Baekje

In this episode, we explore the story of Paekche (Baekje), one of Korea's Three Kingdoms, which flourished from 18 BCE to 660 CE. Founded by King Onjo, Paekche expanded into a powerful kingdom before relocating its capitals during the Ungjin and Sabi periods and eventually falling to the Silla-Tang alliance. The discussion covers its political and social systems, military organization, culture, and the spread of Buddhism, as well as its rich connections with China and Japan-where its influence shaped art, technology, and religion long after its fall.
