Who are the ancestors of Koreans?

In ancient times, there lived a group of tribes in the Chungcheong Province on the Korean Peninsula, collectively known as Sanhan, namely Maghan, Chenhan, and Benhan.

Samhan people are the ancestors of Koreans in North Korea. Later a country called Silla was established.

During the Tang Dynasty, Goguryeo, which came from northeastern China, had developed its power to the northern part of the Korean Peninsula. Silla was afraid that Goguryeo would annex it, so it asked for help from the Tang Dynasty.

The Tang Dynasty helped Silla and destroyed Baekje, a subsidiary state of Goguryeo, and later destroyed Goguryeo. In order to effectively suppress Goguryeo and restore the country, the Tang Dynasty signed a treaty with Silla and gave the northern and southeastern parts of the Korean Peninsula to Silla. In this way, Silla people immigrated to the entire Korean Peninsula.

After Silla occupied the entire Korean Peninsula, it began to learn the system and culture from the Tang Dynasty and established the Silla Dynasty.

The Silla Dynasty later split into the three kingdoms of Goryeo, Baekje, and Silla. The Goryeo and Baekje here are not the previous Goguryeo and Baekje, but were established by the Silla people under the guise of Goguryeo and Baekje. country. (Just like the relationship between the Northern Wei and Cao Wei, the country had the same name, but the rulers were different)

Later, Goryeo unified the three kingdoms and established the Goryeo Dynasty. Then the Goryeo Dynasty was destroyed by Li Chenggui, who was canonized by the Ming Dynasty and established the Joseon Kingdom, which was known as Lee's Joseon in history. Lee's Korea later surrendered to the Qing Dynasty. After the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1894, the Qing Dynasty was defeated, and Lee's Korea was renamed the Korean Empire (the Korean Empire broke away from the control of the Qing Dynasty). Afterwards, Japan annexed the Korean Empire.

All the royal families of the Korean Empire were executed. After that, Koreans (North Koreans) began to flee and restore the country. Among them, Jin Gu proposed the idea of ??establishing the Republic of Korea.

Then, after World War II, Japan was defeated, the Yalta Agreement prepared to separate the Korean Peninsula from Japan, and Kim Koo prepared to restore the country. However, the shameful Americans assassinated Kim Koo and supported Syngman Rhee in order to control the Korean Peninsula. ; The Soviet Union watched the United States support Syngman Rhee and also supported Kim Il Sung to compete with it. Then North Korea and South Korea emerged, two countries in confrontation between the North and the South.
