The Kingdom of Goryeo (고려

) was the first fully unified kingdom in Korean history. This kingdom was ruled by the Korean Wang Dynasty (918-1392) until it was forced into becoming a compulsory ally of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty, under which the power of Goryeo kings waned. The Kingdom of Goryeo finally collapsed when Yi Seong-gye, a general of Goryeo, overthrew the ruling family and established the Kingdom of Joseon.
