I think it's a pity, because everyone knows more or less on Japan history, but Korean one is totally neglected. Even if we are unable to go to the exhibition (sniff), I gathered some quite useful links to read.
Those of you who watched Queen Seondeok may know the name of Baekje. Those of you who know something on Japan, may know this name as well (in Japan this kingdom was known as Kudara).
Japanese claimed they conquered Shilla and Baekje in 4th century, but, hmm... how to put it nicely... Japanese in 4th century were happy that they finally managed to grow rice. Only super-nationalists would believe that the country that knew no iron could actually subjugate fully developed, military strong nation. I mean, Nihongi is a pile of sh*t.The website of the event:
There is also very interesting Baekje History and Culture Hall:
And an "official website" of Baekje:
Here you have Wikipedia, with minor errors, not that important for an outline. I wouldn't recommend Wikipedia as the ultimate and the only source of information. I use it to get the links at the bottom of the pages, because I found so many mistakes on different pages...
And last but not least, a website that is a little bit controversial, but useful. If you're an avid fan of "everything Japanese" don't click on the link. Because some statements there are unpleasant for Japanese, and the blind admirers. Useful, though.
