Years: 244 - 387
Peninsular geography shapes the political space of Baekje and Goguryeo, and a third kingdom, Silla.
In the central part of Korea, the main mountain range, the T'aebaek, runs north to south along the edge of the Sea of Japan (or, as Koreans prefer, the East Sea).
Approximately three-quarters of the way down the peninsula, however, roughly at the thirty-seventh parallel, the mountain range veers to the southwest, dividing the peninsula almost in the middle. This southwest extension, the Sobaek Range, shields peoples to the east of it from the Chinese-occupied portion of the peninsula but places no serious barrier in the way of expansion into or out of the southwestern portion of the peninsula.
This is Baekje's historical territory.
