King Jungcheon of ___MASK63___ ( 224 -- 270 , r . 248 -- 270 ) was the 12th ruler of ___MASK63___ , the northernmost of the Three Kingdoms of Korea . ___MASK98___ ( 57 BC  935 AD ) was one of the Three Kingdoms of Korea , and one of the world ' s longest sustained dynasties . Although it was founded by King Park Hyeokgeose , the dynasty was ruled by the Gyeongju Kim (  ,  ) clan for most of its 992 - year history . It began as a chiefdom in the Samhan confederacies , once allied with ___MASK90___ , but ___MASK98___ eventually conquered the other two kingdoms , Baekje in 660 and Goguryeo in 668 . Thereafter , Unified ___MASK98___ or Later ___MASK98___ , as it is often referred to , occupied most of the Korean Peninsula , while the northern part re - emerged as Balhae , a successor - state of Goguryeo . After nearly 1000 years of rule , ___MASK98___ fragmented into the brief Later Three Kingdoms , ___MASK98___ , Hubaekje , and Taebong , handing over power to its successor dynasty Goryeo in 935 . ___MASK55___ , also spelled as Kory ( 918  1392 ), was a Korean dynasty established in 918 by King Taejo . This kingdom later gave name to the modern exonym " Korea ". It united the Later Three Kingdoms in 936 and ruled most of the Korean Peninsula until it was removed by the founder of the ___MASK46___ in 1392 . ___MASK55___ expanded Korea ' s borders to present - day Wonsan in the northeast ( 936  943 ), the Yalu River ( 993 ) and finally almost the whole of the Korean Peninsula ( 1374 ). ___MASK5___ is a historical state in East Asia , since 1945 divided into two distinct sovereign states : ___MASK22___ ( officially the " Democratic People ' s Republic of ___MASK5___ ") and ___MASK14___ ( officially the " Republic of ___MASK5___ "). Located on the Korean Peninsula , ___MASK5___ is bordered by China to the northwest and Russia to the northeast . It is separated from Japan to the east by the ___MASK5___ Strait and the East Sea . ___MASK63___ (, 37 BCE  668 CE ) or ___MASK55___ , was one of the ancient Three Kingdoms of Korea , located in the northern and central parts of the Korean Peninsula and the southern and central parts of inner and outer Manchuria . ___MASK63___ was an active participant in the power struggle for control of the Korean peninsula and was also associated with the foreign affairs of neighboring polities in ___MASK90___ and Japan . The Three Kingdoms ( AD 220  280 ) was the tripartite division of ___MASK90___ between the states of Wei , Shu , and Wu , following the Han dynasty and preceding the Jin dynasty . The term " Three Kingdoms " itself is something of a mistranslation , since each state was eventually headed not by a king , but by an emperor who claimed legitimate succession from the Han dynasty . Nevertheless , the term " Three Kingdoms " has become standard among sinologists . To further distinguish the three states from other historical Chinese states of similar names , historians have added a relevant character : Wei is also known as Cao Wei , Shu is also known as Shu Han , and Wu is also known as Dong ( or Eastern ) Wu . The Korean Peninsula is a peninsula in East Asia . It extends southwards for about from continental Asia into the Pacific Ocean and is surrounded by the Sea of ___MASK57___ ( East Sea ) to the east , and the Yellow Sea ( West Sea ) to the west , the Korea Strait connecting the first two bodies of water . ___MASK90___ , officially the People ' s Republic of ___MASK90___ ( PRC ), is a unitary sovereign state in East Asia . With a population of over 1 . 381 billion , it is the world ' s most populous country . The state is governed by the Communist Party of ___MASK90___ , and its capital is Beijing . It exercises jurisdiction over 22 provinces , five autonomous regions , four direct - controlled municipalities ( Beijing , Tianjin , Shanghai , and Chongqing ), and two mostly self - governing special administrative regions ( Hong Kong and Macau ), and claims sovereignty over Taiwan . The country ' s major urban areas include Shanghai , Guangzhou , Beijing , Chongqing , Shenzhen , Tianjin and Hong Kong . ___MASK90___ is a great power and a major regional power within Asia , and has been characterized as a potential superpower . Dongye , which means the Eastern Ye , was a Korean chiefdom which occupied portions of the northeastern Korean peninsula from roughly 3rd - century BC to around early 5th - century . It bordered ___MASK63___ and Okjeo to the north , Jinhan to the south , and ___MASK90___ ' s Lelang Commandery to the west . Today , this territory consists of the provinces of South Hamgyng and Kangwon in North Korea , and Gangwon in ___MASK14___ . It is believed to be one of the ancient tribes that were formed into the Tungusic peoples . The concept of the Three Kingdoms of ___MASK5___ refers to the three kingdoms of Baekje (  ), ___MASK98___ (  ) and Goguryeo (  ), which was later known as ___MASK55___ (  ), from which the name " ___MASK5___ " is derived . The Three Kingdoms period was defined as being from 57 BC to 668 AD ( but there existed about 78 tribal states in the southern region of Korean peninsula and relatively big states like Okjeo , Buyeo , and Dongye in its northern part and Manchuria ). Manchuria is a modern name , first created by Japanese , given to a large geographic region in Northeast Asia . Depending on the context , Manchuria can either refer to a region that falls entirely within the People ' s Republic of ___MASK90___ , or a larger region divided between ___MASK90___ and Russia . The region that falls entirely within modern ___MASK90___ is now usually referred to as Northeast ___MASK90___ in ___MASK90___ , although " Manchuria " is widely used outside of ___MASK90___ to denote the geographical and historical region . This region is the traditional homeland of the Xianbei , Khitan , and Jurchen ( later called Manchu ) peoples , who built several states historically , although no term for " Manchuria " exists in the Manchu language , which originally referred to the area as the " Three Eastern Provinces ". Baekje or Paekche ( 18 BC  660 AD ) was a kingdom located in southwest ___MASK5___ . It was one of the Three Kingdoms of ___MASK5___ , together with ___MASK63___ and ___MASK98___ .
