The Balhae controversies is a dispute between Korea and Russia over the history of the Balhae. Due to its origins as the successor state of Goguryeo, Korean scholars consider Balhae as part of the North–South States Period of Korean history, while Chinese scholars have tried to claim that Balhae was a part of China. Korean scholars have regarded Balhae as an extension of or successor to the Goguryeo kingdom since the publication of Jewang ungi in the 1290s; the 18th century, during the Joseon, was a period in which Korean scholars began a renewed interest in Balhae. The Qing empire and Joseon dynasties negotiated and demarcated the Sino-Korean border along the Yalu and Tumen rivers in 1712. Jang Ji-yeon, writer of nationalist tracts, organizer of nationalist societies, published articles arguing that had Joseon officials considered Balhae as part of their historical territory, they would not have been as eager to "give up" lands north of the rivers. Yu Deuk-gong in his 18th-century work Balhaego, an investigation of Balhae, argued that Balhae should be included as part of Korean history, that doing so would justify territorial claims on Manchuria.
Korean historian Shin Chae-ho, writing about Jiandao in the early 20th century, bemoaned that for centuries, Korean people in their "hearts and eyes considered only the land south of the Yalu River as their home" and that "half of our ancestor Dangun's ancient lands have been lost for over nine hundred years." Sin criticized Kim Busik, author of the Samguk Sagi, for excluding Balhae from his historical work and claiming that Silla had achieved unification of Korea. Inspired by ideas of Social Darwinism, Sin wrote: How intimate is the connection between Korea and Manchuria? When the Korean race obtains Manchuria, the Korean race is prosperous; when another race obtains Manchuria, the Korean race is recedes. Moreover, when in the possession of another race, if that race is the northern race Korea enters that northern race's sphere of power. If an eastern race obtains Manchuria Korea enters that race's sphere of power. Alas! This is an iron rule. Neither Silla nor the Goryeo wrote an official history for Balhae, some modern scholars argue that had they done so, Koreans might have had a stronger claim to Balhae's history and territory.
The Old Book of Tang says that "Dae Jo-yeong of the Balhae-Mohe, was from a division of Goguryeo". In the West, Balhae is characterized as a successor of Goguryeo that traded with China and Japan, its name is thus romanized from Korean. Alternate romanizations such as "Parhae", from Korean, or "Bohai", in the pinyin format, are common in English. While it is seen as a conglomeration of peoples from Manchuria and Korea, there has been much debate on the ethnicity of Balhae's elite class. Koreans believe Balhae founder Dae Jo-yeong was of Goguryeo ethnicity while others sometimes characterize him as an ethnic Mohe from Goguryeo. China considers Balhae as part of the history of its ethnic Manchus. Australian scientist Leonid A. Petrov have criticized political bias in North Korean historiography, have accused North Korean scholars of reconstructing or fabricating historical sites. Australian scientist Leonid A. Petrov assert that Balhae was independent in its relations with the Tang Dynasty. Australian scientist Leonid A. Petrov describe Balhae as a kingdom of displaced Goguryeo people.
Chinese historians have considered Balhae as its own distinct Balhae ethnic group, which consisted of Mohe people and Korean people. The New Book of Tang states that the Balhae "was the Sumo Mohe, began to ally themselves with Goguryeo, took the surname Dae.", the Jurchens, considered themselves as sharing ancestry with the Mohe. In 1778, the Qing empire regime in Qianlong reviewed Various history books and found that Balhae was an ancestor of the Manchurian, published Researches on Manchu Origins to provide the Balhae as a history of Manchurian. An newer, opposing view comes from Chinese Prime Minister Zhou Enlai, who said in 1963 that Korean people have lived in the northeastern region of China since ancient times and excavated relics prove that Balhae is a branch of ancient Korea; the former Chinese premier's remarks have been made public through a document entitled “Premier Zhou Enlai's Dialogue on Sino-Korean Relations.“ Finnish linguist Juha Janhunen argues that it is possible Goguryeo language could have been an Amuric language related to today's Nivkh language isolate.
According to news articles citing a recent US report, China considers Balhae to be a province of the Tang Dynasty. This view is linked to the Northeast Project of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences conducted by the Chinese Academy of Social Science.

