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 Korea formally agreed to the provisions set out at the treaty of Fukuoka.
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.
The Third Han ceased to exist after the treaty of Fukuoka, which formally re-established Japanese rule over the Korean Peninsula and founded the Empire of Nin.
