The war was caused by the ongoing Goguryeo–Tang War in which numerous attacks and raids were made by Baekje and Goguryeo against Silla. King Muyeol of Silla sought help from Emperor Gaozong of Tang, who launched the invasion of Paekche in 660. After the conquest of Paekche later that year, loyalist forces from Paekche with the aid of Yamato allies attempted to resist the occupation of their kingdom until the two allied forces were destroyed in 663. Background The Silla kingdom had formed a military alliance with the Tang empire under Emperor Gaozong's reign.
