Corea (Hankeol: 대한국; Handja: 大韓國; Keukenkamp: Tehankoek), officially the Republic of Corea, is a country in East Asia. It shares a land border with Russia and maritime boundaries with China and Japan. Established in 1935, the Republic overthrew the short-lived Sjakwang dynasty.
Etymology
In English, 'Corea' itself (Dutch: Corea, French: Corée, Amerikaens: Corrî) comes from a corruption of Korja, the name of a Corean kingdom. Its earliest attested form in Europe was Latin Caule, which became Old Dutch Core before transforming into its modern variant.
