what rebel leader became emperor after the mongols were driven out of china?
113456
The fall of Yuan ( The Mongal imperial dynasty )\n\n   In the 1350's, the pace of rebellion picked up. Several rebel leaders, almost all of whom came from the merchant or lower classes, seized cities and set themselves up as kings or even, with just a small bit of territory, proclaimed themselves Emperor. China was no longer in the control of the Emperor—it had been carved up among the rebel warlords. \n\n   One of these warlords was called Kuo Tzu-hsing; he controlled the territory of Anhui. However, it isn't Kuo Tzu-hsing that interests us; it is, rather, the general he appointed in 1355, Chu Yüan-chang, who would become the founder of the Ming dynasty. Chu was a peasant; along with Liu Bang (ruled 206-195 BC), he was the only peasant to found a Chinese dynasty. When Kuo Tzu-hsing died, Chu set about his real ambition: conquering the whole of China. It is said that a scholar told him he would succeed if he followed three rules: a.) build strong city walls; b.) gather as much grain in storage as possible; c.) be slow to assume titles. Chu followed these rules assiduously. \n\n   With his army, Chu slowly conquered one warlord's territory after another while carefully watching the government's army. By 1368, he had conquered all of southern China; this is the date at which the Ming dynasty officially begins. By 1369 he had driven the Mongols out of China. Except for Szechwan in the east (which was conquered in 1371) and Yünnan in the southeast (conquered in 1382), Chu controlled all of China in 1369.

Yes, it would be Chaing Kai Shek or Jiang Jieshi. He established the Republic of China or ROC, which is known as Taiwan in 1949 after he was defeated by the Chinese Communist Party led by Mao Zedong. He held the position until his death in 1975.\n\nIf you think about it, Taiwan was really a colony of Japan after China lost the Sino Japanese War in 1895. It wasn't given back to China until Japan was defeated in WW2. So even if Sun Yatsen was considered the first president of China (he really wasn't Yuan Shikai was, because Sun struck a deal with him and promised him the presidency after the fall of the Qing) it wouldn't apply because Taiwan was not part of China in 1911.

Buddhism started after the buddha became awakened and began attempting to show people a way to enlightenment.  He sought a cessation to suffering.\n\nBuddhism affected many civilizations in many ways.  Kubla khan, the emperor of china when Marco Polo came to visit, had been converted to tibetan buddhism sometime prior to Marco polo's voyages.  Marco Polo was also given the task of converting Kubla Khan to christianity but he failed in this when Kubla Khan asked him to show him the benefits of chrisitanity.  whatever marco Polo showed him, it didn't work because the tibetan monk who had converted Kubla had apparently showed him how to levitate things.  These kinds of powers are known as mind jewels in tibetan buddhism.  \n\nSome other influences it has had are very evident in Tibet which was previously a theocracy run by the yellow hats.\n\nAlso, 97.4% of Thailand are theraveda buddhist and the king's puported role is to support buddhist practices.\n\nBuddhism has had its influences on ethics, philosophies and politics of many eastern countries, sometimes dominating the mainstream.\n\nMany buddhist are at the forfront of religous pluralism, as adapting to new cultures and ways of life rather than altering them, have almost always been a part of spreading the dharma, as the dharma can take any form.\n\nBuddhist are supposidly numbered at about 354 million worldwide, and while they don't hold much sway in the scope of geopolitics, there are a few outstanding figures like the dali lama, the king of thailand and many of the leaders of taiwan, japan and korea.\n\nHope that answered your questions.

I would guess Alexander the Great, but perhaps it was Ghengis Khan.

China. The Yellow Color was the Imperial Color. No other person was allowed to wear yellow because of its relation to Gold. In fact, Chinese emperors were called Hoang Thun, which meant Gold Ruler. Thats also why they have the Huang He, (The Yellow River).\n\nHope that helps!

Mao Zedong (December 26, 1893 – September 9, 1976; Mao Tse-tung in Wade-Giles) was the chairman of the Politburo of the Communist Party of China from 1943 and the chairman of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China from 1945 until his death. Under his leadership, the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) became the ruling party of Mainland China as the result of its victory over Chinese Nationalists, the KMT, in the Chinese Civil War. On October 1, 1949, Mao declared the formation of the People's Republic of China at Tiananmen Square.\n\nMao is widely credited for creating a mostly unified China free of foreign domination for the first time since the Opium Wars. However, critics point out that Mao's ineffective economic policies in conjunction with the Three Years of Natural Disasters caused the massive famine of 1959–1961. Mao has also been criticized for his contribution to the Sino-Soviet Split, his establishment of a one-party dictatorship, and initiating the disastrous Cultural Revolution.\n\nMao Zedong is sometimes referred to as Chairman Mao. At the height of his personality cult, Mao was commonly known in China as the "Four Greats": "Great Teacher, Great Leader, Great Supreme Commander, Great Helmsman".

