The name "Unified Silla" is a term that likely dates from after the division of Korea in 1945, and to some degree reflects modern-day political longings. Because of this, some historians suggest the term North-South States Period (남북국 시대, 南北國時代) to better reflect the fact that Silla did not unify the entire region. Although Silla did contribute to bring down Goguryeo, it was Tang Dynasty China that invaded with its allied forces from Kyrgyz tribes. The Tang assigned Kyrgyz to take control over most former Goguryeo territory under its supervision, and refugees of Goguryeo found Balhae state a few years later.
