Answer:
Admiral Yi Sunsin
Explanation:
The Korean Admiral in the late 1500s who single handily saved Korea from Japanese annexation. Despite him being a political enemy of the Korean Elites, he managed to climb up the military ranks twice after being falsely accused of treason and violence. This was during the Japanese invasion of Korea in which Admiral Yi had constructed "turtle-warships" that were very modern for its time. Not only did the ship beat Japanese ships but Admiral Yi had superior tactics and knew when the tides of water in Korean straights would change. His tactics would cause a devastating blow on the Japanese forces trying to arrive in Korea. The Japanese would then have to retreat due to major losses by Yi's Turtle warships and superior naval tactics. He died protecting Korea but protected her, he did, even with all odds against him.
