The Creation of China Explained
We will look at the creation of China. We start by looking at the Yellow River Civilization and how they spread to the Yang Tze River Basin. How the people formed a unified ethnic group called the Han Chinese. From there we look at the creation of the very first dynasty, the Shang Dynasty. How it was replaced with the Zhou Dynasty, and how it dissolved into the Warring States Period.
We then focus on the start of the Chinese Iron Age. And how it allowed the State of Qin to grow into one of the powerful states at the end of the Warring States Period.
We then follow the life of Qin Shi Huang, or Ying Zheng, how he was called at birth. We talk about how they conquered the other 6 states of the Zhao, Wei, Qi, Han, Chu, and Yan. And we look at how the Qin state unified China under the Qin Dynasty.
From there we look at how they unified Chines language, Chinese writing, and Chinese bureaucracy. And how it became an early centralized state.
After Qin the Chinese Empire collapsed and we see the emergence of the Han Dynasty.

    India was never really developed. Medieval Europe still had a much better infrastructure than the Indian empires, who were mostly rural. The only thing the Indians had was a lot of fertile land and access to spices, but when the industrial revolution started, India was out of the game.

    9:59 South is not down. Nor is North up. North and South are compass directions. The compass, if you have never held one in your palm, works in the horizontal plane, not vertically. Up and down are directions in the vertical plane. Up and down are directions against and toward the pull of gravity. If South were down, the Nile wouldn't have flown Northwards into the Mediterranean, and the ocean waters would have collected in the South leaving the North of the globe bone dry. 11:28 Kudos for calling Christian mythology. It's about time someone described the Bible for what it is, a book of mythologies.

    The end of this video is weird and not really true. The Japanese economy in multiple ways is further down the progress line of other major powers as in that it has encountered certain modern issues earlier, such as the huge real estate bubble burst in the 90ies, aged work force and declining population, things that are now happening in the west and China. China in particular is most likely not going to come out of these issues as good as Japan did. When comparing Japan to other top world economies, their prosperity for its citizens on average is a lot better then for most of its peers. Also, due to the strict “xenophobic” migration laws their society is not on the brink of collapse or on the verge of political war like in the west. Mind you that it is possible to enter Japan and get citizenship, just not as a refugee but as a worker after 3-5 years. There is still a lot that can be learned from Japanese society, just maybe not the work culture.

  • @TheWhiskyDelta

    In the fall the most important factor that frequently gets ignored: Shortly after the emperors death, the Prime minister killed the Crown Prince and the Chief of the military, purged there factions from government. Then only a few months later the chief Eunuch killed the Prime minister and purged his faction from the government, largely because the Prime minister wanted to use funds to fight rebellion while the Eunuch wanted to not fight rebellion and build himself palaces. There is debate as if this was deliberate to end the dynasty, or he just underestimated the threat. In any event within a few months of the emperors death, his government was dead or exiled and the man in power deliberately sabotaged efforts to fight rebellions. Many of which were carried out in the name of the crown prince or other killed officials, suggesting that the chaos in government itself was one of the main drivers behind much of the rebellion.
