Beginning at the fall of Han dynasty till the establishment of the Jin dynasty, from 184 to 280 A.D., China enters into the era of The Three Kingdoms, one of the shortest but also the bloodiest in Chinese history. This epoch is marked with great leaders and wise politicians. It is the time when the three leaders of the three kingdoms, by waging a war or acting in collusion, try in their best power to maintain as well as look beyond their own territories. The military strategies and the diplomatic tactics this period inspires have extraordinarily tremendous influences on China.
