During the Warring States period, South Korea's equipment was much better than other countries. Why is Korea still being beaten everywhere?

During the Warring States Period, every country had its own characteristics, among which South Korea was the weakest and was often bullied by other countries. It was also the 1 th country eliminated by Qin, but it had a unique advantage. The main weapon of other countries is bronze ware. At that time, the ironmaking technology was underdeveloped, but South Korea has a natural iron mountain, which makes it much better than other countries in weapons and equipment.

Because you have an iron mountain, you can make many weapons, the most famous of which is the Korean crossbow. The crossbow made in Korea can shoot 800 meters away and easily penetrate the enemy's shield within 800 meters. Later, Qin unified the world, and this crossbow played a very important role. In fact, many crossbows were made by Korean craftsmen when they fled to Qin.

Why are there so many powerful weapons, but they have fallen into such a tragic situation? It is very important that South Korea has a small land area and its geographical position is not dominant. South Korea is surrounded by the powerful Wei State to the east and north, the Qin State to the west and the powerful Chu State to the south. Such an environment has no room for development for South Korea.

If you are located in the Central Plains, if you are strong, you can hit whoever you want. For example, in the early Wei state, the north defeated Zhao, and the south could also suppress the invincible existence of Chu. However, South Korea can't do this because the whole territory is only over 900 miles. In fact, with sophisticated weapons and equipment, it is easy to win the capital in one fell swoop. Without a stable rear, it is difficult to resist enemies from all directions, such as Wei and Zhao. Moreover, South Korea has a small number of troops, and it must have at least four times as many troops to fight with the outside world at the same time.
