Three Kingdoms of Korea
The Three Kingdoms of Korea (Korean: 삼국시대; Hanja: 三國時代) or Samhan of Korea, refers to the period in Korean history when the peninsula was divided into three major kingdoms: Goguryeo, Paekche, and Silla (also known as the "Samhan" kingdoms) following the Proto–Three Kingdoms period. These Samhan kingdoms competed for hegemony over the Korean Peninsula during the ancient period of Korean history.
