surrounding peoples. Finally, General Radagiasus of Dongot united several Germanic tribes, including Bandal, Suebi, Cuad, and Burgund, who were driven out by the Huns to attack Rome. The Huns intervened when Italy was devastated and even General Stilico lost the Battle of Fabia. In the fall of 406, Roman and Uldin-led Hun's army won a great victory at the Battle of Paesule in southern Florence and executed Radagiasus, saving the West dramatically from the crisis. As a result, the power of the Huns vibrated throughout Europe. The Bandal, Allan, Suebi, and Sarmatians moved across the Rhine toward Gaul, avoiding the Huns' threat. Hun's Western European management has now become more vibrant as political and military obstacles have been removed. Uldin was the king who ruled the western part of Hun. He continued to threaten the Byzantine by crossing the Tuna River in 404–405 and securing a bridgehead in the southern part of the river in 409. In addition, according to Greek literature, Uldin showed off the power of the Hun Empire by declaring to the Governor-General of Trachia, who was dispatched for peace negotiations with Hun, that he would conquer all the territory from where the sun rose to where the sun set. 410 With the death of Uldin, the rule of the Hun Empire was delegated to Carathon. He was active in Hun's eastern management for about a decade from 412 to 422. 422 was the same year as the beginning of a new era in the history of the Hun Empire. In this year, the four brothers of the Hun family, Luga, Munjuk, Aibars, and Octar, competed for power with each other, and Luga took the throne. And with Munjuk's death, the other two brothers were sealed by the local Elig (King Bun, respectively. Luga, who inherited Uldin's policy, defeated the Byzantine army in 422 when the Byzantine attempted to make an expedition to the Balkans against Hun's infighting and subjugation, and imposed an annual donation of 350 libres (Libre = 450 grams). In 423, Eastern Roman Emperor Theodosius II (408-450) launched an invasion of Rome against Western Roman Emperor Valentian III, who ascended to power at the age of four. When the Army and Navy of East Rome advanced to Italy, the West asked the Huns for help. Luga led 60,000 cavalry to the Italian front. At this time, the Roman Senate abolished the young emperor and appointed Johannes as its new emperor. At the time, Aetius, a 35-year-old Western general, quickly joined Lucca's camp to escape the war in Western Rome. Hun's invasion forced the Byzantine army to pay heavy war compensation instead of the ruins of Rome by evading and retreating from a hopeless war. In 432, Aetius fled the Hun Empire to escape the attack of his political opponent Bonifacius, who fought against the African half-moon king Geisserik. This fact disproves that the Hun Empire, along with Lucca's strong governance, had a direct influence on Rome's internal and external policies. In the spring of 434, Luga died and Attila and Bleda took over. Attila, who was 40 years old at the time of his ascension as king of the Hun Empire, was raised by his uncle Luga when his father, Munjuk, died early. At the same time, he participated in numerous conquest wars and had an opportunity to grasp the circumstances of various races and countries around him, and he was able to build up his virtues as a ruler and experience in state management. Attila, along with his brother Bleda, succeeded to rule the Hun Empire. Bleda was romantic and enjoyed art, and sovereignty, including military operations and establishment of foreign relations, was exercised by Attila. Uncle Aibar and Octar continued to enjoy the status of the former King Luga era as wealthy kings in the eastern and western regions, respectively. Bleda died around 445 after participating in the empire for 11 years as Attila's collaborator, and rumors circulated that Attila was killed. In the spring of 434, when the Byzantine mission dispatched by Theodosius II reached the Hun border, King Louga died and Attila welcomed them. Attila greeted the Byzantine envoy on horseback on the wall of Constantia on the north bank of Tuna, opposite the fortress of Margus in the Byzantine territory, firmly conveying Hun's requirements for peace. First, the Byzantine must cease contact and solidarity with Hun's subjects. Second, send back those who fled from Hun to the Byzantine immediately. Third, trade deals between the two countries should be conducted only in designated border villages. Fourth, the annual contribution to the Byzantine Hun will be doubled to 700 libre (about 315 kg). This was called the Treaty of Constantinople. Theodosius II accepted the peace agreement unconditionally and handed over the fugitives to Hun as the first step in implementing the agreement. Attila imprinted his authority and prestige on the Byzantine and other neighboring countries by