Kingdom of Joseon (Choson'gol: ⁇ , "State of Joseon the Great"; also Choson, Choson, Chosun) was a kingdom founded by Yi Seong-gye that lasted for approximately five centuries, from July 1392 to October 1897. It was officially renamed the Korean Empire in October 1897.[1] It was founded after the collapse of the Goryeo dynasty which had its capital at Kaesong. After establishing a new dynasty, Yi Seong-gye moved the capital of his former kingdom at Kaesong, shifting somewhat southward in the Hanseong region, now called Seoul. The kingdom's northern borders were extended to the natural boundaries of Yalu and the Tumen River through the conquest of the Jurchens. Joseon was the last Korean dynasty and the longest-lived Confucian dynasty.

During his reign, Joseon supported the ideals and doctrines of Chinese Confucianism in Korean society. Neo-Confucianism was installed as the ideology of a new dynastic state. Buddhism was denigrated and sometimes faced persecution by the Joseon dynasty. Joseon also upheld effective rule over Korean territory and witnessed the rise of Korean classical culture, commerce, science, literature, and technology. However, the dynasty was very weak during the late 16th and early 17th centuries, during the Japanese Invasion of Korea (1592-1598) and the first and second Manchu attacks of 1636 that nearly invaded the Korean Peninsula, leading to an increasingly harsh isolationist policy that made the country known as "Hermit Kingdom". After the invasion of Manchuria ended, Joseon experienced a nearly 200-year period of peace.
However, any power that restored the kingdom during its isolation was reduced by the 18th century and faced internal strife, power struggles, international pressure and revolts, the Joseon Dynasty declined dramatically in the late 19th century.
The Joseon period left a great legacy to modern Korea; much of modern Korean culture, etiquette, norms, and people's attitudes towards current issues, are, and modern Korean and its dialects are derived from the culture and traditions of Joseon
By the end of the 14th century AD, the 400-year-old Goryeo dynasty Wang-geon founded in 918 had fallen, weakened by prolonged war and de facto occupation by the Mongol Empire. In the body of his own kingdom also experienced strife because not only did the ruler fail to effectively control his kingdom, but it is also considered tainted by generations of forced marriages with members of the Mongol Empire family and rival families (even the mother of King Woo is a commoner, the, which made the spread of rumors that doubted his descendants from King Gongmin. In the kingdom, groups of nobles, generals, and even prime ministers are divided into different parties whose purpose is to seek power alone. With the increasing attacks of Japanese pirates and Red Turban groups, royal power began to be dominated by 2 groups of nobles, the Noble Sinjin and the Nobles of Gwonmun, as well as a general who could fend off foreign threats; Talented general Yi Seong-gye and his rival Choe Yeong.
The Ming Dynasty was founded under the charismatic Zhu Yuanzhang (Emperor Hongwu), power within Goryeo was split into conflicting factions led by General Yi (supporting the Ming) and General Choe (in the Mongol position). When Ming envoys arrived in Goryeo in 1388 (the 14th year of King Woo's regime) to request the return of the northern territory of Goryeo to the Ming, General Choe used the opportunity to invade the Liaodong Peninsula (Goryeo claimed to be the successor of the ancient kingdom of Goguryeo and wanted to restore its glory by taking over Manchuria). The reliable General Yi was made the leader of the invasion, but upon reaching Wuihwa Island on the Yalu River, he rebelled and led the army back to the capital Gaegyeong, committed murder of General Choe and his followers. He initiated a coup against King Woo and installed his son, King Chang in 1388. Due to his failed restoration efforts, General Yi killed former King Woo and King Chang and forced the new king to the throne, King Gongyang. After imposing his power indirectly through the puppet king, Yi began to ally with Sinjin nobles such as Jeong Do-jeon and Jo Jun. As Goryeo's de facto general, he created the Gwajeon Act which effectively aimed to confiscate land from the wealthy landlords and conservative noble groups of Gwonmun, then distributed it to his supporters in the Sinjin group. In 1392 (4th year of King Gongyang's regime), Yi's 5th son, Yi Bang-won, died, for the sake of his loyalty to his father ordered 5 men to execute an old regime-supporting noble named Jeong Mong-ju on Seonjuk Bridge near the capital. That same year, Yi deposed King Gongyang, exiled him to Wonju and ascended the throne. Dinsati Goryeo ended after 500 years in power.
