Western academia's studies of the ancient Korean history can be examined over three terms. The first term ranged from the latter half of the 19th century through the early half of the 20th. In this term, it was the Christian missionaries and other personnel involved in professional education who authored Korean history books. Other than them, historians' professional research of the topic began in the second term, which started with the end of the 2nd World war and continued through the mid - 1970s. And in the third term, which was since the mid - 1970s and through the 1990s, more researchers were trained and more diverse topics surfaced to be discussed. Examined in this article, are the changes that occurred in the Western academia's perception of the ancient Korean history, over these three terms.
During the first period, which was as mentioned before the latter half of the 19th century and the early half of the 20th, missionaries and education volunteers, while authoring books containing the general history of Korea, formed their own perspective and structure of the ancient Korean history. They more or less accepted the trail of evolution that led from Old Choson/古朝鮮 and Samhan/三韓 to the Three kingdoms/三國. Yet they never tried to verify the legitimacy of certain records even when some of them may have been tampered with in the past. These missionaries and education workers also replaced the Confucian Sino - centric historical perspective with the Western world's general philosophy of civilization and enlightenment. It was a bold gesture, but was a mere switching of a world view nonetheless, and it was certainly not an establishment of a modern historical research frame.
After the liberation of Korea in 1945, some people tried to critically evaluate those people's previous understanding of the ancient Korean history, yet the Western academia seems to have received heavy influence from the Japanese community of history scholars. The Japanese scholars had a tendency of completely negating the credibility of a historical text when it showed even a very minor problem in terms of dates and contents, and the Western community as well incorporated such attitude in their studies. As a result, an atmosphere of completely denying the legitimacy and value of Old Choson - related historical references or the 『Samguk Sagi』's references regarding the early days of the Three - kingdoms period, was formed. Such atmosphere also led to a blatant denial of the historical trail of ancient Korea itself. and scholars started to consider the Chinese commandery units' establishment and dismantlement, instead of the birth and fall of important Korean dynasties, as the most important turning point ever happened in ancient Korean history.
This kind of negative perspective had a profound influence upon their studies even after the mid - 1970s. Yet at the same time, the number of researchers and scholars has increased, an infrastructure for future studies has also been established, and an overall atmosphere for new approaches to all the subject matters has been created. Historical references to Old Choson, or the records inside 『Samguk Sagi』 regarding the early days of the three - kingdoms period. are currently being reevaluated. And analysis of archaeological survey reports have provided new insights into the socio - economical developments and political growth of the entities that existed in the Korean peninsula before the establishment of the Four Han Chinese Commandery units. With all such efforts, an effort to establish an objective, rather than negative, perspective to view the ancient Korean history, from Old Choson and Samhan to the Three kingdoms. is now underway.
