common misconception in Korea

I asked more than 100 Korean people in Korea. All they said was Korea had been independent for 5000 years. They did not know Korea was a client state.... until Treaty of Shimonoseki 1895. What a surprise.

Please show not the investigation that you conducted uniquely but the paper which passed through refereeing.219.97.193.193 14:23, 7 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Korea keep their culuture and goverment all times. you must distinguish "diplomatic relation" and "conquered relation". china and korea relation were "diplomatic relation". conquered relation mean, 1. japan nuked by atomic bomb, killed about 500 thousand people, forced dismiss their army, and death penaty to their commander by other. 2. chinese slaughtered and raped and destroyed by mongol and "direct" controlled by other race. and treated as 4th grade slave. this means "conquered relation".Replayamong23

Korea was and is independent state ever since beginining of Korea. Korea was tributary relation with Qing Empire but wasn't like Mongolia or Tibet which were fully govern by the Qing's court. According to Qing; Han Chinese, Mongolian and Tibetans were conquered people. When ROC became the successor state of Qing, ROC did not claimed Korea as part of their territory. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 60.242.60.90 (talk) 11:26, 29 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

"Korea was and is independent state ever since beginining of Korea. " This is just your thought. I respect your thought but it is more important that it is whether verifiable and whether based on the trusted source. In 1896, "editorial" which was wrote by Seo Jae-pil said that the gate symbolized the independence of Korea from the rule of the Qing. Obviously, this is a trusted source than your thoughts. --Takuro1202 (talk) 07:30, 16 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Ancestor connection

At this point I just want to say the architect of the Independence gate in Korea was my great-grandfather. I intend to add information and references soon. I encourage questions or remarks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by RefBug (talk • contribs) 00:55, 8 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
