According to experts, the history of ancient China dates back more than 3,500 years. But it really begins with the Shang Dynasty, which was founded in the 16th century BC.
It was only in the 3rd century BC that China became a unified state. In the early Middle Ages, China was actively developing. By the 8th century, the first raids of the Mongol tribes began. By the 13th century, the Mongols had conquered almost all of China's territories, but this did not have a strong cultural or technical impact on the country's development.
For a long time, the country deliberately isolated itself from the Europeans, not even allowing them to enter Chinese lands.
The military history of China tells how China was defeated in the first opium War, as a result of which the island of Hong Kong was ceded to England. The Qing Dynasty was overthrown in 1911 by the People's democratic movement led by Sun Yat-sen.
Until 1945, the war with the Japanese continued, then a 4-year civil war broke out, which was called the Liberation War. In 1949, the establishment of the People's Republic of China was announced.
