Wiman Joseon
Wiman Joseon (위만조선; 衛滿朝鮮) (194 - 108) was the continuation of Go-Joseon, founded by Wiman (Wei Man).
Wiman was from Yan in China, and made the capital in Wang____ (王險城), today P'yŏngyang. Although Sinicized, Wiman Joseon was not a colony of China.
Fearing the growing Joseon would ally with the Xiongnu, Emperor Wu of Han China launched an attack and destroyed Weiman Joseon.
