 North Korea - The Period of the Three Kingdoms
The state of Paekche, which soon came to exercise great influence on Korean history, emerged first in the Mahan area; it is not certain when this happened, but Paekche certainly existed by 246 since Lolang mounted a large attack on it in that year.
Paekche, a centralized, aristocratic state that melded Chinese and indigenous influence, was a growing power: within a hundred years Paekche had demolished Mahan and continued to expand northward into the area of present-day South Korea around Seoul.
While a tattered Paekche kingdom nursed its wounds in the southwest, Silla allied with Chinese forces of the Sui and the successor Tang Dynasty (618-907) in combined attacks against Kogury.

In the early Paekche period, the first official post with a practical command of military was established with the institution of Chwa-jang.
King Kunch'ogo and then King Tongsong in their efforts to reinforce the royal authority successively dismantled the independent military base of powerful aristocrats, and, as a result, Chwa-jang became a part of bureaucratic system under the royal authority as a minister who was put in charge of military affairs by the king.

Paekche was frequently attacked by Koguryo during the century, prompting continued requests for assistance from Yamato; it is recorded that Paekche even sent a crown prince to Yamato as a hostage on one occasion and the mother of the king on another.
Yet, probably because of internal dissension, Yamato did not dispatch any troops to the peninsula, although a lengthy memorial sent with the embassy of 478 and presented to the Southern Sung emperor requested that the Yamato king Yuryaku be appointed commander of a large army being raised for dispatch against Koguryo.
Japan, which had traditionally been friendly with Paekche, sent a large army; it was crushed, however, in 663, by a T'ang-Silla army at the mouth of the Kum River.

Paekche Period Sculpture (18 B.C.~A.D. Buddhism was introduced to Paekche via Eastern Jin by an Indian monk named Maranant'a in 384, 12 years after it was introduced to Koguryo.
Characteristics unique to Paekche sculpture are clearly evident in all the Buddhist images of the late sixth century, including an agalmatolite seated Buddha and a gilt-bronze bodhisattva from Kunsu-ri, and stone reliefs of Buddhist triads in Sosan and T'aean.
Paekche sculpture can be described as being more refined and subtle, the result, perhaps, of its more temperate climate and fertile lands.

Despite the surrender of its throne, Paekche died neither quietly nor willingly.

Korea was in the last stages of its Three Kingdoms period with the powerful Koguryo kingdom occupying the northern part of the peninsula, Paekche to the southwest, and the Shilla to the southeast.
The packche was the weaker of the three during the seventh century, with the once powerful Koguryo slowly losing its sature and the rising Shilla Kingdom gaining momentum that would ultimately allow it to unite the peninsula under its rule in the later part of that century.
We also know that Kyebaek was fiercely loyal to the kingdom and its king even though the last years of Paekche had seen a disastrous decay in its strength largely due to a king who ignored his kingdom in favor of pursuing his personal pleasures.

conclude that the language of Paekche was basically a southern language, to which a northern language «superstratum» was superimposed.
Therefore, according to what it is said in this passage, the language of Paekche was almost the same as that of Koguryŏ, and this means that the language of the dominant population imposed itself to the detriment of the language of the dominated population.
The difficulty is given by the fact that, while Silla and Koguryŏ did always occupy the same territories, Paekche was partly formed by a northern population migrated to the South and partly by a local southern population.

 Early Korea
Silla and Paekche had sought to use Chinese power against Kogury, inaugurating another tradition of involving foreign powers in internal Korean disputes.
It seized Tang-occupied Paekche territories by 671, pushed Kogury still further northward, and drove the Tang commanderies off the peninsula by 676, thereby guaranteeing that the Korean people would develop independently, without outside influences.
After a crushing victory in 930 over Paekche forces at present-day Andong, South Korea, Kory obtained a formal surrender from Silla and proceeded to conquer Later Paekche by 935--amazingly, with troops led by former Paekche king Kynhwn, whose son had treacherously cast him aside.
