The History of China and India

China mostly had a lot of big empires that ruled the whole area. First was the Mongol Empire. That empire started out to be very successful with the Khan dynasty as the leader. But when the Khans started to get weak the Mongol Empire eventually fell. That wasn’t the end of the big empires in China though. After that, there was the Ming Empire. It wasn’t as big as the Mongol empire but it still ruled a lot of the land. The Ming Empire fell after that and then China was slowly becoming more powerful again when the Qing Empire came into play. When you look at the Qing Empire on a map it kind of looks like what China is today.

China actually had lots of dynasties that ruled at different times in history. Here is the list of the names of just a few of them:

Xia

Shang

Zhou

Qin

Han

There is also lots of attractions in China as well. Like the Great Wall of China. That wall protected them and the size and length of it is very magnificent. It might look easy to recreate the wall today, but you have to imagine that they didn’t have all the technology that we have now. That wall is still standing today.

The Great Wall of China

Besides the Empires, China has a lot of great geography sections like the Himalayas, the Gobi Desert, There coastline with the Pacific Ocean, and many more.  

India was pretty simple in geography compared to China. But they had lots of rivers like the Indus River and more.

India also started to evolve into creating a pattern when it came to the Empires ruling. So, at first they started with the Gupta Empire which was rather large and also had some other little civilizations outside of it, but overall it was that one empire ruling. But after the Gupta Empire fell India was basically made up of little kingdom civilizations that were scattered.

That pattern wasn’t changing anytime soon. The next big kingdom was the Rajput Kingdom. They pretty much ruled most of India. Later on though of course, that kingdom fell and then it went back to scattered civilizations again. The last Empire was the Mughal Empire and that kind of looked like (compared to all of the other empires in India) one of the biggest empires that India had. But even that big empire later fell and went bag to little civilizations.

Sometimes the biggest subject that countries fight over is what religion should rule. For India, there were two religions that were trying to take over. Those religions were Buddhism and Hinduism. In some aspects the religions were similar but in other perspectives, they were completely different. But overall India didn’t really expand much farther than where they started because they didn’t always focus on expanding in that area of their ruling but more on other developments like religion.
