AB - The study examined the relationship between the Gaya countries and Baekje by integrating the internal and external circumstances they were facing, focusing on the Talks at Sabi(泗沘會議). In the early sixth century, the Gaya countries and Baekje were in a close relationship; however, when investigating the Talks at Sabi, it has been confirmed that the relationship between the Gaya countries and Baekje cannot be seen solely as the relationship between subordinates and superiors. One aspect is the attitude or the method in which Baekje treated each of the Gaya countries. Furthermore, in current study, the analysis between the Gaya countries and Baekje was mostly on the perspective of Anra. As such, it is important to consider the different perspectives of each of the other Gaya countries with respect to their relations with Baekje.
Baekje, which had to prepare for war with Goguryo, could not directly confront Shilla regarding the Gaya countries. Moreover, the expansion of Baekje into Gaya was limited, unlike Shilla’s more aggressive method. Therefore, Baekje called various powers of Gaya to Sabi, with the awareness of a suzerain state that in theory controls the Gaya countries. Through such talks, Baekje sought to prevent the Gaya countries from being subjugated to and integrated into Shilla.
In the sixth century, the Gaya countries faced direct threats from Baekje and Shilla. The circumstances and stakes of each country were different, but they all attempted to establish a balance of power in the middle of Baekje and Shilla. Thus, the Gaya countries participated in the Talks at Sabi. The difference in the number of countries participating in the years 541 and 544 meeting, the participants consisted of various ranks reflect the interest and assertiveness to diplomatic issues of each of the Gaya country. Furthermore, the composition of the various participants reflects the lack of a centralized committee which led by one country within the Gaya countries.
The Gaya countries anticipated Baekje’s active support and protection by participating in the Talks at Sabi, but they must have been disappointed at Baekje wanting to maintain the status quo, unable to separate from the ideological superiority. In the end, the alternative that was offered at the Talks at Sabi was insufficient to stop Shilla’s expansion into Gaya, and it can be believed that the Talks at Sabi triggered for the Gaya countries to choose Shilla.