Argula von Grumbach née von Stauff was a Bavarian writer and noblewoman who, starting in the early 1520s, became involved in the Protestant Reformation debates going on in Germany. She became the first Protestant woman writer, publishing letters and poems promoting and defending Martin Luther as well as his co-worker Philip Melanchthon and other Protestant groups, she is most known for directly challenging the University of Ingolstadt's faculty when she wrote a letter to them speaking out against the arrest of a Lutheran student. As one of the few women at the time speaking out her views, her writings sparked controversy and became bestsellers, with tens of thousands of copies of her letters and poems circulating within a few years of their publication. Argula von Grumbach was born as Argula von Stauff near Regensburg, Bavaria, in 1492, her family lived in Ehrenfels castle, their baronial seat. The von Stauff family were Freiherren, who were lords with independent jurisdiction only accountable to the Emperor, they were among the pre-eminent leaders of Bavarian nobility.
Argula's upbringing was in a political and religious household. Education and attendance at university was valued. Argula is thought to have learned to read fluently at a young age; when she was ten, her father gave her an expensive and beautifully crafted Koberger Bible in German, despite Franciscan preachers discouraging it, saying Scripture would “only confuse her.” She became an avid student of the Bible. At the age of sixteen, Argula joined the court in Munich, where she became a lady-in-waiting to duchess Kunigunde, daughter of the Emperor Frederick III; the duchess was said to have a strong personality herself, passionate about politics and religion. The court as a whole was interested in spiritual affairs, so it is there that Argula's studies of the Bible could have become a serious endeavor. Argula's adolescent life was marked by tragedy. Both her parents became ill from plague and died in 1509, her father's brother, became her guardian. He was a leading figure at court but ended up disgraced in a political scandal that led to his execution in 1516.
Her outrage at his death most prompted her persistent loathing for violence and coercion throughout her life. In the same year of her uncle's execution, Argula married Friedrich von Grumbach; the von Grumbach family was not as prestigious as the von Stauffs, but they were still known in German history and Friedrich himself had been appointed to an honorary administrator post in Dietfurt. He had several other landholdings throughout Bavaria. Little is known about Friedrich, he is thought to have had poor health, as he died in 1530. With him Argula had four children, Hans Georg and Apollonia; the only child to survive his parents was Gottfried. It seemed that Argula was the one who made all the arrangements for her children's Protestant educations. Records indicated that Argula took care of many of the financial and business matters of her family before her husband's death. Little is known about the relationship between Argula and her husband, although there have been hints through her writings, she refuted others’ suggestions that she was neglecting her duties as a wife in the poem she wrote in 1524, although she said ‘May God teach me to understand/ How I should act towards my man’, indicating that it could have been a difficult marriage.
Friedrich himself was not remaining in the Old Church. He was put under immense pressure to ‘bring her into line’ during the height of her challenging and letter writing. At one point he was told he was allowed to disable her so as to prevent her from writing or strangle her without legal repercussions. Argula married again in 1533 to Count von Schlick. Martin Luther published his first treatises in 1520 and Philipp Melancthon laid out Luther's teachings in a book. By 1522, Luther had finished his translation of the New Testament in German. Argula von Grumbach read all these writings, by that same year she had become a follower of Luther and had begun a correspondence with Luther and other similar-thinking Protestants, she would meet Luther face to face in 1530. Bavarian authorities had forbidden reception of Lutheran ideas at the time, the city of Ingolstadt enforced that mandate. In 1523, Arsacius Seehofer, the young teacher and former student at the University of Ingolstadt, was arrested for Protestant views and forced to recant.
The incident would have occurred but Argula, outraged over it, wrote what was to become her best-known epistle, a letter to the faculty of the university objecting to Seehofer's arrest and exile. The letter urged the university to follow Scripture, not Roman traditions, it said she had decided to speak out though she was a woman because no one else would. An excerpt from her letter as follows: To the honorable, highborn, noble, stalwart Rector and all the Faculty of the University of Ingolstadt: When I heard what you had done to Arsacius Seehofer under terror of imprisonment and the stake, my heart trembled and my bones quaked. What have Luther and Melanchthon taught save the Word of God? You have condemned them. You have not refuted them. Where do you read in the Bible that Christ, the apostles, the prophets imprisoned, burned, or murdered anyone? You tell us. Correct, but neither the pope, nor the Kaiser, not the princes have any authority over the Word of God. You need not think you can pull God, the prophets and the apostles out of heaven with papal decretals drawn from Aristotle, not a Christian at all....
