Note: The largest of the three kingdoms into which ancient Korea was divided until 668. Koguryo is traditionally said to have been founded in 37 BCE in the Tongge River basin of northern Korea by Chu-mong, leader of one of the Puyo tribes native to the area, but modern historians believe it is more likely that the tribal state was formed in the 2nd century BCE. It was destroyed by the T'ang by 668 CE; the Chinese withdrew in 676 and the Peninsula was unified under Silla, a centralised state formed along Chinese concepts. |
