List Of Rulers Of Korea
This is a list of monarchs of Korea, arranged by dynasty. Names are romanized according to the South Korean Revised Romanization of Korean. McCune–Reischauer romanizations may be found at the articles about the individual monarchs. Gojoseon Gojoseon (2333 BC – 108 BC) was the first Korean kingdom. According to legend, it was founded by Dangun in 2333 BC. Bronze Age archaeological evidence of Gojoseon culture is found in northern Korea and Liaoning. By the 9th to 4th century BC, various historical and archaeological evidence shows Gojoseon was a flourishing state and a self-declared kingdom. Both Dangun and Gija are believed to be mythological figures, but recent findings suggest and theorize that since Gojoseon was a kingdom with artifacts dating back to the 4th millennium BC, Dangun and Gija may have been royal or imperial titles used for the monarchs of Gojoseon, hence the use of Dangun for 1900 years. * :"An extreme manifestation of nationalism and the family cult was th ...

Initially titled Grand Prince Chungnyeong ( Korean: 충녕대군; Hanja: 忠寧大君), he was born as the third son of King Taejong and Queen Wongyeong. In 1418, he was designated as heir after his eldest brother, Crown Prince Yi Je, was stripped of his status. Today, King Sejong is regarded as one of the greatest leaders in Korean history. Despite ascending to the throne after his father's voluntary abdication in 1418, Sejong was a mere figurehead while Taejong continued to hold the real power and govern the country up till his death in 1422. Sejong was the sole monarch for the next 28 years, although after 1439 he became increasingly ill, and starting from 1442, his eldest son, Crown Prince Yi Hyang (the future King Munjong), acted as re ...

Galsabuyeo
Galsa Buyeo, also rendered as Galsa-guk or Hesi Fuyu, was an ancient kingdom founded by King of Galsa of Eastern Buyeo (Eastern Fuyu) in Manchuria, on the upstream of the Yalu River. History First king of Galsa feared that Eastern Buyeo would fall in ruins after the 22 assassination of his older brother Daeso, king of Eastern Buyeo. He moved south to Galsa river with 100 followers. Amnok(鴨淥) valley was the territory of an existing kingdom called the State of Haedu (海頭國) where its king frequently went hunting. Galsa killed this king and set the capital in that very river. The country was originally in good ties with Goguryeo. The country was fairly independent until 68 AD, when King Dodu (都頭) surrendered to Goguryeo and received the respectable bureaucratic position of U-dae (優台), which seems to be the head of his kinship. The country had three kings, and the name of the second king is unknown. See also * Buyeo * Eastern Buyeo Eastern Buyeo, also rendered ...

Northeast China
Northeast China or Northeastern China () is a geographical region of China, which is often referred to as "Manchuria" or "Inner Manchuria" by surrounding countries and the West. It usually corresponds specifically to the three provinces east of the Greater Khingan Range, namely Liaoning, Jilin, and Heilongjiang, but historically is meant to also encompass the four easternmost prefectures of Inner Mongolia west of the Greater Khingan. The heartland of the region is the Northeast China Plain, the largest plain in China, with an area over . It is separated from Russian Far East to the north by the Amur, Argun, and Ussuri rivers; from Korea to the south by the Yalu and Tumen Rivers; and from Inner Mongolia to the west by the Greater Khingan and parts of the Xiliao River. Due to the shrinking of its once-powerful industrial sector and decline of its economic growth and population, the region is often referred to as China's Rust Belt.
