ABSTRACT

In a country, war and peace are both contradictory and very closely related concepts as well. Joseon, which inherited political, social, and economic turmoil as a historical heritage at the end of the Goryeo, was established in 1392 and influenced by the international situation of changing Ming from Yuan(元明交替). Under the pluralistic international order, Goryeo had many times of war to influence the national destiny, and while taking full advantage of Goryeo's capabilities, it made strategic diplomatic relations by utilizing the change of international situation. However, after the founding, Joseon focused on the Ming central international order(明 中心 國際秩序) and ignored diplomatic and military alternatives. Of course, this has the advantage of limiting the external forces that invade Joseon from the North. Since Joseon dealt with the ruling class of North, it was punished in terms of border security. In the early days of the founding, Joseon faced internal confusion in the face of changes in international affairs, which were replaced by the Ming from the Yuan, as well as domestic political and military complexity. In addition, Joseon has implemented a fierce defense policy to secure security in the Ming central international order. During the peace period, Joseon could implement long-term and systematic defense policies, but the national policy, which was the national policy for the war, changed due to the initial confusion and the transformation of the international situation. In early Joseon period, the international situation was the decline of Mongolia, a northern nation, and the establishment of Ming Dynasty. In this process, the international situation changed suddenly due to the North Yuan forces of the Liaodong, the Mongol forces in the grassland, the Ruzhen in the northern part of the Korean peninsula. The changes in the international situation have caused frequent military conflicts around Joseon, resulting in massive wars. As a result, the Joseon changes in the defense policy and experience the Campaign against the Jurchen tribesmen(女眞征伐), Tsushima Subjugation(對馬島征伐), Japanese Riots in the Three Ports(三浦倭亂), Nitanggae Invasion(尼湯介亂), Imjin war(壬辰戰爭), Manchu War in 1636(丙子胡亂).