executing them in Karsus, Trakia, within the Byzantine territories. Then Attila traveled to the eastern part of the empire and crushed the Sharagurian rebellion along the Volga River in 435. By this time, the eastern center was on the Dneffre River, and the western center was in the Tuna region. The territory incorporated into the Hun Empire covered a vast area from the Balkans, Caucasus to the Baltic coast, and from the Ural Mountains to the Alps, with 45 subjugated races. The subordinates were merely members of the Hun as a political unity, maintained their own language and customs, and were ruled by tribal chiefs, governors, and kings of the same race at the ethnic, ethnic, and national levels. Until the middle of the 5th century, political stability continued within the Hun Empire. At this time, due to the great migration of the Germanic tribes, many ethnic groups traveled through the Western Roman compound to commit atrocities and plunder, and farmers in distress rebelled, and the country was in trouble. Then Rome sent Aetius again to ask Hun for reinforcements. The two-year peasant revolt managed to execute the ringleader and subdue the disturbance with the help of soldiers sent by Aetius and Attila. But this time King Gundikar of the Burgundians invaded Belgium and threatened the western part of Hun. Under the command of Octar, the king of the western part of Hun, Hun's army won the battle between Hun and the Burgundians, with 20,000 Burgundians, including King Gundikar. This war became the subject of the famous medieval German epic Nibelungen Song. As a result of the battle in which the main forces of the Germanic tribes were defeated by Hun, many ethnic groups such as Burgund, Bayabur, Frank, and Longobard were newly placed under Hun's influence. After 440, Attila's attack on the Byzantine was further strengthened. This was due to Theodosius II's refusal to repatriate fugitives from Hun without thoroughly complying with the Constantine Agreement. Theodosius stimulated Hun by not repatriating Arnegisilhus from the Goths among Hun's prisoners, but by appointing him as a general and sending him to Thracia on the border of Hun.In addition, trading principles on the border market were often violated by Greek merchants. In particular, Bishop Margos robbed Hun's tomb near Constantia, and the Huns' ill feeling toward the Byzantine reached its peak. At this time, Geyserik, the Asiatic king of North Africa, asked Atilla for reinforcements against the Byzantine, which prevented them from entering the Mediterranean. For this reason, the Hun army, led by Attila, went on the first Balkan expedition starting with the occupation of Margos, took over Singidunum and Naisus, now Belgrade, and stopped its advance in Thracia through Western mediation and re-entered an agreement with the Byzantine. Aethius, the powerful ruler of the West, made sure to abide by Theodosius' peace agreement and sent his son Carpillio to the court of Hunting as a guarantee. Attila, who accepted Aetius' proposal, took over the Byzantine fortifications scattered along the Tuna River and completely destroyed the Balkan fortresses that could be a base of attack against Hun. In 445, the death of his brother Bleda brought Attila to the top of power in name and reality. By complete military control of the region from West Asia to Central Europe, there was no force against it, including East and West Rome. However, when the Byzantine Empire violated the agreement with Hun again, Attila attempted the second Balkan expedition in 447. Attila's army attacked the Byzantine compound from two directions, capturing Sardika, Philipopolis, Marciano Polis, and Arcadiolis, and plundered each city. The Huns continued to march to Thermopylae in Thessaly and lay in Atira (now Buyuk Chekmeze outside Istanbul) to surround Constantinople. When the situation became urgent, Theodosius sent Anatolius, the political officer, to Attila to propose a truce. Known as the Anatolian Agreement, the ceasefire stipulates that the two trade markets should not station Byzantine troops in the five-day south of Thuna, and that the two countries should pay Hun 6,000 libres (about 2,700 kg) in compensation for the war and triple their annual contribution should be doubled to 2,100 libres (about 945 kg). Because the Byzantine finances were incapable of paying such enormous war compensation and seniority, Theodosius conspired to murder Attila, but information was leaked and failed. Attila's attention, however, was more focused on Western Rome, which was weakened by internal strife than on Eastern Rome. Attila's military aid to Western Rome was last suspended in 439. While faithfully fulfilling his contributions to Hun, Seoma was preparing for a showdown with Hun, on the other hand, centered on commander Aetius. Attila thus approached carefully and worked hard to build up