Han Dynasty
Qin Dynasty
The Han Dynasty ruled China from 206 B.C.E. to 220 C.E., and was a period of significant cultural and technological advancement, including the invention of paper and the compass. Key achievements include developing the civil service, and opening the Silk Road trade route to Europe.
The Qin Dynasty (pronounced like "chin") was the first imperial dynasty of a unified China. Qin Shi Huang ruled over China from 221–206 B.C.E., and unified the country by standardizing currency, weights, measures, and the written script, which facilitated trade and communication.
Qing Dynasty
Ming Dynasty
The Qing Dynasty was the last imperial dynasty of China, ruling from 1644 to 1912. This period was characterized by significant territorial expansion, population growth, and a flourishing of culture, while also facing challenges from internal strife and external pressures, eventually leading to its overthrow and the establishment of the Republic of China.
The Ming Dynasty was a Chinese dynasty that ruled from 1368 to 1644, establishing a period of stability, cultural flourishing, and economic expansion after overthrowing the Mongol-led Yuan Dynasty.
Invasion
Conquer
An invasion is when a group or army enters a place without permission, like when one country's army enters another to take control.
To "conquer" means to overcome something by force, like a country winning a war, or to succeed in a difficult challenge.
Mongol
Barbarian
Mongols are an East Asian ethnic group native to Mongolia and China, as well as the republics of Buryatia and Kalmykia in Russia.
Historically, barbarian was a word for people from other lands who didn't speak the local language, like the ancient Greeks and Romans used to call anyone outside their own culture.
Hang-t'u
Silk Road
