Goguryeo

From Heterodontosaurus Balls

Goguryeo (sometimes spelled Koguryŏ), later renamed Goryeo (Koryŏ) was an ancient Korean country in East Asia.

History

In 37 BC, Goguryeo became independent from Buyeo.

In the chaos following the fall of the Han Dynasty, the former commanderies of the dynasty had broken free of control and were now ruled by various independent warlords. Surrounded by these aggressive commanderies, Goguryeo moved to improve relations with the newly created dynasty of Cao Wei in China and sent tribute in 220. In 238, Goguryeo entered into a formal alliance with Wei to destroy the Liaodong commandery.

In the late 300s, he has conquered much of Manchuria, some of Siberia, and the northern part of the Korean Peninsula.

In 668, Goguryeo got killed by Silla and China.
