Red Turban invasions of Goryeo

The Red Turban invasions of Goryeo occurred in the 14th century, when the Red Turban Rebellion spread during 1351-1368 to Goryeo (918–1392). The Red Turban rebels, originating in the Zhejiang area, were opposed to the Yuan dynasty (1279–1368) of China and the Mongolian plateau. Goryeo on the Korean Peninsula, which had been a vassal state of Yuan until 1356, became a target of the Red Turbans in 1359 and 1360.
