Oh really? I quite like the Roman period. They were quite the symbol of dominance, although their methods of governance were less than ideal.
Anyways, from what I’ve gathered so far in school, the Tokugawa Shogunate unified much of Japan, correct? Asian history isn’t my strongest point (that would be my native land, the United States of America (God Bless)), but it is fascinating, nonetheless, especially when we discuss how close the Song were to a true Industrial Revolution.
