The Three Kingdoms of Korea or Samhan (Goguryeo, Baekje and Silla) competed for hegemony over the Korean Peninsula during the ancient period of Korean history.During the Three Kingdoms period (Korean: 삼국시대), [a] many states and statelets consolidated until, after Buyeo was annexed in 494 and Gaya was annexed in 562, only three remained on the Korean Peninsula: Goguryeo, Baekje and Silla.
This severely weakened Silla and soon thereafter, descendants of the former Baekje established Later Baekje. In the north, rebels revived Goguryeo, beginning the Later Three Kingdoms period. Unified Silla lasted for 267 years until, under King Gyeongsun, it was annexed by Goryeo in 935.
Soon, Goguryeo formed an alliance with Baekje and invaded Silla, Daeya-song (modern Hapchon) and around 40 border fortresses were conquered by the Goguryeo-Baekje alliance.

Silla (Korean pronunciation:; Old Korean: 徐羅伐, Yale: Syerapel, [8] RR: Seorabeol; IPA: Korean pronunciation: [sʌɾabʌɭ]) was a Korean kingdom that existed between 57 BCE [9] – 935 CE and was located on the southern and central parts of the Korean Peninsula. Silla, along with Baekje and Goguryeo, formed the Three Kingdoms of Korea.
Later Baekje attacked the Silla kingdom in 920 [1] and 924. [citation needed] Silla responded by calling on Later Goguryeo for assistance. When Baekje attacked and sacked the Silla capital of Gyeongju in 927, the Silla king Gyeongae of Silla (r. 924–927) was forced to commit suicide and a puppet ruler, Kim Pu installed in his place. [1]
History of the Three Kingdoms) is a historical record of the Three Kingdoms of Korea: Goguryeo, Baekje, and Silla. Completed in 1145, it is well-known in Korea as the oldest surviving chronicle of Korean history. [1] The Samguk sagi is written in Classical Chinese, the written language of the literati of ancient Korea.
The military officer Kyŏn Hwŏn revived Baekje in 892 with the descendants of the Baekje refugees, and the Buddhist monk Kung Ye revived Goguryeo in 901 with the descendants of the Goguryeo refugees; [43] [48] these states are called Later Baekje and Later Goguryeo in historiography, and together with Later Silla form the Later Three Kingdoms.
Baekje was established by immigrants from Goguryeo who spoke what could be a Buyeo language, a hypothetical group linking the languages of Gojoseon, Buyeo, Goguryeo, and Baekje. In a case of diglossia , the indigenous Samhan people, having migrated in an earlier wave from the same region, probably spoke a variety of the same language.
