I found the overview of Korean History fascinating. Korean History is a weak area in my curriculum and I look forward to trying to integrating both the period leading up to 1945 and the later periods into my APWH curriculum. I knew little if anything about the three kingdoms period and later three periods. Most of my knowledge of Korea stems from Japanese and U.S. involvement and some info about the Mongol period. I noticed that Jung-Kim divided Korean eras into periods of globalization. Is this a common periodization for Korea or designed to fit better with today's global world?

Overall, I have a better understanding of the interactions between Japan, Korea, and China than I did before and this seemed to help cement it. :}
