고･중세일본의 국제전쟁과 동아시아－‘白村江싸움’과 ‘몽골襲來’를 중심소재로 삼아－

Abstract

The Baekchon River Battle was an international war in which all powers of East Asia in the mid seventh century were intertwined. Japan wanted to finish the battle with the Tang-Silla allied forces on the Korean peninsula by joining the Baekchon River Battle. In other words, the Baekchon River Battle had the nature of preventive war to take the risks of war that might have put Japan in danger on the Korean peninsula. Since then, the Japanese ritsuryo(律令) state had unfriendly perspectives on foreign policy to Silla, which was one of the enemy countries in reality. In the meantime, in the 13th century, an unusual international war broke out. This was the Mongol Invasion of Japan. Mongolia on the continent of Asia invaded Japan by pressuring Goryeo on the Korean peninsula. This made the Mongol Invasion different from other international wars. The Mongol Invasion had a characteristic of the coexistence of three strategies of Mongolia’s two sides of war and peace, which referred to the diplomatic means called appeasement(招誘) and the military means called invasion(襲來), and another military preparation of the subjugation plan of foreign countries. It is necessary to note the Baekchon River Battle and the Mongol Invasion of Japan, the representative international wars of ancient and medieval Japan. This is because those wars had crossed intentions of many East Asian countries including Mongolia, Goryeo, Japan, the Southern Song dynasty and Vietnam and revealed the traditional Japanese perspectives on foreign policy that considered the Korean peninsula an enemy country.
