The accomplished governing of emperors guangwu, ming, and zhang established a central authority that expanded china's might and stability. Their less-capable successors-a number of them merely children when they became emperor-left the chinese people deprived of those benefits which competent government provides. When the last eastern han emperor was forced to abdicate, china, no longer united as a single empire, was split into three different regions, each ruled by an ambitious warlord. You will discover topics such asChinese lands and birth of chinaDisintegration of royal powerBirth of imperial chinaRise and fall of the han dynastySociety of ancient chinaThe ancient chinese cultureInventions and innovations of the ancient chineseAnd much, much more!Portuguese macau: macau is known as the las vegas of china. It attracts many tourists every year, and it has a unique set of laws and history behind it. How did it become this way? Well, one of the reasons is that it used to be part of the portuguese empire. We have probably all heard about the british in china, the opium wars, and the tea export, but you might not have heard about the portuguese settlers who went there.
