The '''Japanese invasions of Korea''' were a major conflict between [[Japan]] and the alliance of the [[Ming Dynasty|China]] and [[Joseon Dynasty|Korea]] during the years of [[1592]] and [[1598]]. The land and naval battles took place almost entirely on the Korean peninsula and its nearby waters, although the [[Shogun|Japanese leader]] [[Toyotomi Hideyoshi]]’s main objective in the war was to conquer China. The war consisted of two main invasions from Japan – the first from the years of 1592 and 1593, and the second from 1597 to 1598. The war finally ended during the last months of the year 1598 with the Japanese withdrawal and the [[Battle of Noryang|naval battle]] at the straits of [[Noryang]].

The war is known by several other English titles, including the '''Hideyoshi's invasions of Korea''', in context of Hideyoshi’s biography; the '''Seven Year War''', in reference to the war’s duration; and the '''Imjin War''', in reference to the first year of the war in [[Korean language|Korean]] (See [[Sexagenery Cycle]]).<ref name="yonhap">{{cite news
