Silla unified the Korean peninsula in 668 with Tang Chinese assistance, then expelled the Tang and governed the first unified Korean state for nearly three centuries in a Buddhist cultural florescence centered on Gyeongju.
Silla declined and disintegrated during the Later Three Kingdoms period; the last Silla king Gyeongsun surrendered to Wang Geon of Goryeo in 935 CE, peacefully ending the kingdom.