his military strength. In 448, when the two-year military build-up and political stability came to an end, they finally launched a diplomatic offensive against the West. First of all, Attila announced that she would accept Honoria, the younger sister of Emperor Valentian III (425–455), who once sent her an engagement ring after her marriage was decided. and asked for the Gaul (now France) province as a dowry for the wedding gift. When Valentian and Aetius rejected Attila's request, Attila used it as a pretext for invading the West. In early 451, the Hun army, which began its expedition from the center of Hungary to the west, had a size of 80,000 to 100,000 people. Germanic and Slavic subjugation forces of the same size as Hun joined, and the scale increased to about 200,000. By the time 200,000 Hun Allies crossed the Rhine from three directions and entered Gaul in mid-March 451, Italy, Aetius's Roman army had formed a large army of the same size as Hun, forming a group of Burgundy, Sogot, and Franks against Hun. Finally, on April 7, Hun conquered Metis and Durocottoroom and confronted Aetius, who was stationed there at Aurelianum (now Orléans) near Paris. However, the showdown between the West and Hun and the two major powers of the Western world took place in Catalanum on June 20, 451. After a fierce battle that lasted all day, both sides ended without a winner or loser, leaving 165,000 dead. European historians have described this battle as a victory for Rome since the 19th century, in which the Roman army was not destroyed and the Hun retreated. However, another study revealed that the Roman chain of command collapsed on the night of the war, and Aetius himself was surrounded by the Hun camp, isolated, and finally escaped, and the Franks and the Visigoths, who died in the Roman army, were severely damaged and retreated. As a result, Hun's invasion of Western Rome devastated Gallia, which served as a military base for the Roman Empire, blocking the rear supply lines of Western Rome. The weakening of Aetius' position after this war is also very suggestive in relation to the victory or defeat of the war. Attila's army returned to the capital city of Pannonia about 20 days after leaving Gaul. And a year later, he carried out another large-scale expedition to Italy. According to Prospertiro's records, who was the attendant of Pope Leo I, Aetius, who lost his defense against Attila's attack, continued to advance without resistance, recommended Emperor Valentian to leave Italy and flee. In the spring of 452, Attila led a large army of 100,000 people across the Alps to the plains of Venice today. He captured the castle of Aquilea and marched south again, conquering the area of Aemilia, and reaching the outskirts of Ravenna, the capital of the Western Roman Empire at that time. Urgent by the unrest of the terrified people and the attack of the enemy, the Western Roman Empire accepted the Pope and Senate's proposal for peace and urgently dispatched a delegation. In mid-July 452, a delegation of Pope Leo I visited Atilla, which was located on the banks of the Minshio River and the Po River. On behalf of the Western Roman Emperor and the Christian world, the Pope politely requested that the destruction of Rome be restrained. Attila promised not to devastate Rome in terms of cultural protection, recalling the precedent of advancing to the suburbs of Constantinople five years ago and withdrawing even before the occupation of the Byzantine capital. Attila believed that the Pope's visit had already been placed under his rule like the Byzantine Empire. This is evident in the record of Priscus' message of Romulus, the Western envoy who visited Hun's capital in 448, suggesting that East and West Rome was already under his rule by revealing that the next target of attack was the Sasanian Persian Empire. However, his dream of becoming a world empire did not come true. After returning from an expedition to Italy, Attila died suddenly on the night of her wedding with Erika (Ildico, Hildico), the daughter of the German Emperor. Attila's reputation and fear of it spread throughout Europe. His novels, legends, paintings, plays, operas and sculptures poured out of Italy, Gaul, Germanic, British and Scandinavia. A new Attila study in the late 20th century highlights the fact that he was a great political leader of his time, with great virtues, governance, excellent international sense and exceptional commanders, while being disparaged as a thorough barbarian and predator by the closed Christian community of the Middle Ages. After Attila's death, the Hun Empire was sharply weakened by internal strife over the succession to the throne. Attila's son, Prince Elak, was killed in a battle in Pannonia with the rebellious Germanic Allied Forces, and Dengizik lost his life in a battle against the Byzantine Empire. Realizing that the Huns were difficult to settle in Europe, Irnek led the war-torn Huns to the west coast of the Black Sea. Under Irnek's leadership, the Huns appeared on the plains of South Russia at the time, and joined the Bulgarians and Mazars (Hungarians), who settled in the Balkans and Central Europe to build the country, giving them many political, military and cultural influences. For this reason, Arafat, the chief who led the Mazarites to settle in Hungarian soil and established a kingdom, claimed to be a descendant of Attila, and the Hungarians still value Attila as a great monarch.

