Shu Han

Shu Han was one of the three rival states during China's Three Kingdoms period, which lasted from the late 2nd to the late 3rd century AD. Founded by Liu Bei, it aimed to restore the Han dynasty after its decline. Shu Han was known for its strong leadership and military strategies, as well as its cultural and intellectual advancements. Its capital was Chengdu, located in modern-day Sichuan province. Despite its initial successes, Shu Han faced challenges from its rivals, Wei to the north and Wu to the east, eventually falling to Wei in 263 AD.
