Donghak

Donghak was a Korean religion that had originated and gained popularity during 19th-century. Donghak started as a reaction to Christianity. Donghak had self-proclaimed to be mainly influenced by Confucianism, Buddhism, Taoism. Donghak later had become political, criticizing both Western powers trying to take over Korea and the corrupted government officials. As a result, Donghak had finally started a Donghak Peasant Revolution, which lead to First Sino-Japanese War. After the start of the 20th-century, Donghak had divided into many different religions.
