Korea

How korea started out


No one can date back to when civilisation firsrt came to Korea. however there are records that there were stoneage farmers living there in 4000 BC. From 57BC to 18BC Korea was being split up into three kingdoms, Silla, Goguryeo and Baekje.


Silla was founded in 57 BC by Bak Hyeokgeose. The same as the other two kingdoms Silla was highly influenced by china and their way of life. in 4 AD  Silla was had a high population count. to decide who would get the throne Silla created a council who would have the power to choose. This council was created up of nobles who had previously been to the university of Confucian classics. as they have in China. Buddhist temples were being built in 4 AD as the religion came into Korea. in 8 AD the council couldn't agree on who should be the next leader to take the throne. because of this the people in the running for the throne began to break away from society and form their own mini states. they called themselves warlords. In 918AD warlord Wang Geon became the ruler of Silla. he had previously formed Goryeo.
