Explain the invasions in Korea and Vietnam by China. Invasions
by China greatly affected how Korea and Vietnam developed as
countries. Han Chinese originally invaded Korea around 108 B.C.E.
Later, Korea developed much of its government and culture based on
Chinas. Mongols invaded Korea in 1231 but were later repelled.
Korea eventually became allies with China who worked together to
repel Japanese pirates (ronin) from the peninsula. Vietnam was also
invaded by the Han Chinese, which began as a relatively peaceful
relationship but later turned harsh. The Tang sisters led a
rebellion against the Chinese, which was successful at first.
Eventually, Vietnam succumbed to Chinese rule again and adopted
many Chinese cultures. Mongol Chinese invaded Vietnam, but were
kept out. Ming Chinese also attacked and were successful at first
but were eventually pushed out as well. Constant attacks on Korea
and Vietnam by China left a heavy cultural footprint in both
countries.
Slide 19
Explain how the Mughal Empire began, Akbars approach to
governing, and the reasons for the empires decline. Strong
leadership led to both the rise and fall of the Mughal Empire.
Chinese Mongols continuously attacked India which shattered the
people into small groups. Barbur joined the groups and took control
of India. After Barburs rule, Akbar allowed the people of India to
follow their own religions and filled government positions based on
talent instead of family. Toward the end of the Mughal Empire,
Aurangzeb controlled India in a violent manner. He placed his
father, Shan Jahan the designer of the Taj Mahal, in prison and
killed his brothers. India subjects were forced to follow Islamic
law, Hindus were removed, and taxed were raised. While positive
leadership led to the rise of the Mughal Empire, oppression
resulted in its downfall.
