Battles of the Three Kingdoms

The Battles of the Three Kingdoms (220-280 AD) were key conflicts in ancient China that shaped its political landscape. They involved three rival states—Wei, Shu, and Wu—fighting for control after the fall of the Han Dynasty. These battles were marked by strategic alliances, iconic leaders like Cao Cao and Liu Bei, and significant military tactics. The conflict ended with the unification under the Jin Dynasty, ending the era of fragmentation. The period is famous for its historical and cultural significance, inspiring the classic Chinese novel *Romance of the Three Kingdoms*.
