The domains are the bigger picture, and the kingdoms are the more specific ones in the domain. It all has to do with biology. The domain system is more general and includes more categories of things

The 5 kingdoms were:
Moneran
Protista
Plantae
Animalia
Fungi
This is an extremely inaccurate classification method. Moneran (bacteria) are very diverse in and of themselves, and deserve their own domain. Also, there are other types of "bacteria-like" organisms (known as archaea), which should not be grouped together with the bacteria because they are very, very different. Previously, these two groups were lumped together as one kingdom.
The remaining 4 kingdoms– plants, animals, fungi, and protists– are all eukaryotes. That's why they should all be placed within the same domain.
The 3 domains are:
Bacteria
Archaea
Eukarya
