Goguryeo Kingdom
--------------------------
Goguryeo or Koguryo was an ancient Korean kingdom.
Along with Baekje & Silla, Goguryeo was one of the Three Kingdoms of Korea. Goguryeo was active in the power struggle for control of the Korean peninsula & was associated with the foreign affairs of neighboring polities in China & Japan.
The Samguk Sagi, a 12th century Goryeo text, indicates that Goguryeo was founded in 37 BC by Jumong, a prince from Buyeo, although there is archaeological & textual evidence that suggests Goguryeo culture was in existence since the 2nd century BC around the fall of Go Joseon, an earlier Korean kingdom.
Goguryeo existed in Northeast Asia, until it was defeated by a Silla-Tang alliance in 668 AD. After its defeat, its territory was divided among the Silla, Balhae, & Tang kingdoms.
The name Goguryeo was inherited by Goryeo dynasty (918 - 1392), from which the English word "Korea" stemmed.
Goguryeo had interactions with other Korean kingdoms, various Chinese & Japanese kingdoms, the Mohe & Khitan tribes, & the Göktürks.
Goguryeo's ally in the southwest, Baekje, fell to the Silla-Tang alliance in 660; the victorious allies continued their assault on Goguryeo for the next eight years.
In summer 666, Yeon Gaesomun died & was initially succeeded as Dae Mangniji by his oldest son Yeon Namsaeng. As Yeon Namsaeng subsequently carried out a tour of Goguryeo territory, however, rumors began to spread both that Yeon Namsaeng was going to get rid of his younger brothers Yeon Namgeon and Yeon Namsan, whom he had left in charge at the capital, & that the brothers were planning to rebel against Yeon Namsaeng. When Yeon Namsaeng subsequently sent officials close to him back to the capital to try to see the situation, Yeon Namgeon arrested them and declared himself Dae Mangniji, attacking his brother. Yeon Namsaeng sent his son Gwon Saseong, as Yeon Namsaeng changed his family name from Yeon to Gwon, to Tang to seek aid. Emperor Gaozong of Tang saw this as the opportunity and he sent an army to destroy Goguryeo.
In 667, Chinese army crossed the Liao River & captured Sinseong. The Tang forces thereafter fought off counterattacks by Yeon Namgeon & joined forces with Yeon Namsaeng, although they were initially unable to cross the Yalu River. In spring 668, Li Ji turned his attention to Goguryeo's northern cities, capturing the important city of Buyeo. In fall 668, he crossed the Yalu River & put the capital under siege in concert with the Silla army.
Yeon Namsan & King Bojang surrendered, & while Yeon Namgeon continued to resist in the inner city, the Buddhist monk Shin Seong turned against him & surrendered the inner city to Tang forces. Yeon Namgeon tried to commit suicide, but was seized and treated. This was the end of Goguryeo, & Tang annexed Goguryeo into its territory, with Xue Rengui being put initially in charge of former Goguryeo territory as protector general.
The tombstone of Yeon Namsan found in Luoyang says Yeon, son of Goguryeo's leader Yeon Gaesomun, is a Joseon person. This refers to the Go Joseon kingdom.
However, there was much resistance to Tang rule (fanned by Silla, which was displeased that Tang did not give it Goguryeo or Baekje's territory), and in 669, following Emperor Gaozong's order, a part of the Goguryeo people were forced to move to the region between the Yangtze River & the Huai River, as well as the regions south of the Qinling Mountains & west of Chang'an, only leaving some inhabitants in the original land.
Silla thus unified most of the Korean peninsula in 668, but the kingdom's reliance on the Tang Dynasty had its price. Tang set up the Protectorate General to Pacify the East, governed by Xue Rengui, but faced problems ruling the inhabitants of Goguryeo, as well as Silla's resistance to Tang's presence on the Korean Peninsula. Silla had to forcibly resist the imposition of Chinese rule over the entire peninsula, which lead to the Silla-Tang Wars, but their own strength did not extend beyond the Taedong River.
Revival attempts of Goguryeo included the Little Goguryeo, Bodeok, Balhae, Je, Taebong (Hugoguryeo or Majin), & Goryeo kingdoms.
Goguryeo artifacts, tombs, & murals have been found in Korea & China. Some resemble those from kingdoms such as Baekje & Goryeo. It is believed by some that elements of the Takamatsuzuka tomb in Japan were influenced by Korean & Chinese cultures.
