    Manchu Invade Korea (Exposure to China)
    Around 1636, the Manchu invaded Korea, and this impacted the Korean language and religion. The Manchu established the Qing Dynasty in Korea as well as in China. The Koreans copied Chinese scripts because they wanted to speak a common language. The Korean language is very similar to the Chinese language, even using some Chinese characters. This is also due to exposure from China. This is how Korea got exposed to China and how Korea was changed from exposure to China.
