The Han and the Yuan Dynasties share some similarities, but also some differences. First I will be talking about the similarities that both Dynasties shared. First the Han dynasty shared some native trait while the Yuan Dynasty had foreign traits. The Han Dynasty lasted over 100 years and had numerous leaders to lead. On the other Hand the Yuan dynasty only lasted a generation and then started to wear out over the years. Han being a new culture created a new philosophy for a new dynasty starting out was big.

Empires that existed during the third century B.C.E. were the Roman and Han Empires. These two empires were similar, as their authorities invoked supernatural sanctions to support their rule and invested heavily in public works such as roads, bridges, and protective walls. The falls of the Roman and Han Empires were more similar than different. Before these empires existed, Rome was a center of a big imperial state which eventually became a republic. Meanwhile, China was under the rule of the Qin Dynasty.

In many respects, the Qin Government (256-210 BC) and the Han Government (210 BC–220 AD) played a monumental role in the history of China. Throughout the Qin and the Han dynasties, not only did China witness policies that standardized various forms of measurement, but also the strengthening of the central government and the rise of a bureaucratic empire.

Another major similarity of India and China was the cause and effects of the declines of their golden ages. Both India and China had strong enough civilizations to withstand the challenges they faced and not completely fall. Because of China’s strong political system and because of India’s uniform religion, both civilizations were able to recover and revive themselves. Nomadic invaders attacked both civilizations and this was a setback but strong emperors helped regain order. The strength of the political systems was also challenged. Arab invaders tried to convert India to Islam but failed because Indian religious leaders worked to strengthen HInduism. In China bureaucrats became corrupt and started fighting for power and assassinating each other. Thankfully the Sui and Tang dynasties worked to regain power and they restored Confucianism because they knew it worked in the past. India and China lost power but they were able to maintain stability.
There was no single event that caused the downfall of the empires of the ancient world. The Han Dynasty, the Gupta Empire, and the Roman Empire would each collapse because of various reasons. In the case of the Han Dynasty around 220 C.E. the young emperor, Emperor Xian of Han, that came to rule the empire lost control. Three different families took control from them, creating the period known as the Three Kingdoms. Nomadic tribes from central Asia attacked the northern borders of the empire at this same time. And the final straw was the onset of an epidemic of Smallpox that struck the population of the empire. About two hundred years later the Roman Empire will start to decline. Over a thousand years the empire had grown too large to govern
Although both Classical India and China developed unique approaches to developing aspects of society and government, some similarities inevitably existed. Cultural diffusion was partly responsible for this, as trade and Buddhist ideals influenced each culture directly and indirectly. The Chinese and Indian civilizations executed similar practices and beliefs, such as the idealistic role of women, wide divisions between social classes, and the influence of Buddhism. However, discrepancies existed between the rigidity of hierarchy and gender roles, and the impacts of religion and philosophy in government.
