| Korea has kept its linguistic communication against all odds, fifty-fifty nether colonization. |
Korea's linguistic communication was threatened twice. This laid about happened when Nippon colonized Korea next a policy of eradicating Korean traditions as well as replacing them alongside Japanese ones. Under Japanese rule, Koreans struggled to keep their traditions as well as literature, every bit the Japanese had burned many historical documents as well as fifty-fifty banned the instruction of the Korean linguistic communication as well as of Korean history. Not exclusively had they tried to erase their history, but they forced the Japanese linguistic communication to locomote used, too, as well as prohibited the usage of Korean language. Speaking Korean inwards Korea was no longer allowed. It was officially illegal.

| The Japanese linguistic communication is taught inwards Korean world schools during colonial times. |
Despite the efficiency of Japan's policy, the Koreans did non autumn for it. They did non allow acquire of their history or their linguistic communication as well as traditions. In March 1919, the Koreans organized a demonstration that took house across Korea to proclaim their rights as well as to struggle for independence. During this movement, over 7,000 people were killed yesteryear the Japanese soldiers, yet this did non halt them every bit they knew how valuable their soil was. Neither the effort nor their lives were inwards vain, every bit inwards 1945 Korea has finally granted its independence when Nippon had lost command over Korea.
Later on, Korea was occupied yesteryear the U.S. of A. of America for a trusteeship, yet the Koreans carefully preserved their traditions, their linguistic communication as well as their literature, regardless of whoever the colonizer was. This tin locomote traced downwards to introduce times, too, every bit Korea is forthwith facing a sudden growth inwards the let on of tourists as well as non-Koreans who desire to pursue their career inwards Korea. You volition discover that the Koreans are non that shaken yesteryear the West, but instead it is the non-Koreans who are learning Korean as well as next Korean customs.
Therefore, Korean traditions as well as linguistic communication are even then locomote thank y'all to the people who were aware of the importance of their heritage as well as were determined to gibe on to it as well as to exceed it downwards to next generations.
