Which dynasty has the largest territory in the history of China?
As we all know, the territory of our country was created by our ancestors, but the territory of our country today is not the largest since ancient times. So what are the dynasties with the largest territory in the history of China? Let's have a look.

On the vast territory, the first place still belongs to the Yuan Dynasty.

One: Yuan Dynasty

In the Yuan Dynasty, Mongols were in power. Mongolians have lived on horseback since childhood, most of them are good at riding and shooting, and they are proud of their bravery. Therefore, it is also quite brave to fight. The territory laid by the Yuan Dynasty is the largest in China since ancient times, with a territory as high as13.72 million square kilometers. However, due to its vast territory and difficult management, the Yuan Empire began to decline in less than a hundred years.

Two: Tang Dynasty

As a well-developed dynasty in China, the land area of the Tang Dynasty also expanded unprecedentedly. Not only did it control Monan, Mobei and the Western Regions, but many other countries volunteered to become vassals. During the Longshuo period in Tang Gaozong, the territory of the Tang Dynasty was the largest, with a territory area of 654.38+02.37 million square kilometers.

Three: Ming Dynasty

The Ming Dynasty claimed to be the hardest dynasty, which did not cede territory, kiss, pay reparations or surrender! In the history of 276 years, the land area reached 12333800 square kilometers in its heyday. It was also the first dynasty to incorporate Taiwan Province Province into China.

Four: Qin Dynasty

The Qin Dynasty destroyed six countries and unified the whole country. The first unified multi-ethnic country in history is the embryonic form of our country, and its significance is unparalleled. Although the Qin dynasty lived for a short time, it was far from prosperous, but on the map, it crushed a small country before and became the largest empire in the world at that time, with a land area of 3.4 million square kilometers.

Five: Han Dynasty

This dynasty was also a country with unprecedented development in ancient China. On the map, there were fewer East Vietnam, South Vietnam and Hetao in the early Han Dynasty than in the Qin Dynasty. However, in the period of Emperor Wudi of the Han Dynasty, when the emperor was belligerent, the territory of the Han Dynasty was ambushed, which was more than twice that of the Qin Dynasty, and * * * reached more than 6 million square kilometers.

Six: Qing Dynasty

To say that the territory of the Qing Dynasty is large, we can only calculate the period from Kangxi to Qianlong. During this period, the national development reached its peak, ruling over 50 ethnic groups and laying the foundation for today's new China. At that time, the territory of the Qing Dynasty reached 1284650 square kilometers, which was about to surpass that of the Yuan Dynasty. Unfortunately, the improper governance of the later rulers made our country gradually decline.
