Shin Chaeho[edit]
Most notable rhetorician in Korean nationalist historiography. Doesn't have own page yet: Shin Chaeho
- "How intimate is the connection between Korea and Manchuria? When the Korean minjok obtains Manchuria, the Korean minjok is strong and prosperous. When another minjok obtains Manchuria, the Korean minjok is inferior and recedes. Moreover, when in the posession of anotehr minjok, if that minjok is a northern minjok, then Korea [Han'guk] enters into that northern minjok's sphere of power. If an eastern minjok obtains Manchuria, then Korea enters that easter minjok's sphere of power. Alas! This is an iron rule that has not changed for four thousand years."

John K. Fairbank[edit]
John King Fairbank was a prominent American academic and historian of China.
- "By cyclical change, I mean simple pendulum-like fluctuations, for example, from unity to disunity and back ot unity again.... By permanent (secular) change, we mean the reshaping of Chinese life through seemingly irreversible trends like the emancipation of woman, inauguration of government by parties instead of dynasties, the increasing use of machines, and the spread of new ideas. Obviously these secular changes are much the more far-reaching and fundamental."
