What was Korea relationship with china under the qing dynasty?
Korea was subject to and part of China under Qing dynasty
Ruled korea from 935 to 1392?
The Kingdom of Goryeo (고려 ) was the first fully unified kingdom in Korean history. This kingdom was ruled by the Korean Wang Dynasty (918-1392) until it was forced into becoming a compulsory ally of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty, under which the power of Goryeo kings waned. The Kingdom of Goryeo finally collapsed when Yi Seong-gye, a general of Goryeo, overthrew the ruling family and established the Kingdom of Joseon.
Korea was a vassal state of which country during the 1700's?
Korea was not a vassal state during the 1700's. In 1700's, there was Joseon Dynasty in Korea. I'll tell you about cultural history of Joseon Dynasty briefly. Joseon was the nation that succeeded Goryeo, established by Yi Seong-gye. Joseon dynasty is especially important in Korea history, since it is the period when the Korean alphabet- Hangeul- was created. Hangeul was created by the scholars of Jiphyeonjeon, the hall of worthies under the order of king Sejong the great in 1446. It is considered to be one of the greatest achievements of Koreans. Hangeul was created for the common people who were found it difficult to read and write Chinese characters. UNESCO registered Hangeul as a valuable memory of the world and created the king Sejong literacy prize and awards this prize every year to those who have contrivuted to the eradication of illiteracy. Discovery magazine "Discovery" reported that Hangeul is the most logical alphabets in the world in terms of originality and efficiency, especially for its combination of symbols. Discovery magazine reported Korea to have the highest literacy rate in the world because of Hangeul. Joseon was also excellent in the field of architecture and constructing ships, Suwon Hwaseong Fortress, built under the rule of King Jeongjo, is considered to be the finest example of all Asian fortresses due to its functional structure. Suwon Hwaseong fortress combined both Eastern and Westrn military theories, and its strong defense and high aesthetic value are both recognized worldwide. The Turtle Ship, was invented and built by Admiral Yi Sun-sin. Because he predicted and invasion by the Japanese. Geobukseon, ship was shaped like a turtle, with its shell pierced with countless augers, and its figurehead was a dragons head. There were cannons stationed at each sides of the ship. The war made an about face because of the battle of hansando island, considered to be one of the world's four greatest naval battles. The Cheungugi, the gauge to measure rainfall. Invented in 1441, it was the world's first gauge to measure rainfall. However, the oldest extant cheugugi was created in 1837, and it has the name of the historical era of qing China- Geonryung - on it. Because of this, scholars have considered this to be an invention of China, not Joseon. However, according to Sejong sillok, the annals of king Sejong, prince Munjong designed the Cheugugi in may 1441. This precedes the qing China's year of Geonryung by more than 300 years. The record also showed that the Cheugugi was distributed across the country. Therefore, the Koreans were able to protect a precious legacy that was almost stolen by the Chinese. The Cheugugi precedes the one invented by the Italian mathematician Castelli in 1639 by 200 years, and its invention is considered to be one of the greatest achievements of not only the Joseon, but indeed in the history of science in Asia. Like this , Joseon was one of the most scientifically advanced civilizations in the world. Can you imagine a strong country like this was a vassal state? No way. Of course, Joseon pay a tribute to China that time, but it was not because Joseon dynasty agreed obeying to China. It was just for benefit, and at that time, so many countries pay a tribute because they thougt it was diplomatic means. And if Joseon dynasty was a vassal state of China, China should tried to adapt Joseon to their customs. But China acknowledged Joseon's customs and culture. Joseon dynasty was an independent country, not a vassal state.
How did Korea serve qing dynasty?
In a way, Korea wasn't "ruled" by the Chinese. Otherwise, it would've been known as Qing territory, which it wasn't. Korea, or more specifically, Joseon was basically like the ROK where an alliance was made with constant negotiations and military cooperations. Seeing how culturally and technologically the two remained fairly distinct, Korea wasn't a tributary nation of China necessarily as, for example, Israel was in the Roman empire, and definitely not like when Korea was annexed (illegally) by Japan. If Korea was truly to be conquered (like Israel to the Romans or parts of China under the Mongols), it would've fought in a war beforehand, as portrayed in the Sui-Goguryeo Wars, the Tang-Goguryeo Wars, the Mongol invasions against Goryeo (which was one of the longest campaigns of invading done by the Mongols. Also Goryeo was still allowed to rule itself, which is why there is controversy over whether history book maps should portray Korea as Mongol territory since it was, indeed a tributary state.), the Imjin Wars, and the forced annexation of Japan. Yes, Joseon and Qing exchanged ambassadors baring tribute, but they weren't tribute of capitulation or anything of the sort. But, Korea was still under the Qing sphere of influence, which was legally eradicated after Joseon established the Korean Empire, which turned Korea into an entirely independent nation. The Empire didn't last long afterwards, but it did lead to rather rapid and partially successful revolution in technology. For example, Seoul was actually the first city to have electricity, trolley wagons, cars, and such all together in Asia. However, the potential of the independent and united Korea was cut short by, of course, Japan and the Western superpowers.
What was the name of Korea before Korea?
