Ch'oe Hang (military official)
Military ruler of Korea (1209–1257)
Ch'oe Hang (Korean: 최항; Hanja: 崔沆; 1209 – 17 May 1257) was the third dictator of the Ch'oe Military regime, which dominated Goryeo for six decades before and during the Mongol invasions. Ch'oe Hang continued on his predecessor Ch'oe U's anti-Mongol policy, and refused to surrender to the invaders. It is believed that the Ch'oe Military Regime began to decline during his eight-year reign.
