Where is Korea in the Tang Dynasty now? Which country is Korea?

North Korea is the second unified country after Silla in Korean history. At the end of the Tang Dynasty, which was also the last year of Silla, Silla government gradually declined. In 9 18, Wang Jian made North Korea his capital and opened Beijing. In 935, Silla, another regime on the Korean peninsula, was replaced, and Baekje was destroyed the following year, unifying most of the south-central part of the peninsula. So, where is Korea in the Tang Dynasty now? Besides, what is the name of ancient Korea now? Let's have a look.

Where is Korea in the Tang Dynasty now? Korea in the Tang Dynasty was located in the northeast of the Tang Dynasty. Silla gradually declined after Goguryeo and Baekje perished. At the end of the Tang Dynasty, farmers on the Korean Peninsula revolted. At this time, there were three rebel armies in North Korea, which successively established Baekje, Taifeng and Koryo in North Korea. Finally, North Korea destroyed Silla Dynasty in 935 and finally unified the Korean Peninsula.

After Wang Jian established the Korean regime in 9 18, he actively expanded his territory to the north. For this reason, there were contradictions, disputes and even conflicts with Liao (see Liao-Han War). If Wang Jian adopted the strategy of appeasing and being close to the people in dealing with the nobles in North Korea, in sharp contrast, Wang Jian adopted the strategy of actively moving northward in the northern part of the Korean Peninsula and expanded his territory. During the Liao Dynasty, North Korea extended its northern boundary from Datong River in Silla to the middle and upper reaches of Qingchuan River to the lower reaches of Yalu River, and its territory greatly exceeded Silla.

Later, South Korea surrendered to the Song Dynasty in the Central Plains, along with Khitan and Nuzhen. Later, Mongolia attacked Korea, and Korea surrendered and became a vassal state of the Yuan Dynasty. At the end of the yuan dynasty, the yuan dynasty was unable to take charge, and the Korean dynasty was restored.

So, what is the name of ancient Korea now? Ancient Korea is now North Korea and South Korea.

In the early Ming Dynasty, Koryo sent Li Chenggui to attack Liaodong, China, but Li Chenggui staged a coup and Koryo perished. Li Chenggui was renamed Korea, which was a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty. 1636, the Manchu occupied Korea, and Korea became a vassal state of the Qing Dynasty.

At the end of the Qing Dynasty, the Sino-Japanese Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, the Qing Dynasty was defeated, and Japan controlled Korea. The following year, Emperor Gaozong of Korea established Korea with the support of Russia. After that, Korea was changed to South Korea, and Japan began to rule the Korean Peninsula at 19 10, and Gaozong abdicated. During World War II, the Republic of Korea temporarily established the "Korean Recovery Army" and the "Korean Volunteer Army" with the help of China, and Japan moved back to the island after the defeat.

1945 Japan surrendered, and the Soviet Union and the United States accepted Japan's surrender at 38 degrees north latitude. With the support of the United States and the Soviet Union, 1948 established the Republic of Korea and the Democratic People's Republic of Korea. Since then, the Korean peninsula has been divided into two countries.
