  1. History is accompanied by both light and shadow. However, the shadow, which is cast by the light of history, is another name for tragedy and suffering. In the case of Japan, it was the first non-Western country to achieve a high level of modernization during the late 19th century and early 20th century. Based on this. Japan increased its national power by invading, colonizing and occupying Asian countries. Such events at the time were considered as a light for Japan, but it was a huge tragedy and a dark shadow cast over Asian countries. However, after the war, Japan did not put in effort to change such shadow into light. Therefore, the shadow that was cast from the light of Japan's history in the early 20th century is still hanging over Asia today in the 21st century.

  2. Well, it's not very accurate, for example at the beggining of the video, there are ''Tibetan people'', but Tibet is a short lived kingdom around 7-9 CE/AD, ''Tibetan people'' came from earlier tribes nearby… So this map incorrectly listed Tibet as an independent kingdom when it's not, and didn't list Tibet as an independent kingdom or anything durding the only 2 centuries it had…
    And there are no Emishi on the map of Japan between Ainu and Jomon in this video, in reality Emishi is very important.
    3:56 That is NOT Goryeo, it's still.Goguryeo, they are no the same, Goguryeo is not entirely Korean, the Goryeo late came up at year 918 CE, and they are actually made by remaining forces of Silla, then overthrown by a military general who is not a member of any royal family.
    The Joseon at beginning of the video and the late part of the video are not the same, the ''Joseon'' is a geological name, not a kingdom. The early ''Joseon'' is also not correct, it's composed of many different Chinese marchs(land of marquis) and exiled rebels, but these are unreliable stories.
    The 0:38 Joseon is reliable Wiman Joseon. Lu Wan the King of Yan (not the same old royal family of Yan during Zhou, Lu Wan becomes the new king because he is a friend of the first emperor of Han empire) becomes rebel and exiled to Eastern Hu of Xiongnu then become the King of Lu of Eastern Hu, his military general Wei Man/Wiman then exiled further more to become the king of Joseon, but later family members Lu wan and Wei Man/Wiman surrendered to Han again, at level of marquis.
    The first early litle Joseon in this video might be Jizi, he is an important member of Shang royal family(most of nobles won't get killed at early ancient China, they just get down graded). Or it could be Guzhu, also Shang royal family branch who survivrd till Zhou as marquis, most of their lands are given to Jizi by Zhou as punishment, the rest of them sre taken by Yan and Qi (2 kingdoms of Zhou).
    0:42 I assume this ''Joseon'' is Wei Man/Wiman, and the ''Jin'' here is Chen 辰, Ji Zhun/Jun (descendant of Jizi) got invaded by Wei Man/Wiman, he fled South and restablished control, as king of Jin/Chen, possible ancestor of later 3 han/hams, especially mahan
