The fall of the Zhou Dynasty in ancient China led to a period of political fragmentation, social unrest, and warfare among regional states. This era, known as the Warring States period, saw the rise of powerful warlords and the eventual unification of China under the Qin Dynasty. The fall of the Zhou Dynasty also marked the end of the feudal system and the beginning of centralized imperial rule in China.
the eventual fall of the Han dynasty
The fall of the Zhou Dynasty led to a period of political fragmentation and instability in ancient China. Regional warlords and states emerged, leading to the Warring States period. This era saw intense competition and conflict among different states vying for power, ultimately leading to the unification of China under the Qin Dynasty.
The fall actually began about 1000-1050 AD, when China engaged in a "border war" with the Ly Dynasty of Vietnam. The war ended in a draw, but caused great military losses. Thus, when the Jurchen, a Tungusic people from what is now Manchuria, invaded, the Song dynasty had no choice but to retreat to the south, thus splitting China into 2 sections; the Jurchen, who called themselves the Jin dynasty, but are commonly referred to as Northern Song, and the original Song dynasty. After finally taking back all of China from the Jurchen using their superior naval power, they lost it all to the Mongols, led by Kublai Khan, thus starting the Yuan dynasty. In all, the Song dynasty lasted 399 years.
