Wang Dun

Wang Dun was a prominent military leader and politician during China's Five Dynasties period (907-960 AD). Originally a military governor, he seized power in southern China and declared himself emperor, founding the state of Qi. Known for his strategic skills and complex relationships with other warlords, Wang Dun played a significant role in the political chaos of the time. Despite his ambitions, his rule was marked by constant conflicts, and he ultimately lost power as the larger ruling dynasties reasserted control. His career highlights the turbulent, fragmented nature of China during this era of political instability.
