Xiang Yu and Liu Bang

Xiang Yu and Liu Bang were key leaders during China's fall of the Qin dynasty and the subsequent rise of the Han dynasty around 200 BCE. Xiang Yu, a powerful military commander, was known for his bravery and decisive leadership but struggled with political strategy. Liu Bang was a more strategic and diplomatic leader who eventually defeated Xiang Yu, establishing the Han dynasty, which became one of China's most influential imperial eras. Their rivalry shaped Chinese history, with Liu Bang’s leadership guiding the empire toward stability and prosperity after years of chaos.
