Joseon ( Korean : 朝鮮 ; Hanja : 朝鮮; an aa Chos?n , Choson , Chosun , Cho-sen ), wis a Korean state foondit bi Taejo Yi Seong-gye that lastit for approximately five centuries, frae Julie 1392 tae October 1897. It wis foondit follaein the eftermath o the owerthrow o the Goryeo Dynasty in what is the day the ceety o Kaesong . Early on, Korea wis retitled an the caipital wis relocatit tae modren-day Seoul . The kinrick's northrenmaist borders wur expandit tae the naitural boondaries at the Amnok an Duman rivers throu the subjugation o the Jurchens . Joseon wis the last dynasty o Korean history an the langest-rulin Confucian dynasty.

Durin its reign, Joseon consolidated its effective rule ower the territory o current Korea, encouraged the entrenchment o Korean Confucian ideals an doctrines in Korean society, importit an adaptit Cheenese cultur, an saw the hicht o classical Korean cultur, tred, science, literatur, an technology. Houiver, the dynasty wis severely weakened durin the late 16t an early 17t centuries, when invasions bi the neighborin states o Japan an Qing nearly owerran the peninsula, leadin tae an increasinly hersh isolationist policy for which the kintra acame kent as the Hermit Kinrick . Efter the end o invasions frae Manchurie, Joseon experienced a nearly 200-year period o peace.

Houiver, whatever pouer the kinrick recovered durin its isolation faur waned as the 18t century came tae a close, an faced wi internal strife, pouer struggles, internaitional pressur an rebellions at home, the Joseon Dynasty declined rapidly in the late 19t century.

The Joseon period haes left a substantial legacy tae modren Korea; much o modren Korean etiquette, cultural norms, societal attitudes taewards current issues, an the modren Korean leid an its dialects derive frae the cultur an tradeetions o Joseon.
