 You have entered the fascinating world of the Koryo Dynasty, 918-1392 AD. The Koryo Dynasty successfully achieved the unfication of the Latter Three Kingdoms. King T'aejo laid the foundation of the dynasty that would last close to five hundred years. The birth of this newly found Korean identity set the stage for generations to come. The period went through political, social, and cultural changes.
