The Han dynasty was very successful in their conquests throughout China, and conquered roughly a third to a half of present day China. The area on the North East part of China that is sticking out is land conquered by China around the Silk Road, in order to protect it. The squiggly line on the northern border of China is the amount of the Great Wall of China that was built during the Han Dynasty. Loyang was the capital of the dynasty form 25-190 A.D., and Chang'an was the capital from 206 B.C. to 9 A.D. The part on the eastern coast of China that is not Chinese territory is "Min Yueh". When Liu Xiu, the first emperor after the brief Xin dynasty, moved the capital of China from Chang'an to Loyang he started the Eastern Han dynasty, because he moved the capital eastwards of the old one. In this map China has conquered parts of North Korea and North Vietnam.
