Question

How did Korea’s government change after the Silla conquest?

Answer 1

After the Silla conquest, Korea's government changed from a decentralized system of local rulers to a centralized monarchy under the rule of the Silla royal family. The king was the absolute ruler and held all power in the government. The king appointed local officials to govern various regions of the kingdom, and the government implemented a system of taxation and land redistribution to maintain control over the people. The Silla dynasty also established a system of civil service examinations to select government officials based on merit rather than noble birth. This new government structure helped to stabilize and unify the Korean peninsula under the rule of the Silla dynasty.
