Wikipedia: Two Japanese invasions of Korea and subsequent battles on the Korean peninsula took place from 1592 to 1598. Toyotomi Hideyoshi led the newly unified Japan into the first invasion (1592–1593) with the professed goal of conquering Korea, the Jurchens, Ming Dynasty China and India. The second invasion (1594–1596) was aimed rather solely as a retaliatory offensive against the Koreans.
