Explanation: During the late 16th century AD, the newly reunited Japan attempted to invade Korea. While they saw some success on land, the two navies were greatly mismatched - the Japanese primarily used close-range boarding tactics. The Koreans used ships with complements of dozens of cannon at long-range.

Guess who won?
