Sim Sang-woo: Wang Geon: The king who unified the Later Three Kingdoms and founded Goryeo

Volume 46 of the "Textbook Biographies for Lower Grades," titled "Wang Geon: The King Who Unified the Later Three Kingdoms and Founded Goryeo," aids in children's character development and value formation. It covers the lives of great figures who overcame trials with passion and effort to achieve great accomplishments. Fifty-three children's literature authors were invited to present historical events in an engaging way, tailored to a child's perspective. Readers can identify which figures lived in each era and what major events occurred. The introduction provides guidance on reading instruction, while the end of the volume includes a chronology to help readers trace the footsteps of these great figures. Wang Geon was born in a turbulent era and lived with the ambition to unify the country and the people. However, as Gung Ye's power grew, he began to indulge in all manner of luxury and oppress the people. He even arbitrarily executed subjects who displeased him. Unable to tolerate this any longer, Wang Geon finally drove Gung Ye out of the palace and ascended to the throne. He then secured the surrender of Gyeon Hwon of Later Baekje and King Gyeongsun of Silla, thereby unifying the three kingdoms.
