Northeast Asia
Chronology of the Three Kingdoms
Compiled by Peter Kessler, 1999
|
|
|
57 BC - AD 676
This age marks a contentious period of Korean history in which various states
fought between themselves and the Han Chinese for control of
East Asia.
Omitted here is the history of Kaya (AD 42-562), which would more correctly
make the period "The Four Kingdoms", but its present title has long been in
common use.
