Why was Japan noway raided by China or Korea? Japan wasn’t raided by China or Korea in part due to geographical walls, artistic differences, and literal circumstances. Then are some crucial factors
Geographical walls
Japan is an islet nation, comprised of four main islets( Honshu, Hokkaido, Kyushu, and Shikoku) and multitudinous lower islets. This terrain acted as a natural hedge, making it logistically challenging for large overrunning forces to cross the ocean.
Artistic Differences
Japan, China, and Korea have distinct societies, languages, and literal backgrounds. While there were relations, trade, and artistic exchanges between these nations, the artistic differences contributed to a sense of distinct identity and frequently kept them separate.
Isolationism
Japan espoused a policy of isolationism during the Edo period( 1603- 1868), known as sakoku. During this time, Japan limited its contact with the outside world, allowing only a many designated anchorages for trade with the Dutch and Chinese. This policy reduced the liability of irruption.
Internal Conflicts
China and Korea, at different points in their histories, faced internal conflicts and external pitfalls that diverted their attention and coffers down from implicit irruptions of Japan.
Military Preparedness
Japan developed a strong military tradition, particularly during the feudal period, with the samurai class playing a significant part. This military strength acted as a interference to implicit raiders.
Failed Attempts
There were literal cases of attempts to foray Japan. For illustration, in the late 16th century, Toyotomi raided Korea in an attempt to conquer Ming China and expand into Southeast Asia. still, this attempt to move further east faced logistical challenges and eventually failed, with the notorious nonmilitary Battle of Sekigahara contributing to the pullout of Japanese forces.
It’s important to note that while Japan wasn’t raided by China or Korea, it did experience irruptions by other powers, similar as the Mongols in the 13th century. The Mongol irruptions were repelled by a combination of geographical advantages and effective Japanese defenses