It was called Gojoseon until 1897 when it became Korea. It was under Japanese rule from 1910 to 1945 and split into North and South Korea in 1948. No, Gojoseon was founded in 2333 BC and lasted until 108 BC. Then came the Proto-Three Kingdoms era, then the Three Kingdoms, then Unified Silla & Balhae, then was split into 3 again, then came GORYEO (where the present day English name Korea comes from), then Joseon, then the Korean Empire, then the Japanese rule, Allied invasion of colonized Korea, and then finally the present day North & South Korea.

What is the brief history of Korea?
Though the founding date is debated by historians, the recorded history of Korea began under the kingdom of Gojoseon. Gojoseon suffered defeat by the Han dynasty of China, and became divided into many different states. After a series of conquest and wars, the Three Kingdoms of Korea emerged (Goguryeo, Baekje, and Silla). Though Goguryeo emerged successful in several wars with the Chinese, Silla (allied with the Tang of China) conquered Baekje and Goguryeo and divided Goguryeo's territory with Tang China. Silla's unification of Korea was short-lived and was soon replaced with the kingdom of Goryeo. Despite being small in size, Goryeo managed to repel the invading Liao kingdom and the Jurchen Jin dynasty but was defeated by the Mongols. Though not conquered, the kings of Goryeo from then on were puppets of the Mongols. It was because of this fact that Goryeo was overthrown and replaced by the kingdom of Joseon. Joseon, unlike its predecessors was not warlike and instead embraced art and literature. Despite this Joseon still managed to soundly defeat the invading Japanese in 1592-1598. However, Joseon shunned Western ideas and technologies, a stance that led to Japanese annexation. After Korea's liberation from Japan, the Communist North invaded the South resulting in the Korean War. As a result of this war, Korea became divided into the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (North Korea) and the Republic of Korea (South Korea).

Who once controlled South Korea?
Before divisionKorean history begins with the legendary founding of Joseon (often known as "Gojoseon" to prevent confusion with another dynasty founded in the 14th century; the prefix Go- means 'old' or 'earlier') in 2333 BC by Dangun. Gojoseon expanded until it controlled much of the northern Korean Peninsula and parts of Manchuria. After numerous wars with the Chinese Han Dynasty, Gojoseon disintegrated, leading to the Proto-Three Kingdoms of Korea period.In the early centuries of the Common Era, Buyeo, Okjeo, Dongye, and the Samhan confederacy occupied the peninsula and southern Manchuria. Of the various small states, Goguryeo, Baekje, and Silla grew to control the peninsula as Three Kingdoms of Korea. The unification of the Three Kingdoms by Silla in 676 led to the North South States Period, in which much of the Korean Peninsula was controlled by Unified Silla, while Balhae succeeded the northern parts of Goguryeo. In Unified Silla, poetry and art was encouraged, and Buddhist culture flourished. Relationships between Korea and China remained relatively peaceful during this time. However, Unified Silla weakened under internal strife, and surrendered to Goryeo in 935. Balhae, Silla's neighbor to the north, was formed as a successor state to Goguryeo. During its height, Balhae controlled most of Manchuria and parts of Russia. It fell to the Khitan in 926.Jikji, the first known book printed with movable metal type in 1377, which is 62 years earlier than Gutenburg's Printing press. Bibliothèque Nationale de Paris.After the North-South Period, successor states fought for control during the Later Three Kingdomsperiod. The peninsula was soon united by Emperor Taejo of Goryeo. Like Silla, Goryeo was a highly cultural state and created the Jikji in 1377, using the world's oldest movable metal printing press.The Mongol invasions in the 13th century greatly weakened Goryeo. After nearly 30 years of war, Goryeo continued to rule Korea, though as a tributary ally to the Mongols. After the Mongolian Empire collapsed, severe political strife followed and the Goryeo Dynasty was replaced by theJoseon Dynasty in 1388 following a rebellion by General Yi Seong-gye.King Taejo declared the new name of Korea as "Joseon" in reference to Gojoseon, and moved the capital to Seoul. The first 200 years of the Joseon Dynasty were marked by relative peace and saw the creation of Hangul by King Sejong the Great in the 14th century and the rise in influence ofConfucianism in the country.Between 1592 and 1598, the Japanese invaded Korea.Toyotomi Hideyoshi led the forces and tried to invade the Asian continent through Korea, but was eventually repelled by the Righteous army and assistance from Ming Dynasty China. This war also saw the rise of Admiral Yi Sun-sin and his renowned "turtle ship". In the 1620s and 1630s, Joseon suffered frominvasions by the Manchu who eventually conquered all of China.After another series of invasions from Manchuria, Joseon experienced a nearly 200-year period of peace. King Yeongjo and King Jeongjo especially led a new renaissance of the Joseon Dynasty.However, the latter years of the Joseon Dynasty were marked by excessive dependence on China for external affairs and isolation from the outside world. During the 19th century, Korea's isolationist policy earned it the name the "Hermit Kingdom". The Joseon Dynasty tried to protect itself against Western imperialism, but was eventually forced to open trade beginning an era which eventually led to 35 years of Japanese colonial rule (1910-1945). After the end of World War II, the Japanese surrendered to Soviet and U.S. forces who occupied the northern and southern halves of Korea, respectively.
