During the late 1800s, Korea was known as the, "Hermit Kingdom" due to the fact it very rarely engaged in relations in the outside world. I understand how the rest is unhistorical though.
Yeah, that's what I meant. The isolationism is fine. I'm okay with unhistorical stuff when it's realistic, of course (e.g. an alliance between Britain and Germany), but realistically a Korean monarchy would never do anything like that and a civil war would erupt.
Fall 1895As fighting continues in Cuba, newspapers in the United States continue to exaggerate and fabricate tales of Spanish brutality. Public support for the war increases.
