Alliance between Han Dynasty and Xiongnu brings together several realms, from 50 BCE to 105. At its greatest recorded extent, in 50 BCE, its lands covered about 6.89 million km².
One of the realms of Han dynasty. After the Qin collapsed, Liu Bang, a commoner turned rebel leader, defeated his rivals and founded the Han dynasty in 202 BCE. The Han kept the Qin's centralised state but softened its harsh laws, and made Confucianism the official ideology, recruiting officials partly through examinations in the classics.
