Original spelling (since 19th century in history books, maps etc.) of Korea. However during Japanese occupation of Korea (1910-1945), the Japanese imperialists changed the K to C to prevent Corea coming before Japan in the alphabetical lineup of nations. Many countries such as France, Spain, Italy and Brazil never accepted "K" spelling while it is generally accepted in English speaking countries.
