China created an empire extremely similar to the Roman empire discussed in Chapter 5. The only difference being, the Chinese empire was put together using several large armies, which forced their way into new territories. The Qin and Han rulers in China founded this empire. During 221 BCE the state of Qin helped unify China by defeating a main rival of the empire. After this, the king of Qin eventually began to rule all of China, being know as the "first emperor." To help all the states to become more unified he asked for all of the citizens to move into the capital, which created a bigger empire for him to rule. To make sure there wasn't any resistance from the citizens, he ordered officials to go out and retrieve them. Although Qin wanted

The classical world made many contributions to the developments of ethics, literature, science, etc. These contributions have influenced to the world today, this is three of many classic worlds that have spread the culture, music, sculpture, etc. to nearby lands and continue to this day such as classical Han in China, classical 5th century BCE Athens, and classical Republican Rome. The Han dynasty was one of the longest major, second imperial dynasty of China from 206 BC to 220 AD, considered as a golden age in Chinese history and the development of the Han dynasty represented the high point and classical phase of Chinese civilization. Emperor Gaozu born Liu Bang became the first emperor of the Han after defeating the Qin dynasty and divided the Han into two periods: Western Han and
The end of the Han Dynasty and the fall of Western Rome had influences that impacted other ancient civilizations. The Han Dynasty started in 202 BCE and ended in 220 CE.

Intro: In our version of the Han Dynasty, we maintained original ideals regarding, politics, social statuses, philosophy, and governmental aspects. We changed and tweaked certain specific aspects of these themes, such as the height of the Great Wall of China, and the purpose behind folklore. Government and political aspects we decided to keep were the Great Wall of China, but in the form of a full wall around the entirety of the Han Dynasty, as well as making it taller, for better fortifications.
Following the collapse of the Han Dynasty in 220, China declined into an elongated term of division. China was divided and in a time of war, with a lack of leadership. It was only in the Sui Dynasty (589-618) reunited North and South China as one. The Tang (618-906) and Song (960 - 1279) Dynasties that followed created the “Golden Ages of China”. Although the Tang and Song Dynasties existed in a similar time and had a similar economy, there are also many differences between the influential dynasties such as certain aspects of their society and politics.

The Qing has the supreme power at the time and has the significant influence in East Asian. However, the collapse of the Qing Dynasty made a humiliate history of China. The Qing dynasty doesn't fall suddenly, and the collapse of Qing is not just simply because domestic revolution and alien invasion. The failure of the Qing government is worthy to study, we need to take a deep step and explore the root cause of the collapse of Qing.
The Roman and Han empires dominated their respective regions by the end of the third century CE. These empires share characteristics of their development, as well as conditions that contributed to their eventual decline. Like many early civilizations, both the Han and Romans based their economies on agricultural production. Improvement in agriculture led to a boom in population and expansion of the civilizations from small homogenous nations into the large multiethnic empires celebrated in history. Both of these empires maintained a strong emphasis on the family as the basic social unit, even organizing political power through family lines. The decline and subsequent fall of the Han and Roman empires can be attributed to political fragmentation
