Korea's forgotten rebellion that humiliated the world's superpowers #history #geopolitics #militaryAñadido:
A tiny rebellion in Korea started a war that destroyed three empires. The 1890s.
China, Japan, and Russia are all circling the Korean Peninsula. Each empire thinks it controls the game. None of them see what is coming. China gets humiliated by a smaller power it always called barbarians. Japan wins a war then has its victory stolen by three European nations in one week. Russia builds a railway straight through Chinese territory and gets ambushed in the middle of the night before war is even declared. How does a rebellion of peasants armed with bamboo spears trigger a war between eight nations? How does Japan defeat a European empire in just 30 years? Why does this forgotten war still explain East Asia right now?
