North Korea and South Korea ancient times were China's dependent country?

Question

Is that right?

Answer 1

This is true. China was, in ancient and medieval times, a kind of empire. China did control what is now N. Korea and S. Korea for long stretches in the ancient period.

Answer 2

No, that is not true. I've heard many Chinese history books list this as a fact, however, at a point in history, it was an "opposite" fact.

During the Koguryo (sometimes referred to as Goguryo) period in Korean history, the Korean peninsula owned parts of China, spreading up from North Korea a couple hundred acres. See this map for details:

As a result, in some parts of China close to North Korea, ancient buildings from the Korean Kingdom still stand, although the Chinese government has labelled them as under their "rule", that fact is very incorrect.

Though Korea has had to rely on China for imported goods during ancient times, it was never under China's control at any point.

Hope that helps~!

Answer 3

yes I have seen all your questions. I should say you're a traitor, however i will answer this question. Yes, korea in ancient times was weak, and in China's sphere of influence. China was a superpower for thousands of years, many Asian countries have ambassadors in China in the past and also they contribute a lot of money to it, and seek protection under China's huge economic power and military power.
