Three Kingdoms of Korea

The Three Kingdoms of Korea were Goguryeo, Baekje and Silla, which dominated the Korean peninsula and parts of Manchuria for much of the 1st millennium CE. The Three Kingdoms period in Korea is usually considered to run from the 1st century BCE (overlapping with the Samhan period in southern Korea) until Silla's triumph over Goguryeo in 668 (resulting in Unified Silla and Balhae states).
