임진왜란과 영국-스페인 전쟁의 개전과정에 관한 비교 연구

Abstract

From the late 16th century to the middle 17th century, both East Asia and Europe could not be ceased from a similar continuation of conflicts and wars. When designing this study, it was deeply motivated to us by the facts that Japanese maritime invasion to Joseon Dynasty in 1592 and Spanish maritime invasion to United Kingdom in 1588, it is called England-Spain War, by mobilizing an invincible fleet (Armada), were similar types of outbreaks in the same era, but the war outcomes were quite different one another. The Joseon Dynasty predicted the possibility of a Japanese invasion and took its own countermeasures for the prevention and outbreak of war, but failed to defend the Japanese invading force from the sea, as results, the entire country was violated for about 7 years. United Kingdom predicted the possibility of a Spanish invasion and succeeded in defending the Spanish invading force from the sea by taking measures to prevent war and to prepare for the outbreak of war. By winning the war, he emerged as a strongest maritime power. Therefore, this study examined the differences between the Korean and England warfare preparedness measures, and why Joseon suffered the tragedy of being violated for 7 years without defending the Japanese invading force from the sea in the first war and the United Kingdom defeated the Spanish invading force from the sea. And also, we compared and analyzed the essential causes of the United Kingdom preserving the territory and establishing the foundation for growing up a strongest maritime power. As a methodology for this study, Stuart A. Bremer's team's Theory of the Process of War and Kahneman and Tversky's Prospect Theory were applied. Through the analysis of the war process, the factors of the outbreak of the war were derived. In addition, Seonjo, King of the Joseon Dynasty chose a risk-aversion strategy, which brought to fail for defending Japanese troops from the sea, resulting in a prolonged war, however, Queen Elizabeth of the United Kingdom chose a risk-acceptance strategy to conquer the Spanish army from the sea, resulting in an early ended war. Results of the study show many implications for today's international relations and modern wars, so further case studies are to be continued in the future.
