ISBN: 9780520289741 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 408 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. In 221 BCE the state of Qin vanquished its rivals and established the first empire on Chinese soil, starting a millennium-long imperial age in Chinese history.

Established in 221 BCE, the Chinese empire lasted for 2,132 years before being replaced by the Republic of China in 1912.

Yuri Pines demonstrates that... Established in 221 BCE, the Chinese empire lasted for 2,132 years before being replaced by the Republic of China in 1912. During its two millennia,... |
