Japanese Invasion of Korea (1592-1598)

The Japanese Invasion of Korea was sparked when Korea refused Japan's entrance into Korea. Japan intended to invade China thru Korea if the Korean government cooperated. In retaliation, Japan invaded Korea. At 1st, the Japanese had great success overwhelming the local Korean Armies. However, the Koreans resorted to guerrilla warfare and for obvious reasons the Ming Chinese got involved. The Japanese lost almost all engagements at sea, and after using too much manpower and materials, the Japanese gave up their repeated invasions.
