The Third Han (Korean: 丙韓; Byeong Han) was a nation that existed from the dissolvement of the Daikon in 1812, to 1905, when the Han peninsula was annexed by Empire of Ilban.
The Third Han came into existence after the December Coup, when military leader Cho Guk marched the Royal Army into the Royal Palace and ousted Ilban loyalists, proclaiming a new sovereign nation and restoring Han Clan rule. Due to an unstable political state at home, the coup was met with little resistance by Japan, and all Japanese troops withdrew from all territories claimed by the new Han.
