Why was china known as the Celestial Empire?
One ancient name of China is Celestial Empire. China is not an empire anymore, but the name still exists in articles, stories, movies, and TV shows. The name is a direct translation of Chinese term Tian Chao (天朝), namely empire of heaven. The origin of it can be traced back to the traditional religion of China. In China, heaven is often considered the highest deity. The emperors are the sons of the heaven (Tian Zi or 天子) and are born to govern the country. Sometime, the emperors are also considered as the human form of Chinese dragon (Loong, or 龙）. So the full name should be Zhen Loong Tian Zi (真龙天子，Real Dragon the Heaven's Son）. There are several other names of China called by Chinese in history. The most widely known is Zhong Guo, or Middle Kingdom. That is when people thought the world is formed as China in center. It is a similar idea when European people called various Asia regions as Middle East and Far East. The difference is that this name has been used for almost three thousands years. Another name is less known outside China but very common in China. It's Cathay, or Huaxia (华夏). One theory claims that's because the first dynasty of China is called Xia and Hua means great and wonderful. So Cathy means Great Xia Dynasty. Later on, people sometime omit the second word Xia, and just call China Hua. Indeed, the name used in both People's Republic of China and Republic of China is Zhong Hua (中华）. One more name that is almost never heard outside China is Yan Huang Zi Sun (炎黄子孙), or the decedent of Yan and Huang. According to ancient Chinese history, all Chinese can be traced back to two major tribes. The leaders of these two tribes are called Yan and Huang, respectively. So all the Chinese are considered the decedent of Yan and Huang no matter where they are living now.
What group won China's civil war from 1946-1949?
The CCP won the civil war. Mao Zedong proclaimed the People's Republic of China in October of 1949.
What countries Mao Zedong hate?
Mao had paranoiac hatred of any country which threatened to dominate China imperially; these included Japan, the USA, Britain, France, and the Soviet Union. This did not, however, stop him from securing alliances of convenience with nations that he feared. For the most part, state diplomacy during the Mao period was handled by his Premier, Zhou Enlai, and Mao focused primarily on domestic policy (with some exceptions, such as his aggressive support of Chinese involvement in the Korean War).

Has China ever invaded the US?
The British invaded the US several times during the war of 1812-1815. This is the last recorded foreign power to set foot under arms in the US in force. Addition We could be forgiven for imagining that the Japanese invaded the US on 7 December 1941 in quite considerable force at Pearl Harbor. There was also some substantive fighting in the Aleutian Islands. And if you count US colonies, the Philippines was also captured by the Japanese in 1941-42.

Why did the Chinese fight in the Korean War?
At the end of World War II, Japan surrendered Korea to the Allies. The country was then divided into two parts, North Korea and South Korea. The United States withdrew its troops when the Republic of Korea was set up. They provided economic support. On June 25, 1950, North Korea invaded South Korea. The United States then backed up South Korea and fought with them. So did many other Allied countries. In the first few weeks of the war, North Korean forces met little resistance and advanced rapidly. By September tenth, the South Korean Army had been driven to the Southeast tip of South Korea. On September fifteenth, the United Nations forces made a daring counterattack. They landed at Incheon. This was on the West coast. On October nineteenth, the North Korean capitol was captured. Eventually the U.N troops drove the North Korean troops to the border of China. China saw this as a threat and launched a counteroffensive. The communist forces worked together to force the U.N back to South Korea. They then captured the South Korean capitol. The fighting was eventually drawn back to the borders of the two countries. The border was called the 38th parallel. That is where it remained for the rest of the war. The countries never signed a treaty so technically they are still at war.

Physical Factors High Density
Low Density
Relief
(shape and height of land) Low land which is flat e.g. Ganges Valley in India High land that is mountainous e.g. Himalayas Resources Areas rich in resources (e.g. coal, oil, wood, fishing etc.) tend to densely populated e.g. Western Europe Areas with few resources tend to be sparsely populated e.g. The Sahel Climate Areas with temperate climates tend to be densely populated as there is enough rain and heat to grow crops e.g. UK Areas with extreme climates of hot and cold tend to be sparsely populated e.g. the Sahara Desert
Human Factors
High Density
Low Density
Political Countries with stable governments tend to have a high population density e.g. Singapore Unstable countries tend to have lower population densities as people migrate e.g. Afghanistan. Social Groups of people want to live close to each other for security e.g. USA Other groups of people prefer to be isolated e.g. Scandinavians Economic Good job opportunities encourage high population densities, particularly in large cities in MEDCs and LEDCs around the world. Limited job opportunities cause some areas to be sparsely populated e.g. Amazon Rainforest
