	Balhae (Korean) or Bohai (Chinese) was a kingdom in northeast Asia from AD 698 to 926, occupying parts of Manchuria, northern Korea, and Russian Far East. Balhae was founded by ] the leader of ] remnants. It was conquered by the ] in 926.

	In the confusion of the Khitan attack against the ] in 696, Goguryeo remnants, led by ] and Sumo Mohe tribe, led by ] , escaped eastward to their homeland. The two leaders died but Dae Jo young, the son of Geolgeol Jung sang, established the State of Jin. Dae Joyŏng established his capital at Dongmu Mountain in the south of today's ] province. Since it gained power under protection of the northern nomadic empire of ], Tang gave Dae Jo young the title of "Prefecture King of Bohai" in 713. Balhae had been a Chinese prefecture, but since then referred to the kingdom. The title was upgraded to "State King of Bohai" in 762.

	The second king Mu , who felt encircled by Tang, ] and Black Water Mohe along the ], attacked Tang and his navy briefly occupied a port on the ] in 732. Later, a compromise was forged between Balhae and Tang, which resumed tributary mission to Tang. He also sent a mission to ] in 728 to threaten Silla from the rear. Balhae kept diplomatic and commercial contacts with Japan until the end of the kingdom. Because of its proximity to many powerful states, Balhae became a buffer zone for the region.

	The third king Mun expanded its territory into the Amur valley in the north and the ] in the west. He also established the permanent capital near Lake Jingpo in the south of today's ] province around 755.

	After destroying Balhae in 926, the Khitan established the puppet ], which was soon followed by the annexation by ] in 936. Balhae aristocrats were moved to Liaoyang but small fragments of the state remained semi-independent. Some Balhae people fled southward to ], including a son of the last king. Some descendants of the royal family live in Korea, changing their family name to Tae (太). The Jurchen ] favored the Balhae people as well as the Khitans. The fourth, fifth and seventh emperors were mothered by Balhae concubines. The 13th century census of Northern China by the Mongols distinguished Balhae from other ethnic groups such as ] , ] and ]. This suggests that the Balhae people still preserved their identity.
