Dynasties of China Quiz Information

I like how the maps shows the extent of the ruling dynasties, great game and idea!

Note that:

There are gaps between some dynasties, and overlaps between others. Some dynasties were split,others waxed and waned. The maps here may not match other maps of the same dynasties because of that.

In the older dynasties especially, dates may be uncertain.

The cause of all this is that Chinese history is very complex.

And yes, I left out some of them, especially ones that were limited in time or geographic extent. There just wasn't room.

Finally, this game covers much of the same material as Dal's game:

The difference is that this game has the maps, which could be taken to be sort of a "crutch'. Or as another way to learn the same material...

So be sure to see that game too, and all the other Dal timeline games...
