The timeline,
told as stories

Early modern · The Imjin War and Europe

As the Imjin War began, England had just broken the Spanish Armada

Toyotomi's unification of Japan and England's victory over the Armada, set against the invasion of Korea in 1592.

Early modern · Reformation and Joseon

While Luther lit the Reformation, Joseon's own reformer failed

Luther's Ninety-five Theses of 1517 and the purge of Jo Gwang-jo in 1519 — two reforms, two very different fates.

Modern · 1919 and the world

In 1919, Korea rose while the world was rebuilding order from the rubble of war

The March First Movement and the Provisional Government, read alongside the end of World War I and the call for self-determination.
