Answer:
Korea had belonged to advanced countries from the formation of ancient state about the third century B.C. to about the tenth century, because it is located near China that had been the most advanced country during the ancient and middle times, and responded to the international environment actively.
The geography of Korea affected its early settlement because the Korean peninsula was located between China and Japan which meant people settled there from both areas. Describe the early Koreans. The early Koreans were believed to have been nomads and arrived from northern or central Asia.
