1Became Emperor o Korea in 1897 |
Durin its reign, Joseon consolidated its effective rule ower the territory o current Korea, encouraged the entrenchment o Korean Confucian ideals an doctrines in Korean society, importit an adaptit Cheenese cultur, an saw the hicht o classical Korean cultur, tred, science, literatur, an technology. Houiver, the dynasty wis severely weakened durin the late 16t an early 17t centuries, when invasions bi the neighborin states o Japan an Qing nearly owerran the peninsula, leadin tae an increasinly hersh isolationist policy for which the kintra acame kent as the Hermit Kinrick. Efter the end o invasions frae Manchurie, Joseon experienced a nearly 200-year period o peace.
Houiver, whatever pouer the kinrick recovered durin its isolation faur waned as the 18t century came tae a close, an faced wi internal strife, pouer struggles, internaitional pressur an rebellions at home, the Joseon Dynasty declined rapidly in the late 19t century.
The Joseon period haes left a substantial legacy tae modren Korea; much o modren Korean etiquette, cultural norms, societal attitudes taewards current issues, an the modren Korean leid an its dialects derive frae the cultur an tradeetions o Joseon.
