Today, I will explore the foundation of the Joseon dynasty 조선 朝鮮 by Yi Seong-gye. The year was 1392. Goryeo has fallen. Its last three kings put to death by General Yi Seong-gye 이성계, who will later become known as Taejo (조선 태조, Great Progenitor). Yi Seong-gye had gained respect by pushing Mongol force remnants off the Korean Peninsula and successfully repelled some Japanese pirates attacks. He was also a key figure in the repelling of the Red Turbans rebels from China who attempted to invade Goryeo.
Yi Seong-gye founded a new kingdom in July of 1392; the Joseon dynasty. Little did he know at the time that his newly founded kingdom would live on for more than 500 years. It is the last dynastic kingdom of Korea. Joseon is also known as the Yi Dynasty, following the clan name of the ruling house.
The foundation of Joseon was quite turbulent, murderous and fratricidal. Yi Seong-gye’s former allies and close counsellors died during these troubled times. General Choe Young had to die for Yi Seong-gye to accomplish his goals and take power. Jeong Do-jeon, who was the principal architect of the Joseon Dynasty’s policies was killed by Taejo’s fifth son, Yi Bang-won who lusted for power… and eventually became the 3rd King of Joseon.

I am really into learning the history of the world. l am currently learning about Korea and I love how this country has become one of the greatest nations in the East even after all the internal power struggles, foreign invasions and suppression in the later years of Joseon era.
I'm struggling on my finals and this video is a total life saver! Thank you!
Good luck! Thanks for watching hehe
Just a simple correction, King Taejo did not establish “reverence” to China but rather a “friendship” to China on equal terms. This was because the Haedong worldview was still observed by Korea during this time. This meant that Korea was the center of the Eastern World while China was the center of the Middle Kingdom in the Plains. This is why he fostered friendship with Ming China from the start. Korea called China, “Great Ming” while China called Korea “Great Joseon”. This signified that Joseon and Ming were allies on equal terms and had a great relationship.
Wow! Thanks for the additional info you share! 😊
책봉 관계 때문에 엄연히 따지자면 조선은 명보다 정치외교적으로 더 낮은 국가는 맞지. 되려 고려가 훨씬 중국에 대등했지. 조선보다는 자주적이고 중국에 대등한 장치가 더 많았으니까. 또 16-17세기쯤 되면 중화사상이 조선 사대부에 자리잡아서..
@@goldenmitaine4629 I think it's not a propaganda.. but he is adding the fact about the history behind of king Taejo..
@@goldenmitaine4629 Why this ain’t propaganda is that what he just referred to was true, but just his interpretation just needed some correction
Joseon was willfully friends with the king but with the Qing it was more of a subjugation.
Gyeonnbokgung is older then the forbidden city you could say the forbidden city was influenced by gyeongbokgung. Gyeonnbokgung back then was beutiful
Lee Song Gye, the grandfather of King Sejong the Great ❤

You bet
The Wakou were a diverse group of pirates. A large amout of them came from diverse backgrounds not just Japan.
The Ming Dynasty maintained friendly diplomatic relations with the Joseon Dynasty for more than two hundred years; in 1392, King Taejo Daewang Lee Seong-gye of the Joseon Dynasty was proclaimed king, and Ming Taejo bestowed the title of Joseon on the two countries. The two countries established clan relations.
During the reign of Emperor Chengzu of Ming Dynasty, the title of King of Joseon was officially bestowed by Emperor Chengzu of Ming Dynasty. The Joseon Dynasty adopted the policy of "serving the great" to the Ming Dynasty, and in 1592 Japan invaded Joseon. In 1592, Japan invaded Korea, and Emperor Shenzong of Ming sent troops to fight against the Japanese army, which was completely defeated in 1598. The Ming army fought twice, side by side with the Korean army and people, and won the war, which also wrote a glorious page in the history of the relationship between the two countries. The Joseon Dynasty regarded the Ming Dynasty's action as a "renewed favor".
I knew this through six flying dragons
Keep our history alive! WE ARE DANGUNS PEOPLE! #ONEKOREA is Coming!
Can you make a video about empress Myeongseong?
Yes, I have planned this ^^
Roots of the throne brought me here
I wanted to ask whether the word joseon originaly come from the word jurchen? Just asking
No it doesn’t
The first ever Korean dynasty is Gojoseon and so I think Lee Song Gye named his kingdom Joseon as a tribute to the ancient kingdom I'm not sure but that's what I can think of
@@youngbidam you are right. and ‘Go’ means ancient, so he named it after the exact first kingdom’s name
Joseon is supposedly the hanja(Chinese character) reading of the name Asadal, an ancient Korean name supposedly meaning 'morning country', which was also the name of the mythical Dangun's capital. Later, the name became associated with a 'younger brother country of China', as Wiman and Kija Joseons (two ancient countries that supposedly followed the old Joseon) were led by nobles exiled from/assigned by China.
The story goes that Taejo wanted to name the country Hwaryeong, but the Ming Emperor approved Joseon.
Who came here because of Six Flying Dragons. HEHE

Confucianism is the faith of joseon Korea .
How come the Catholism is widespread in Nowadays Korea and even before..???
Why Catholism ONLY?
Who was behind the Catholism disciples in Korea before and after the division .??
Actually Protestantism is the most popular religion in Korea, followed by Buddhism and then Catholicism...
Catholic religious got a foothold first and work well with Confucianism. Lot of protestant churches feels more like cults of personality than churches for Jesus lol
Joseon is South
Both
