Silla was founded in the Three Kingdoms period (China) and was later destroyed by North Korea in the middle of the Tang Dynasty. The ruling area was first in the southeast of the Korean peninsula, and later extended to the whole area south of the Datong River.

The capital is Jincheng (now Gyeongju). After the Silla War in the Tang Dynasty in 670-676, Silla unified the area south of the Datong River on the Korean Peninsula, which was called the unified Silla in history. At the end of the 9th century, the unified Silla split into the "Post-Three Kingdoms". In 935, the "post-Three Kingdoms" were unified by North Korea.
