Unified Silla (668–935) is the name often applied to the kingdom of Silla, one of the Three Kingdoms of Korea, after 668, when it conquered Baekje and Goguryeo to unify most of the Korean peninsula.
The name "Unified Silla" is a term that likely dates from after the division of Korea in 1945, and to some degree reflects modern-day political longings.

In the early 10th century, Taebong (also called Hu-Goguryeo ("Later Goguryeo")), which briefly rose in rebellion against Silla, also claimed to be a successor to Goguryeo, as did Goryeo, the state that succeeded Silla to rule a unified Korean peninsula.
The Goguryeo language is unknown except for a small number of words, which mostly suggests that it was similar to the language of Silla and influenced by the Tungusic languages.

 Kuk Sool Won Eastbourne: History of Kuk Sool Won
The unification of the three kingdoms came in a single decade, which saw a successful alliance between SILLA and the rulers of the Chinese TANG dynasty, who had observed that previous single-handed attempts by rulers of the preceding Chinese SUI dynasty had failed time after time to conquer KOGURYO.
As fierce battles raged between TANG and SILLA, revolts and uprisings began to flourish in the previously conquered territories of PAEKCHE and KOGURYO.
There is no doubt that SILLA's conquest of PAEKCHE and KOGURYO, and eventually the TANG forces - their former allies who had turned against them - was due to the decisive role played the HWA RANG.
