Goguryeo–Han Wars

Goguryeo–Han Wars

The Goguryeo-Han Wars were a series of wars between the infant Goguryeo kingdom and the rulers of Han China.

Goguryeo

Goguryeo was an ancient kingdom located in southern Manchuria (present-day Northeast China), southern Russian Maritime province, and the northern and central parts of the Korean peninsula. Goguryeo developed into an ancient state in the first century and expanded its power in the region. In the time of Taejo of Goguryeo in 53, five local tribes were reorganized into five centrally ruled districts of the kingdom. Foreign relations and the military were controlled by the king. It was one of the Three Kingdoms of Korea, along with Baekje and Silla, and it is also considered an important regional kingdom in Manchuria by the People's Republic of China. It was an active participant in the power struggle for control of the Korean peninsula as well as the foreign affairs of associated polities in China and Japan.

Goguryeo-Han Wars

In the Goguryeo-Han Wars Taejo successfully expanded Goguryeo by attacking Han China's commanderies of Lelang, Xiantu, and Liaodong in the Korean and Liaodong peninsulas, becoming fully independent from the Han commanderies. [Harv|MyGoguryeo|Unknown year]

Continuing its expansion to the northwest, Goguryeo began large-scale, organized attacks against ChinaFact|date=June 2007, as well as conquering neighboring polities such as Okjeo and Dongye. New laws regulated peasants and the aristocracy, as tribal leaders continued to be absorbed into the central aristocracy. Royal succession changed from fraternal to patrilineal, strengthening the royal court.
