Helps understand modern history and Ganghwa Island!
Since the book begins by outlining the flow of world history leading up to the birth of imperialism, it makes sense that the Byeongin Yangyo didn't just appear out of nowhere. The narrative unfolds around Ganghwa Island—the most important site marking the beginning of the modern era—covering events such as the Byeongin Yangyo, the Sinmi Yangyo, the Treaty of Ganghwa, the disbandment of the army, the righteous army struggle, and the Patriotic Enlightenment Movement.
