which consisted of at least 83 dynasties
and 559 emperors.

The Shang Dynasty (1766 BC) was the first

verifiable dynasty and ruled China for 600 years.

mathematics, engineering and medicine.

invented printing

"Opium War" against China to force the Chinese
to keep buying the drug opium from British India.
As a result Hong Kong was signed over to Britain.

In 1949 the Peoples Republic of China

was formed.
It established Mao as the paramount
leader of the Chinese Communist
movement.
The new government started to fix
problems like Inflation and low
production.
Mao declared that China is against
capitalism and democracy.