After the end of WW II, the Chinese Communist Party succeeded in controling the country and driving out the forces of Chang Kai Schek ( sp? ) in 1949.  China has to go its own direction.

When Marco Polo arrived at Kublai Khan's court he became a favorite of the Khan and was employed for 17 years and was sent on voyages and was given permission to trade freely throughout China.\n\nIn 1291, Kublai entrusted Marco with his last duty, to escort the Mongol princess Koekecin (Cocacin in Il Milione) to her betrothed, the Ilkhan Arghun. \nI think he escorted the princess to her future husband and then returned to Europe.  It didn't say he married her.\n In 1300, he married Donata Badoer, a woman from an old, respected patrician family. Marco would have three children with her: Fantina, Bellela and Moreta. All of them later married into noble families.

Cataline. He led a rebellion against a Roman government that would not do what he told them to do. He failed, and his whole army was slaughtered. Legend says that they found Cataline's body, near none of his compatriots yet surrounded by his dead enemies, a mile closer to Rome than any of his dead men.\n\nMake no mistake, I am not into violence per se, but the sheer force of will of such a man is enviable.\n\nGood Luck!\nkeptcompany@yahoo.com

That depends on the question. If it refers to the united provincies then it would be Qin Zi Ying from the Qin dynasty. He became emperor 207 BCE. Although this was also during the 3 states period. Priot to this there were the waring states, where each province had their own Emperor

Probably one of the most brutal dictators in modern history, surpassing Hitler, and on the level of Stalin.\n\nMao came to power when he defeated nationalist forces in the late 40's. He was a very personable leader, but could not run the country, and his policies became disastrous. \n\nFor example, in the 50's, he forced many people to go work in steel mills. This lead to widespread famine & death. While no official figures are available, estimates put the death toll for this famine between 20 and 30 million.\n\nIn addition, to keep control over the country, in the 60's he created the Cultural Revolution. This revolution, which probably killed around 1-3 million people (again, only estimates), involved primarly teenagers roaming the country, buring schools and generally destroying the main pillars of civilization. Only when the Cultural Revolution factions started to fight each other, and when it appeared that civil war was once again a real possibility, did Mao call in the Chinese Army to put down the revolution & restore civilization.

Rise and Fall of Eastern Han Dynasty\n\nA distant relative of Liu royalty, Liu Xiu, led the revolt against Wang Mang with the support of the landholding families and merchants. He "re-established" the Han Dynasty at Luoyang, which would rule for another 200 years, and became Emperor Guangwu.\n\nIn 105, during Eastern Han Dynasty, an official and inventor named Cai Lun invented the technique for making fine paper. The invention of paper is considered a revolution in communication and learning, dramatically lowering the cost of education.\n\n \nA horse of the Late Han Dynasty (2nd century)Nevertheless the Eastern Han emperors failed to put forward any groundbreaking land reforms after the failure of its precedent dynasty. Rife bureaucratic corruption and bribery contributed into lingering adverse consequences of land privatizations throughout the dynasty. Prestige of a newly founded dynasty during the reigns of the first three emperors was barely able to hinder the corruption; however Confucian scholar gentry turned against eunuchs for their corrupted authorities, while consort clans and eunuchs struggled for power in subsequent reigns. None of these three parties was able to improve the harsh livelihood of peasants under the landholding families. Land privatizations and accumulations on the hands of the elite affected the societies of the Three Kingdoms and the Southern and Northern Dynasties that the landholding elite held the actual driving and ruling power of the country. Successful ruling entities worked with these families, and consequently their policies favored the elite. Adverse effects of the Nine grade controller system or the Nine rank system were brilliant examples.\n\n \nA view of the tombs of the Han DynastyTaiping Taoist ideals of equal rights and equal land distribution quickly spread throughout the peasantry. As a result, the peasant insurgents of the Yellow Turban Rebellion swarmed the North China Plain, the main agricultural sector of the country. Power of the Liu royalty then fell into the hands of local governors and warlords, despite suppression of the main upraising of Zhang Jiao and his brothers. Three overlords eventually succeeded in control of the whole of China proper, ushering in the period of the Three Kingdoms. The figurehead Emperor Xian reigned until 220 when Cao Pi forced his abdication.\n\nIn 311, around one hundred years after the fall of the Eastern Han, its capital Luoyang was sacked by Huns.
