4. China Reunites
During the Middle Ages, Chinese rulers brought peace, order, and growth to China. Buddhism became a major religion in China, but the Chinese government supported Confucian ideas. Earlier we read that the Han dynasty of China collapsed and China plunged into civil war. This unrest helped Buddhism spread. China eventually reunited. The new dynasties took Chinese civilization to even higher levels.
