Empires in Asia


Empires arose in Asia and included the Indian Empire in 2500 BC, the Chinese Empire in 2070 BC, the Persian Empire in 550 BC the Mongol Empire in 1270 AD, the Russian Empire in 1440 AD, and the Japanese Empire in 1848 AD. 

Russia developed culturally as part of Europe, but occupied the entire land area of the Asian continent. Consequently, Russia contracted in wars with the Mongols and expanded in wars with the Persians.

Although wars continued to occur between bordering countries in Europe, the Middle East and Asia, there were also wars between Empires in Asia, the Middle East and Europe.

Trade between these areas were critical for each area to make scientific advancements, innovations and inventions. The beginnings of migration around 40,000 BC and the end of the Ice Age in 11,700 BC were common events that resulted in similar settlements of migrants developing in all areas across the Earth on all continents.

All civilizations developed language, writing, art, and culture with their own characteristics. Four ancient urban civilizations were established in Egypt, Mesopotamia, India and China.
