220 Words1 Page

Dynasty
• A dynasty is the lineage of rulers of a country. Unlike an empire, dynasties are usually confined to a specific region like China. Dynasties are pieces of land that are confined in specific geopolitical area. In dynasties the ruler reigns over massive pieces of land. However dynasties like to isolate themselves to make sure their culture is preserved. An example of a dynasty is ancient China. The Chinese ruled by passing the line of rulers from father to son. After the father has passed away, the son would take over the country. The Chinese dynasty never tried to take over other regions. They were very content with the area they had and because of that their culture was persevered for years. There are no existing dynasties today.
