Historical Sunday: China - Part Two

     Hello everybody and welcome back to another installment of Nations Made Fun! I'll be your host, Mr. Nations, your tour guide to the world. Today we'll be finishing up our discussion about China and its rich history. Today we will start the common era of China. Let's dive straight into it!

     We left off on the Han Dynasty, but I later realized I forgot the Qin dynasty, an important dynasty, so I'll fill you in on it now. so let's start.

     Leader of the Qin Dynasty Qin Shi Huang was regarded as one of the most efficient, but also the most unpopular regime. It was the first and shortest imperial dynasty and was known for great projects such as the Great Wall of China and the Terracotta Army.

     After the Han Dynasty brings us to the Sui Dynasty, but it's a pretty uneventful little dynasty, so I'll skip it. Moving on to the Tang Dynasty, this dynasty was known for its longevity. Clocking in at three centuries, this dynasty was the golden age for poetry, glazed pottery, and woodblock printing. Unfortunately, a rebellion ended the long reign of the Tang Dynasty.

     Modern China brings us communist stability and peace with all nations. Unfortunately, China isn't doing so hot, with its 1,000,000,000 struggling with pollution and many other factors. Fortunately, the Chinese government is helping with this issue. We all hope that China improves over the next few years because millennia of history would be lost. Until tomorrow, Mr. Nations out!
