 * The Korean-American Treaty of 1882 was also known as the Treaty of Chelumpo -- see Yŏng-ho Ch'oe et al. (2000). ; excerpt, "Korea signed a similar accord with the United States (the Treaty of Chelump'o, 1882) that was followed by similar agreements with other Western nations"; Kim, H.C. (2008). ; excerpt, "The Korean-American Treaty of 1882 is also knowns as The Treaty of Chemulpo or The Treaty of Amity and Commerce." Any potential confusion is mitigated by explicitly identifying (a) the parties involved in the treaty and (b) the date it was concluded. --Tenmei (talk) 03:15, 30 August 2010 (UTC)
