Not really because it fell apart, 2 times and was ruled by foreigners 3 times.

Zhou lasted 800 years
then you have the warring states period for 700 years.
then you have the Qin dynasty for 15 years
then the Han dynasty for 14 years
then you have three kingdoms period for 60 years
Jin dynasty for 155 years
Then the time of Northern and Southern dynasty (Civil war )160 years.
then the Sui dynasty for 37 years.
Then the tang dynasty for 300 years.
then 53 years of 5 dynasty 10 kingdoms.
Then you have the Song dynasty for 200 years(actually less since the Jurchen aka Jin controlled the northern half for a large portion of time)
Then you have the Yuan dynasty for 200 years ,which was rule by Mongols so not a Chinese dynasty.
then you have the Ming dynasty for 300 years.
Then you have the Qing dynasty for 250 years. (again not Chinese so not Chinese rule)

The longest time frame that you have Chinese rule of Chinese is during the zhou period. However at this time the country was very decentralized and China is not regarded as an empire until the Qin.
After that the longest period of chinese rule is the tang and sui dynasty's lasting 337 years.

I don't think the Han Dynasty only lasted 14 years.

Guess i'll have to think of someone else.

Einstein maybe?
Or that guy who stole the fire from the God's ehm, what's he called again? Prometheus, or maybe Archimedes.

When I think of it Nazi Germany wasn't all that powerful pretty much for the same reasons it would be bad in bed.

Started off fast, reached its peak in a short amount of time, and then faded away with a whimper to be all but forgotten.

Nobody even lol'd :mad:

Perhaps it made everyone feel sympathetically inadequate.

Well... it will make them feel a little better to laugh...

No, it will make them feel better to apologize thoroughly, leave the house and never speak of it again. If Poland calls, tell her we're not in.

I'm also going to venture and say my mum's loins were the most powerful person at a time. She gave birth to me.:D

Now with added poll, to keep this thread on its life-support machine just a little while longer.

Anyone gone for Queen Vic yet? Largest Empire ever and all that crap. Plus the total naval dominance, control of half the worlds populatation etc, no sunset on the empire + total defeat of the other major world powers by the time she came to power.


Sure she didn't have defacto power, but her influence was such that Britain was under her rule, even though she was a constitutional monarch. No goverment could have survived without her backing.