Is Korea's response to Dokdo slyly?

 Korea's response to Dokdo is sly ========================================================= FYI, I am one of the people who have interest and affection for Dokdo enough to submit a thesis on Dokdo in my university graduation thesis, and it is frustrating to see people like you who have affection for Dokdo but do not understand Korea's Dokdo policy. Therefore, I would like to talk about how effective and appropriate Korea's Dokdo policy is. I talk a lot about Dokdo with a Japanese friend I'm close to, but he rather says Korea's Dokdo policy is "too sneaky." Now, let's solve them one by one. What do you think is the way for Korea to be recognized by the international community that Dokdo belongs to us? Do you think it would be okay if we just insist that it is ours and threaten Japan as if we were willing to go to war? Do you believe that our country can win a war against Japan, and even a naval war? Unfortunately, the only way we can really make Dokdo our "authorized land" is to win by trial at the International Court of Justice. And the most important thing when trying in the International Court of Justice is who has been "real possession" for so long, not historical issues or strength. Korea has already owned Dokdo for 50 years, and it is necessary to maintain it as a "real estate" rather than a "disputed area" for as long as possible before it is presented to the judicial court. Therefore, the Korean government is trying not to respond to Japan's provocations and not to make them an issue. If the Korean government becomes angry at Japan's provocations and turns Dokdo into a "controversial area," the 50-year-old tower will be in vain. And it is advantageous to delay the introduction to the International Court of Justice as much as possible to increase the "real ownership period" at the time of the introduction. I can guarantee that 100 years of real ownership will be 100% our land. In addition, I personally evaluate that this policy of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was the best option that Korea, an internationally weak country, could choose as a consistent policy before Park Chung-hee. Another thing I'd like to talk about is what you misunderstand. The fact that Dokdo is protected by riot police, not by marines...Some people are misunderstanding. The Japanese are rather unhappy with this. Police protecting means "inside" rather than "outside." Which country in the world sends non-military police to places that are not on their land... ...FYI, there are no soldiers on most of the small islands in the south or west coast of Seoul, but there are police. It is said that the Marine Corps should go because it is a border area, but the police will protect the border with the enemy country, that is, the island in the border area unless it is the same place as Baengnyeongdo Island. In other words, the police's protection also means "natural Korean land" that does not need to be disputed. I'm explaining it because it's unfortunate that Koreans misunderstand the judgments that are so wise and wise that they seem angry to the Japanese. For your information, the Korean government's avoidance of detailed explanations like mine actually means to prevent "issue" as much as possible. People who don't know the hidden meaning of this, and who don't even know if it's for the Japanese, keep trying to "issue" ... I feel regretful. Under the current circumstances, if Dokdo becomes a "controversial area" and is presented to the International Court of Justice, the probability of winning is very low. A wise general chooses a time and place in his favor and fights a war. Do you know what Japan wants now? I hope Dokdo will become known worldwide as a "territorial dispute" area. That's how you can file a lawsuit in the International Court of Justice. However, now we are telling the world that Dokdo has become Japanese territory and that it is a territorial dispute zone. It means that Japan is steadily helping us. If the International Court of Justice judges, will our country win? I'm sorry, but I'm not. Currently, one of the 15 judges of the International Court of Justice is Japanese, and Japan supports most of its operating expenses. And lobby is the best country in the