Summary
Koryŏ (918–1392) encountered the Mongols in the early thirteenth century. A horrific war, political intervention, and relentless pillaging traumatized Koryŏ immensely. However, in the latter half of that century, diplomatic protocols and a marital relationship between Koryŏ and Yuan were established. Later on, Koryŏ people met new individuals and cultures, took advantage of certain political opportunities generated by the empire, and enlarged their range of trade operations through the Mongol-induced global network. Their view of the outside grew more and more open, while they gained a new appreciation of their traditional way of life. Overall, the Koryŏ case shows us how Mongol imperial policies were implemented in initially conquered regions, how the people there coped with such experiences, what kind of Yuan legacy was reflected in their society, and what kind of merging between cultures occurred.
