Social Hierarchy • China: • Emperor • Burecrats: poilshed speech; culutral sophistication • Landed Class:Seen as a threat to the government because they could hire their own military and avoid paying taxes • Peasants: were more vulnerable to famine and natural disasters • Merchants:They make money off of products they did not make; were not productive The class you fall into determines what you succeed in at the academy

  8. Location • Eastern Asia

  9. FOREIGN POLICIES • The Great Wall of China: was built to protect China from neighboring countries • Had harsh punishments for anyone who challenged the emperor • They started building the empire by launching a military campaign: there is evidence of paranoia