world. Even if the truth is in Korea, the outcome of the trial is unpredictable. This is why the government is not able to respond strongly to the Dokdo issue. Of course it's an excuse... For your information, can I tell you one more thing? If Japan legally incorporates Dokdo into Japanese territory... Many of the islands that Japan illegally occupied during the Pacific War were legally incorporated into Japanese territory for the same reason as Dokdo... If you think Japan is only looking at the fishing grounds on the east coast and being cursed at, you are mistaken. Japan will continue to make absurd remarks about Dokdo. Except for Dokdo, we can occupy many islands along the Pacific coast. The more we do that, the more we have to be calm. You shouldn't let your emotions leak false information before you know it well. Dokdo is Korea's territory today and will continue to be Korea's territory!    In the Ddanji Daily,

A map of Japan produced by the United Kingdom in 1951 shows that Dokdo belongs to South Korea.

 Created just before the San Francisco Peace Conference held in September 1951, Dokdo, marked Takeshima, is included in Korean territory. The part indicated by arrows in the picture is Dokdo Island marked Takeshima. It is fortunate to see that a decisive map confirming that Dokdo is our land without shaking was found in Shimane Prefecture, Japan, and Japan's ambassador to Korea, saying Dokdo is Japanese territory. The San Francisco Treaty signed by the Allies and Japan in 1951 to end World War II only states, "Japan renounces all rights and powers on the Korean Peninsula and Jeju Island, Ulleungdo, and Geomundo Island." Since Japan does not mention Dokdo, which is an issue in the treaty, it claims that when Korea becomes independent from Japan, it was separated only from Ulleungdo Island and that Dokdo remains. Moreover, there has been some evidence against South Korea. President Syngman Rhee asked to insert Dokdo into the treaty at the time of the San Francisco Treaty, but it was rejected. President Rhee Syng-man asked the U.S. State Department to specify Dokdo as there is a possibility of conflict in the future, but at the time, the U.S. State Department refused, saying, "There is no information that Dokdo is a Korean territory." Of course, the problem with this request is that the president asked to specify Tsushima Island as Korean territory. The Korean counterargument to this was a rather poor explanation that the San Francisco Treaty listed only large and important islands as an annex to the Korean Peninsula, but did not mention small unmanned islands such as Dokdo because they did not need to be mentioned. But this is where the twist takes place. This is because Article 67 of the "Skepin," which announced all regulations applicable to Japan in January 1946, when Japan surrendered unconditionally and MacArthur ruled Japan, clearly states that Japanese territory does not include Joseon's Jeju Island, Ulleungdo, and Dokdo. The San Francisco Treaty is not a valid interpretation of Dokdo because the parent law already states that Dokdo is a Korean territory even if Japan becomes independent of the U.S. military government. Unless there is a declaration that the parent law has been abolished, it means that the definition of Japanese territory under Article 67 of the Skepin is correct. However, a map discovered by Professor Chung Byung-joon in February 2005 confirms that the Allied Powers did not vaguely deal with Dokdo, but clearly drew a line that it was not Japanese territory. A map drawn up by the British government in March 1951, just before the signing of the San Francisco Treaty, clearly excludes Dokdo from Japanese territory marked with lines. This map is the only map drawn up in the preparation process for the San Francisco Treaty signed by the Allies and defeated Japan on September 8, 1951, and is clearly included in the draft San Francisco Treaty submitted by the British government to the U.S. government. Therefore, scholars recognize the map as a decisive factor in Japan's claim of sovereignty over Dokdo, claiming that there is no clear provision in the San Francisco Treaty, which establishes and binds international order in East Asia after World War II. The sharp conflict between Korea and Japan over Dokdo can be said to have provided a new turning point with the discovery of this map, which scientists recently discovered while studying Dokdo and other East Sea. First of all, the ecosystem along the coast of Dokdo is changing, and there is a possibility that enormous resources exist around Dokdo, and what is even more surprising is that the East Sea that separates Korea and Japan will disappear and Japan will compete with Korea. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- The original source of the Korea Maritime Research Institute is the briefing of the government.

