Zhou Dynasty (14h 31min, nov 20, 1029 y BC – 11h 10min, sep 7, 258 y BC)
Description:
The creation of the Zhou Dynasty happened when the idea of the Mandate of Heaven happened. The Zhou Dynasty overthrew the Shang Dynasty because they persuaded everyone that God chose the Zhou Dynasty to be leaders. Their important features and achievements were that they had successful agriculture communities, banned human sacrifice, and had a standardized language (Mandarin). The Zhou Dynasty's decline happened when landowning lords (local princes) became too powerful and the people of the Zhou Dynasty was not protected from the nomadic raiders by the unpaid armies.
