국경과 분단선을 뛰어 넘어 대화하고 연대하는 틀을 만들자
Let's Build a Framework for Dialogue and Solidarity Beyond the Borders and Division Lines The end of World War II seventy years ago was an event of great significance that brought a new hope to mankind by defeating the forces of evil and closing a chapter in world history dominated by the irrationality of the strong preying on the weak. With the fall of Nazi Germany at the hands of the Allies, Europe was liberated from the grip of totalitarian and fascist dictatorship and the threat of ethnic persecution. The 15th day of August in 1945, when the Japanese Emperor surrendered after the atomic bombings, became the day of liberation that set Asia free from imperialist colonial rule and ruthless exploitation. But in the next seventy years of postwar history, Europe and East Asia walked on paths that turned out to be vastly different from each other. The countries in Western Europe, victims of enormous damage caused by Nazi Germany's wars of aggression, brought Germany's war crimes to justice, and set about building the European Community after achieving reconciliation by quickly

"동북아시아사 정립, 역사·문화 겹치는 이웃 국가 간 공동 연구가 중요"
"The Importance of Establishing Northeast Asian History and Conducting Joint Research between Neighboring Countries with a Shared History and Culture" Editor's Note: This year marks exactly a quarter of a century since Korea and Mongolia established diplomatic relations. The two countries share common elements of history and culture on various levels. For example, our ancestors from ancient Korean states (e.g. Koguryo and Buyeo) established early settlements in the eastern Mongol region. Therefore, academic exchange between the two countries is essential to studying the roots of our ancestors. There has been continued academic exchange between Korea and Mongolia in the areas of history and culture since the establishment of the Korea-Mongolia Council of Historians in 2011 under the MOU between the NAHF and the Mongolian Academy of Sciences (MAS). For this month's issue of the NAHF newsletter, S. Chuluun, the Director of the Institute of History and Archaeology at the MAS, was interviewed to talk about the shared history and culture of Central Eurasia, and the distortion of history by the neighboring countries.

진시황제, 우리가 아는 '중국'의 뼈대를 세우다
The First Emperor of Qin Lays Down the Foundation of 'China' The First Emperor (259 - 210 B.C.), or King Zheng of Qin as he was known before uniting the whole China, built a solid government by appointing talented men to office, regardless of their nationality. At the same time, he used sophisticated diplomatic skills and a strong military power built around the calvary in destroying the Han Dynasty in 230 B.C. He went on to conquer five more states (Zhao, Wei, Chu, Yan, and Qi), thereby achieving the unification of China in a span of only ten years. Having unified China, King Zheng of Qin dropped the title 'king' and replaced it with the title 'emperor,' which would remain in use for about 2,100 years by the subsequent dynasties of China as the official title for their ruler, until the fall of the Qing Dynasty. The First Emperor divided the entire country into 36 commanderies, each being administered by a civil governor (shou 守), a military commander (wei 尉) and an imperial inspector (監), and divided these commanderies into counties.

《제국주의 유산과 동아시아》 제국주의에서 찾은 동아시아 역사 갈등의 기원
The Legacy of Imperialism and East Asia Imperialism as the Origin of Historical Conflict in East Asia ▲ 이근욱 최정수 김원수 이영관     최덕규 최덕수 김기윤 지음The term 'imperialism' was not used until the mid-19th century or so. It was the British who first started using this term, which invoked the image of wars of aggression, such as the Napoleonic Wars, and represented something condemnable.If there is a term that better describes how states or certain polities expanded their influence and established their presence overseas in modern history, or their intentions to do so, it is 'colonialism.' The dreams of Europeans, as reflected in Utopia by Thomas More and New Atlantis by Francis Bacon written in the 16th and 17th centuries, respectively, were to settle in America and build new agricultural colonies. To them, 'colonialism' meant turning uncultivated yet fertile land into fields for the production of crops, hunting abundant game for food, or cutting down the wild woods to make more room for farmlands and use the timber. In other words, they perceived 'colonization' as the process of improving nature a

강우규 의사 의거지 터 대한 노인의 기개, 일제의 간담을 서늘케 하다
The Site of Patriot Kang Woo-kyu's Attempted Assassination of the Japanese Governor-General of Korea The Old Korean Man Whose Valor Frightens Imperial Japan It was 5 p.m. on September 2, 1919. The square in front of the Namdaemun Station, the present-day Seoul Station square, was crowded with people who had been brought in to welcome Saito Makoto, the third Governor-General coming to Japan's colony of Korea. The mission of this new Governor-General, appointed after the March 1st Movement was suppressed, was to tighten the grip of colonial rule over Korea in the name of so-called 'cultural rule.'When Saito and his company, having arrived at the Namdaemun Station, were about to get on a carriage after the welcoming ceremony, there was an instant mayhem as a man in the crowd suddenly produced a grenade from his jacket and threw it at Saito, only to miss him. This incident made the daily headlines, and an extensive search to find the man was launched. When the man was finally captured on September 17, it was to everyone's surprise that he was an old man of sixty-five. The patriotic man's name was Walwoo (曰愚) Kang Woo-kyu. He was born in 1855 a