Stephen Presfield's "The Door to Fire"

 First of all, the author, Steven Pressfield, is an expert on ancient Greece.I understand that you wrote an alternative history set in that era in a collection of alternative history called "If" that came out before.And I remember seeing it in a documentary about Sparta on Discovery that Xerxes used to attack Greece with large expeditionary forces to pay for the defeat of the second war between ancient Greece and Persia, the Battle of Marathon. More precisely, it's about Leonidas and his men who fought to the end in a place called Demorpile. As you are well aware, the Persian invasion of Greece ended with the victory of the Greeks in the Battle of Salamis and the Plataean Plains the following year. But the author argues that it would have been difficult if it had not been for the battle at Demorpile.And this book is about the terrible battle that took place in Demorpile. This book begins when a servant called Xeo, not Leonidas or Spartan warriors, who were the main characters, survived the battlefield and became a Persian prisoner.  Through his recollection of the only (of course fiction) surviving, his personal history and why he came to Demorpile, and why he had to fight to the end, and one of the Persian emperor's scribes recorded his story. This first-person retrospective method is used as it is in the article about General Gyebaek written in Sohae Deco now. Personally, I prefer this type of first-person perspective and recollection type novels to the general novel type omniscient writer's perspective or progressive type of novel.This is because Sohae's idea is that novels should only show half of them, and omniscient writers often show more than half of them. The battle scene is also out of the ordinary...Some parts are intense and some parts are cold enough to make your hair stand on end. The most difficult and dangerous thing about looking at the past is to look at the time from the present point of view or point of view. So I have often seen dangerous situations in which people criticize or judge what happened at that time based on the current standards. The battle of Demorphile and the Greek-Persian wars in this book are drawing attention because from a Western point of view, Greece, which was carrying out democratic politics, won the despotic Persian...That's probably because they overcame the huge power gap and won.The cause of Greece's victory in Victor David Henson's slaughter and civilization is also being found in democratic politics. I can't judge whether it's right or wrong now by Sohae's power, but it's true that Greece won somehow, and I think the cause should also be found within Greece. Another reason why Demorpile is famous is that it best reveals the Spartans who are not afraid of death. I think you've heard of Spartan warriors who answered, "Then we can fight in the shade," and Leonidas, who replied, "Come and take it," to the Persian envoy who said, "Put down your weapons and surrender." Of course, the most famous is the tombstone engraved with the words of the poet Simonides..."Go to Sparta and tell him, my dear fellow travelers said. Here, under the command of my country, we lie down like this." This is also the last sentence of the book. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Has Anabasis, which deals with the Black Sea expedition of Greek mercenaries, ever been translated and published in Korea? I want to find it, but I can't find it.If you know, please let me know.For your information, the biography of Gaul, the history of the Peloponnesian War, and the books of Herodotus and Takitus were published in a place called Pan-Usa.

Not Rich, But Beautiful: What Kim Gu Really Meant by a “Cultural Nation”

Was Kim Gu naïve when he said he wanted Korea to be “the most beautiful nation,” not the richest? A closer reading shows a hard-edged bluep...
