Following military resistance under King Gongmin that ended Mongol political influence in Goryeo, severe political strife followed, and Goryeo eventually fell to a coup led by General Yi Seong-gye, who established Joseon in 17 July 1392. However, multiple incursions by the Mongol Empire during the 13th century greatly weakened the nation, which eventually agreed to become a vassal state after decades of fighting.
Goryeo (also spelled as Koryŏ), whose name developed into the modern exonym "Korea", was a highly cultured state that created the world's first metal movable type in 1234. Around the same time, Balhae collapsed and its last crown prince fled south to Goryeo. Toward the end of the 1st millennium, Goguryeo was resurrected as Goryeo, which defeated the two other states and unified the Korean Peninsula as a single sovereign state. Unified Silla eventually collapsed into three separate states due to civil war, ushering in the Later Three Kingdoms. Meanwhile, Balhae formed in the north, superseding former Goguryeo. In the second half of the 1st millennium, Silla defeated and conquered Baekje and Goguryeo, leading to the "Unified Silla" period.

There is a “new world” waiting to be born, which could be helped along by a cabinet reshuffle. “It may sound brutal to put it this way,” writes O’Flynn, “but the dispensability of Williamson could prove the key to it all. He simply does not convince as a leader of a public-facing department and the excruciating gaucheness which led him as defence secretary to declare that Russia should just ‘go away and shut up’ has not evaporated,” he continues. Also in the line of fire is the prime minister’s education minister.
In particular, it would be a “blessed relief to many of us” if health secretary Matt Hancock was assigned elsewhere. When will the UK feel it has “turned a page and embarked upon a much-needed new chapter of our invigorating island story?” “Probably not, I would suggest, while all the same political faces we associate with the epic struggle against coronavirus continue to pop up,” he writes. “When will Covid be over?” asks Patrick O’Flynn in The Telegraph. We must start “reimagining the meanings of words such as black and white, and we cannot do that if we piously assign rigid meaning to these words”. It seems pertinent to ask, then “after a year of renewed protests: does capitalising the ‘b’ in ‘black’ help the anti-racism cause?” “I’m afraid the answer is no,” says Salami. “Rather than empowering black people, these stylistic changes simply show how the conversations about race are circular and repetitive,” and can inadvertently “narrow the black experience”. Indeed, the Associated Press has updated its influential style guide, something of a “bible for journalism”, to capitalise the “b”, stating that “the lowercase black is a color, not a person”. Since the protests, people have started to capitalise the ‘b’ when writing about black people”. “But one little-noticed change is to the word black itself. These are some of the key words that have accompanied the Black Lives Matter protests over the past year,” writes Minna Salami in The Guardian.
