| Additional Information |
Image was scanned from (faded) color slide. Note: "Paekche, one of three kingdoms into which ancient Korea was divided before 660. Occupying the southwestern tip of the Korean peninsula, Paekche is traditionally said to have been founded in 18 bc in the Kwangju area by a legendary leader named Onjo. By the 3rd century ad, during the reign of King Koi (234-286), Paekche emerged as a fully developed kingdom. By the reign of King Kŭnch'ogo (346-375), it had established control over a region that included the whole Han River basin in central Korea. In the late 5th century the northern Korean kingdom of Koguryŏ deprived Paekche of its territory in the Han River basin, and it moved its capital south to Ungjin (present Kongju). In the reign of King Sŏng (523-554), the kingdom was forced to move its capital even further south to Sabi (present Puyŏ), as more of its territory was occupied by Koguryŏ...In an attempt to contain Koguryŏ's attacks and recover some of its lost territory in the Han River basin, Paekche allied itself with Silla, the other southern Korean state, but it eventually lost this territory to Silla. In 660 its defeat by the allied forces of Silla and the Chinese T'ang dynasty (618-907) brought an end to its rule. Eight years later Silla's forces defeated the northern Korean state of Koguryŏ and united the Korean peninsula under the Unified Silla dynasty (668-935)."--Britannica Online Encyclopedia. |
