Thankless Koreans would be speaking Japanese by now if it wasn't for Ming China.
We should have just split Korea with Japan, and would have if Hideyoshi didn't want a Chinese concubine.
Japanese invasions of Korea (1592
"Hideyoshi proposed to China the division of Korea: the north as a self-governing Chinese satellite, and the south to remain in Japanese hands. The peace talks were mostly carried out by Konishi Yukinaga, who did most of the fighting against the Chinese. The offer was taken into consideration until Hideyoshi also demanded one of the Chinese princesses to be sent as his concubine. Then the offer was promptly rejected."
Thanks for what? A war that Korea was already winning long before the Chinese decided to intervene.
