This research tries to analyse through the three aspects below on how western history theory was introduced during the formation of korean modern history since the end of 19 century and how it was appropriated: this research surveys first on how western history theory was introduced by the historians of western history, and secondly on how the historians of korean history accepted it, and finally on how the historians of korean history since the 1970s read the above korean modern history writings. The introduction of western history theory by the historians of western history was not done until the 1960s, by the reason of late development of western history researches in the korean academic world. And after the 1960s, it was done by the historians of western history who studied in Japan during the colonial period. Under such circumstances, without the help from historians of western history, the historians of korean modern history imported western history theory mainly from China and Japan, therefore it could be said that it is a retranslated history theory. In this process korean historians accepted western history theory selectively, and also did their own appropriation. In this sense it would be wrong to mention the influence of history of western history theory on korean historiography. The historians in the 1970s, who made efforts in overcoming the colonial historiography and in developing the modernity in korean historiography, interpreted the korean modern history writings into three categories, which is the Nationalist History, Positive History, and Social-economic History school. Such readings are our own appropriation of historical theory, but are problematic as well. Positive History School(실증사학) has the characteristic of reading the historical document strictly, but it could be said that such is the duty of every historian, and cannot be categorized independently as a historical school. In the same way, Nationalist History(민족주의사학) could be a tendency of historical writing in every country, and not itself a category of historical school. So we need new efforts to read korean modern historiograpy more deeply and go beyond the presented 3 categories. In this process of improving korean historical identities, we need to notice and make use of the transnational perspective more.
