Rome also didn’t have the value system to cement the peoples of its empire together which is why it proved less durable.…
The Chinese empire originated as a cluster of warring states, but was able to unify and flourish under the order and direction of Shihuangdi.

The development of bronze for tool-making aided humans in constructing a variety of weapons such as swords and axes and other objects such as bracelets, necklaces, and cauldrons. Gunpowder was the next biggest development in tool-making, which took place in China, where they had began using it in fireworks. News of the invention later spread to Europe in around 1300, where they began using gunpowder in cannons and guns, which were both used in warfare. However, during this period, guns were too cumbersome so the most efficient and most widely used weapon was the bow and arrow because of its speed and accuracy. The next major technological development in tool-making also occurred in China with the invention of the compass.…
The Han Empire began the construction of the Zhengguo Canal around 100 B.C.E. The canal was built to divert fresh water from the Ching River eastward over the Han’s land of plains. Its purpose initially was the Qin’s desire to tie up the resources of the Han so that they could not attack them, as the Han would have to use many of its troops and economy to support the building of the canal. The canal was completed successfully, even after the ruse was found out. Ultimately, the canal was used to irrigate a vast stretch of plains that was unfortunately covered in salty soil, which was terrible for growing crops.…

China is one of the oldest civilizations in the world and has been the largest and most advanced economy for much of recorded history. China’s ancient history is divided into three eras: Pre-Imperial era (ca. 10,000 – 221BC), Early Imperial era (221BC – 960AD) and Late Imperial era (960 – 1911AD). During the Pre-Imperial era, the tribes living around the Yellow River area, were practicing agriculture. The earliest silk remains date to the early third millennium BC.…

China’s Qing Dynasty flourished during the 1800s, but by the turn of the century, its power and influence had begun to decline. By 1912, a combination of internal and external factors had caused the once glorious dynasty to collapse. European influence was one of the most prominent factors that led to the decline and eventual collapse of the Qing Dynasty. After the Opium Wars in the mid-1800s, Great Britain imposed unfair restrictions and treaties on China and took control of Hong Kong. Other European and Asian nations, like France, Germany, Russia, and Japan, soon followed suit and took advantage of China’s weakened state.…
