The original version of this chapter was inadvertently published with the following errors in figure captions, which have been corrected now as follows:

Fig. 2.2: “The Korean War (1950–1953 Armistice)” has been changed to “Toyotomi Hideyoshi’s dispatch of troops to Korea (Bunroku War, 1592)”.

Fig. 2.3: “First Sino-Japanese War (1894–1895)” has been changed to “The Korean War (1950–1953 Armistice)”.
