    Silla was a Korean kingdom located in the southern and central parts of the Korean Peninsula that existed from 57 BCE to 935 CE. It began as a small chiefdom but eventually conquered the other two kingdoms of the Three Kingdoms period, Baekje in 660 and Goguryeo in 668 to control most of the Korean Peninsula. Silla transitioned power to Goryeo in 935 after nearly 1000 years of rule and fragmentation into smaller successor states in its later years. It was originally ruled by the Park clan but governance transitioned to the Kim and Seok clans over its history.

    김 金) clan for 586 years, the Miryang Bak (Park) (박, 朴) clan for 232 years
    Gyeongju Gim (Kim) ( ,
    and the Wolseong Seok (석, 昔) clan for 172 years. It began as a chiefdom in the Samhan
    confederacies, once allied with Sui China and then Tang China, until it eventually conquered the
    other two kingdoms, Baekje in 660 and Goguryeo in 668. Thereafter, Unified Silla occupied most
    of the Korean Peninsula, while the northern part re-emerged as Balhae, a successor-state of
    Goguryeo. After nearly 1,000 years of rule, Silla fragmented into the brief Later Three Kingdoms
    of Silla, Later Baekje, and Taebong, handing over power to Goryeo in 935.[7]
