koreanhistory1-11, Exercise 1: Tracing a thread (a sample; yours will differ)

Model answer (Thread Four, violence and memory):

1. [Source] Chungju's inhabitants were reportedly massacred after a 70-day siege during the Mongol invasions, with no figure given (Korean History 5).
2. [Source] The Imjin War article gives 1,000,000+ Joseon dead, with no breakdown (Korean History 7); the Manchu invasion's effects include kidnapped women whom families often rejected (Korean History 7).
3. [Source] In 1919 the article reports shootings and the Jeamni church burning on 15 April, with deaths from 798 to 7,509 depending on source (Korean History 8); Jeju figures run from 14,373 civilians to 100,000, with apologies in 2003 and 2019 (Korean History 9).
4. [My own reading] Each time, the toll is argued as a range with owners, and the official count is least trusted where the state controlled it (the 1980 Martial Law Command made disputing its figures grounds for arrest; Korean History 10).
