Yuan in Korean peninsula
I think this picture (at 09:08, 13 November 2007) depicts Korean peninsula falsely. Goryeo dynasty of Korea didn't destroyed completely. The dynasty exsisted in the southern part of the Peninsula. Yuan (Mongol) ordered them to attack Japan together and Japanese historic documents describe that they (Japanese) were recognising not only Korean militaries but also emissaries.

At this era, we can say Yuan occipied until South Hamgyong (North Korea today). At max, it can be said Yuan occupied until Kaesong city. Because Goryeo had to move their capital from Kaesong city to Ganghwa Island in 1232, and lost the war bwtween Yuan militry. But not whole Korean peninsula was occupied by the Yuan. --221.190.251.233 (talk) 06:27, 20 January 2008 (UTC)


 * I understand what you are saying. Now Im just drawing after this which in turn was drawn after this, because I havent seen a map out there that depicts anything else. But of course if there is one Im happy to look into it. What I can do is give the map more details, labelling that the royal court was in Ganghwa Island until 1232 and became a tributary state of Yuen. Pojanji (talk) 08:44, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

I think this map is very inaccurate. It is clear that it was built from summing up the areas that were supposedly controlled by the Mongolians. The problem is, however, that it simply follows present day boundries. I mean, it includes all of PRC except for Xinjiang province. What are the chances that the Mongolians stopped exactly at that border, but control all of Ningxia. Same goes for the Mongolian regions in Russia (Republic of Tuva?). It also included Hainan. Do we really know that the Mongolians conquered Hainan? How about Tibet? Did it really include all of Tibet, right to, but not including Tajikistan to the west and Bhutan to the south? It doesn't make sense. UncleMatt (talk) 15:21, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
 * I agree completely. Ninquelótë (talk) 00:34, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Very unlikely they would have just stopped exactly at the modern borders of the PRC or even reached them in some cases, many maps elsewhere show parts of se asia conquered.--Kraj35 (talk) 02:23, 3 June 2013 (UTC)

Although, south persian dynasties were not totally destroyed, they are included the map of the Ilkhanate. What is the difference between Korea and them? --Enerelt (talk) 09:30, 23 December 2008 (UTC)

 * The current version of the map contradicts with the Britannica's map for Yuan Dynasty. Please see this map. GenuineMongol (talk) 05:58, 17 November 2009 (UTC)
 * The Britannica's map does not even include Hainan in the territory of the Yuan Dynasty, so it should follow that too? --67.208.6.133 (talk) 20:57, 4 June 2010 (UTC)
