The admission of new states
Here are few reasons:
1.) To review the geopolitical realities of Europe in the Middle Ages.
2.) To understand the political, social, and economic systems of feudalism and emerging mercantilism in 15th, 16th, and 17th century Europe.
3.) To examine the realities of everyday life in 15th, 16th, and 17th century Europe.
4.) To explore the changing role of religion in 16th century Europe and how it impacted European immigration to the "New World."
5.) To discuss why some Europeans were willing to leave their homelands in exchange for the uncertainties of life in North America.
6.) To address the question, "why does any of this matter?"
This should help you, it is a verified answer I have found:
The problem is that we don't know for sure, but we suspect that the Shang dynasty reigned in China starting in 1600 BC, and that before that was the Xia Dynasty.
The existence of the Xia Dynasty is not documented directly, because the first durable documents in China, in the oracle bone script date to max. 1400 BC. Some scholars suspect that the Xia dynasty was created as a myth to provide an opposition to Shang, as their traits were often opposite. On the other hand, we know some potential members of the Xia, which would serve as an argument in favour of their existence.
