What was the largest area in ancient China?
The following is the area of each dynasty, of course, the largest in the Yuan Dynasty, but it does not mean that the territory of the Yuan Dynasty, as several people upstairs said, spanned Asia, Africa and Europe, surpassing the Roman Empire and the Alexander Empire. The empire across Asia, Africa and Europe is called the Mongolian Empire, and the Yuan Dynasty is only a part of the Mongolian Empire. The largest territory of the Mongolian Empire is as high as 33 million square kilometers (44 million square kilometers), east to the Pacific Ocean, north to Lake Baikal (the first Arctic Ocean), west to the coast of the Black Sea (Hungary at the peak), and south to the South China Sea. It accounts for 22% of the world's land area, more than one fifth, which is 1.5 times that of the Soviet Union in the 20th century and 1.9 times that of Russia today, covering the population of 1 100 million at that time. He includes several khanates, Wokuotai khanate, Chagatai khanate, Qincha khanate, ilhan khanate and China Yuan Dynasty. After the Mongol Empire, it was driven to the interior of Mongolia by the Ming Dynasty and continued. Until 1636, Jin was conquered by the Qing Dynasty.
