역사학의 아버지는 지리학
"Geography" is the Father of History Herodotus (480-429 BCE), considered the "Father of History" in the West, was not Greek by birth. He was born in a Dorian colony in present-day Bodrum, Turkey. He traveled extensively until the age of thirty, gaining knowledge and insight. He visited Mesopotamia (Iraq), Phoenicia (Lebanon), Scythia (Ukraine), and Egypt. He settled down in Greece and began writing The Histories, which records what he had seen in person and heard from others during his travels.

"2차대전기의 성폭력" 국제학술회의 성폭력과 역사 새로 읽기
International Workshop: "Sexual Violence in World War II": Rereading Sexual Violence and History An international workshop on sexual violence during World War II was held on February 19-21 at the University of Bonn in Germany. The event was co-funded by the Northeast Asian History and the University of Bonn. The invitation, however, highlighted only the Foundation's contribution. We were grateful for the host's generous consideration, but we were also embarrassed that our role in the event may have been overblown.

동해와 울릉도 사람들은 어떻게 살았을까?
How did the people of the East Sea and Ulleungdo live? This research project was designed to examine the significance of the East Sea and Ulleungdo in Korean history and the manner by which they were featured in Korean history. Korea is surrounded on all three sides by the sea. It is a well known fact that this geographical condition has played an important role in the unfolding of Korean history. However, the East Sea, toward which Korea has the longest coastline, and Ulleungdo, a lonely island in the East Sea, have also played central roles in the formation and development of Korean culture.

당나라 신하로 변신한 남생 부자의 최후
The Fate of Tang Vassals Namsaeng and His Son In 666 CE, when Namsaeng, Yeon Gaesomun's son, was on an inspection tour of the provinces, his younger brothers Namgeon and Namsan staged a coup. Namsaeng and his father, unable to return to Pyeongyang, attempted to go to Guknae Seong, but even this proved difficult. Contrary to their expectations, they did not have the unanimous support of the aristocracy in Guknae Seong. They had to find an alternative, and it was Namsaeng's son Heonseong who came up with the following plan: explain the situation to the Tang court and ask for military assistance to oust Namgeon and Namsan. Heonseong went first, and the others followed. In 668, Namsaeng led the Tang forces to his homeland and attacked Pyeongyang Seong, bringing about the demise of the Goguryeo dynasty.

Sourcebook on Korea's Diplomatic History Diplomatic papers refer to the entire range of official documents exchanged between countries for the purposes of negotiation. They include treaties, notifications, and declarations, which are agreements between countries or unilateral expressions of intent. Diplomatic papers, which are records of the interactions and diplomatic protocols between countries, reflect the framework and nature of a given nation's perception of the outside world. Diplomatic papers, therefore, are important historical source materials.
