Ara Gaya, also known as Asiryangguk (아시량국, 阿尸良國), Ana Gaya (아나가야, 阿羅伽倻), and Alla (안라, 安羅) was a kingdom of the Gaya confederacy, in modern day South Korea. As the confrontational foreign policy of Daegaya failed, Ara Gaya and its less confrontational policy gained support in 540s.
By the 6th century, Gaya could not risk hostility of either Baekje or Silla. Ara Gaya put a great deal of effort into pursuing a diplomatic solution for maintaining its independence, including hostage of international meetings with Baekje, Japan.
But Gaya was too weak by that time; Northwestern Gaya states fell to Baekje influence and southeastern Gaya states fell to Silla influence. Ara Gaya sought its independence by allying with Goguryeo and asked Goguryeo to invade Baekje in 548. But this attempt to weaken Baekje influence failed as Goguryeo failed this campaign.
Gaya was a confederacy of chiefdoms in the Nakdong River valley of southern Korea, growing out of the Byeonhan confederacy and later annexed by Silla, one of the Three Kingdoms of Korea.
Gaya arose from the twelve tribes of the ancient Byeonhan, one of the Samhan confederacies.
Gaya exported abundant quantities of iron armor and weaponry to Baekje and the kingdom of Wa in Yamato period Japan.
Gaya (가야; 加耶, 伽耶, 伽倻), also known as Garak (가락; 駕洛, 迦落), Gara (가라; 加羅, 伽羅, 迦羅, 柯羅), Garyang(가량,加良), or Guya (구야, 狗耶) was a confederacy of chiefdoms that existed in the Three Kingdoms era in ancient Korea.
Gaya is thought to have arisen from a more ancient confederacy of chiefdoms called Byeonhan.
The various Gaya mini-states formed a confederacy in the 2nd and 3rd centuries centred around Geumgwan Gaya in modern Gimhae.
