Three Kingdoms of Korea

Years: 57BCE - 668

The Three Kingdoms of Korea refer to the Korean kingdoms of Goguryeo, Baekje and Silla, which dominate the Korean peninsula and parts of Manchuria for much of the 1st millennium CE.

The Three Kingdoms period runs from 57 BCE until Silla's triumph over Goguryeo in 668, which marks the beginning of the North and South States period of Unified Silla in the South and Balhae in the North.The earlier part of this period, before the three states developed into full-fledged kingdoms, is sometimes called the Proto-Three Kingdoms of Korea.

“Let us study things that are no more. It is necessary to know them, if only to avoid them. The counterfeits of the past assume false names, and gladly call themselves the future. Let us inform ourselves of the trap. Let us be on our guard. The past has a visage, superstition, and a mask, hypocrisy. Let us denounce the visage and let us tear off the mask."

― Victor Hugo, Les Misérables (1862)
