Goryeo emerged during the declining period of [[Silla]]. Founded in 918 by [[Wang Geon]], later given the title King Taejo, it united the [[Three Kingdoms Period|Later Three Kingdoms]] in 936. By the late 13th century, Goryeo lost much of its power under the [[Mongol Yuan dynasty]], but regained control in the 14th century. Soon thereafter, however, the royal family was  overthrown by general [[Yi Seong-gye]] who went on to found the [[Joseon Dynasty]] in 1392.In total, the dynasty lasted 474 years. At its height, Goryeo's territories spanned almost all of the Korean peninsula, roughly giving shape to the current territory of present-day Korea and creating administrative boundaries which became the basis for those of today. Prior to this, the peninsula had been comprised of multiple Korean kingdoms occupying various regions, some of which reached into Manchuria.

The Goryeo Kingdom came to power in 935 AD after absorbing Silla. Goryeo adopted Buddhism as its national religion, and several excellent Buddhist works of art were produced during this period. The kingdom also maintained an open foreign policy. Thus, the Goryeo Kingdom became known among foreigners as 'Korea.' Goryeo lasted for around 470 years until the rise of the Joseon Dynasty at the end of the 14th century.

The Goryeo Dynasty (918-1392) was founded by Wang Geon, a general who had served under Gungye, a rebel prince of the Silla Kingdom. Choosing his native town of Songak (present-day Gaeseongn in North Korea) as the capital, Wang Geon proclaimed the goal of recovering the lost territory of the Goguryeo Kingdom in northeast China.

Wang Geon named his dynasty Goryeo, from which the modern name Korea is derived. Although the Goryeo Dynasty could not reclaim lost lands, it achieved a sophisticated culture represented by cheongja or blue-green celadon and flourishing Buddhist tradition. No less significant was the invention of the world's first movable metal type in 1234, which preceded the Gutenberg Bible of Germany by two centuries. About that time, skilled Korean artisans also completed the herculean task of carving the entire Buddhist canon on large woodblocks.

These woodblocks, numbering more than 80,000, were intended to invoke the influence of Buddha for the repulsion of the Mongol invaders. Called the Tripitaka Koreana, they are now stored at the historic Haeinsa Temple.
