The Three Kingdoms of China is a period marked by intense civil and military conflicts, as well as radical socio-political reforms. It can be divided into three phases: the Fall of the Han Dynasty from 184 to 220, the Rise of Three Kingdoms from 220 to 263, and the Fall of the Three Kingdoms from 263 to 280. After decades of civil war and widespread government corruption and neglect, warlords began to rise to prominence and to pursue their ambitions to the detriment of the Han government, ultimately leading to its fall. Notable figures during this period include Cao Cao, Sun Quan, Liu Bei, Sima Yi, Zhuge Liang, Guan Yu, and many more.
