Balhae Kingdom
Balhae (698 - 926) was an ancient kingdom established after
the fall of Goguryeo, one of the Three Kingdoms of Korea. After
Goguryeo's capital and southern territories fell to Unified
Silla, Dae Jo-young, a former Goguryeo general, established
Jin, later called Balhae, by uniting various Korean and Malgal
tribes.
Balhae occupied southern parts of Manchuria and Primorsky Krai,
and the northern part of the Korean peninsula. It was defeated
by the Khitans in 926, after which it was partly absorbed by
Goryeo.
