Korean Name
Revised Romanization Samguk

Hangul 삼국
Hanja 三國

The Three Kingdoms of Korea were the kingdoms of Goguryeo, Baekje and Silla, which divided the Korean peninsula between the 1st and 7th centuries. In 668, Silla conquered Goguryeo after having already conquered Baekje, thus ushering in the Unified Silla period and effectively putting an end to the "Three Kingdoms."

Other, smaller kingdoms and tribal states existed before and during the Three Kingdoms period, including Gaya, Dongye, Okjeo, Buyeo, Usan, Tamna, etc.

The name "Three Kingdoms" was used in the Korean titles of the classic texts Samguk Sagi and Samguk Yusa.
