Finally, a well researched and written historical article from The National Interest. Color me surprised.
It would behoove some of you that have made comments on this story to make accurate statements about the history of Korea and its foreign relations status over a period of time before opening your mouth and spouting nonsense.

A merchant ship entered a Korean harbor and refused to leave, Inst4ed the went farther inland. then ended up killing Korean government officials, the Koreans responded militarily killing most and mobs executed the two survivors
We then sent two warships into their waters and used the Koreans firing on foreign warships as a pretense to attack, It turns out only white people are allowed to defend their nations from hostile intruders.

SSG Edward Tilton - Interestingly, in the 1870+ the North part of the united Korea had the most industry and was where most of the US priest were located.... a bit of change to present day.
