Silla–Tang Wars

Years: 670 - 676

The Silla-Tang War occurs in the 7th century between the Korean kingdom of Silla and the Chinese Tang Dynasty and begins in the geopolitical context immediately following the Goguryeo–Tang War.

Rather than a formal war, it proves to be more of a series of military engagements between the two powers, formerly allies, with each side attempting to secure its gains from the Goguryeo-Tang War.This victory for Silla, and the maintenance of Silla's independence, is generally regarded as a critical turning point in Korean history.

“History is important. If you don't know history it is as if you were born yesterday. And if you were born yesterday, anybody up there in a position of power can tell you anything, and you have no way of checking up on it.”

—Howard Zinn, You Can't Be Neutral ... (2004)
