The Kingdoms of Korea
For much of history, China dominated Korea. In 108 B.C., the Koreans drove China out of Korea. For the next three and a half centuries, Korea was divided into three kingdoms: Koguryo, Paekche, and Silla.



The kingdom of Silla, the smallest kingdom, lasted from 57 B.C. until 935 A.D. -- almost a thousand years. Constantly threatened by the other kingdoms and the Chinese, Silla was the center of development of the early Korean fighting styles. Young noblemen called the hwarang were Silla’s greatest warriors.

Did You Know?
Nine out of ten organisms live in seawater.

The evaporation of water from the surface of the sea and the movement of air across the oceans is responsible for creating most of the world’s weather.

Oceanic icebergs are not really frozen seawater. As the water freezes, the salt ions (Na and Cl) are almost completely pushed out by the crystalline structure of the freezing water.
