POD is Russo-Japanese War. To my understanding, a Russian victory here is plausible, so let's assume they do actually manage to beat the Japanese. What effects does this have on Korea? Would the Russians be likely to set up a protectorate over Korea or something else? How does this affect...

I can't figure out how to delete threads please ignore this

POD any time after 1910 (Japanese annexation of Korea). How can Japan keep control over its colonies without the situation devolving into the egregious violations of human rights seen in OTL? Is there any way for Japan to both keep long-term control over its colonies AND provide for good living...

Say Park Chung-Hee is never assassinated and Kim Il-Sung is overthrown in a Chinese backed coup by generals who don't want North Korea to turn into a monarchy. If North Korea successfully reforms into Democratic Socialism (successfully as China will allow anyway) while South Korea turns to...

Warning! This might be a prologue while it is [still] under construction. #DanishKorea - "Danish Korea" #DanishFarEast - "Danish Far East" So, I would show to you mates what does Side B mean, through a map I edited seen below: So, if not only the Danish would have colonised the whole Korean...

OTL, Korea was the target of Japanese imperialism as the later industrialized and sought to spread out into the seas of Asia and the ripe pickings of China. Your goal is to have Korea be the one to modernize and become the dominant power of east asia (at least until/if china gets its shit...

From what I have read, Yi was not the kind of person who would do such a thing, and he seemed to be loyal to the state despite the several times when they absolutely fucked him over. He was basically the Belisarius of Korea, if we can make that kind of comparison. So a change to his disposition...

Most discussions about Operation Downfall revolve around the affects on Japan itself and America, but I want to explore what happens to Korea in the event of a successful Kyujo coup, the atomic bombs being delayed, or other PODs although it is understandable the relative lack of focus on there...

Instead of having a POD after 1945 or a South Korean victory in the Korean war, what if the Soviets never reached Korea in the first place? What if the Japanese forces in Manchuria had held out a little longer, and a little better, meaning that by the time of September 2, 1945, when the official...

The Sam-il movement, or the March 1st movement, were a series of protests and demonstrations against Japanese rule, inspired by the multitude of post-war revolutions and the "Fourteen Points", promulgated by Woodrow Wilson(however hypocritical it might have been in regards to the US' own...

As the title says, the challenge is make Goguryeo, an ancient Korean kingdom located in the present day northern and central parts of the Korean Peninsula, southern Manchuria, and southern Russian Maritime province, survives longer than OTL. Goguryeo at its height in 476. Bonus points if...

Like the title says, the challenge is to make a higher population for Democratic People's Republic of Korea or known simply as North Korea, a country with population of over 25 million. The POD is set after the Korean War. How would this impact on the Korean peninsula and perhaps the world as...

I have this strange Alternate History TL idea that is been on my mind for some time. The premise is a Russophone East Asian nation and a former Soviet republic situated between China, Russia and North Korea. It comprised of Northeast China and Eastern Inner Mongolia with the population of over...

How could Goryeo survive independent and undergo an industrial revolution? Extra points if Goryeo is at least a constitutional Monarchy by the end of it.

Is there any way for Korea to modernize quickly enough in the 19th Century to avoid becoming a Japanese colony? If I'm not mistaken Empress Myeongseong pursued some relations with the Russians, maybe they could help the Koreans modernize?

If the Russians win the Russo-Japanese War, what would happen to Korea? Would they try to outright annex Korea like how they expanded in Central Asia or would they just kind of leave them be? Would Korea be able to industrialize under the Russians or would they remain an agrarian, obscure country?

An idea that’s been kicking around in my head for a while is what if Korea became independent before 1945? In this case, Korea becomes independent after the March 1st 1919 movement. This is “helped out” by Britain, whose relationship with Japan had been deteriorating for a while. America and...

As the tin says. For most of the Joseon dynasty which encompassed Korean history for much of the early modern period, Korea more or less stayed isolationist as a tributary to China, with brief punctuations such as the Japanese invasions. Now what would the best way for Korea to have a bigger...

What sort of conditions could turn a civil war in North Korea, prior to the 2000's, into a distinct possibility? I've read a few years back that Kim Jong-Il was depressed at the death of his father and the pressure put on him to be an effective heir that he was considering suicide for some days...
