The different outcome may create questions, but i'd suggest the variety of states controlled by a centralized government is not that different from what we find in Europe with the creation of the European Union still forming. China's history begins with the Xia dynasty of 2100 b.c. while European history didn't really begin until the Roman incursion in the first century b.c. What was going on in Europe before Rome wasn't of a unifying nature. One might say China had a head start, but i imagine it's more complex than that, and i'm certainly not an authority.olcharliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00309255390011851502noreply@blogger.com
