Editing Classical Period (section)

===Meanwhile in East Asia===
In [[China]] and [[India]] and so forth things were going along their own paths removed from all this. Though it should be pointed out that roughly around the same time that Rome existed, the Qin and Han dynasties united China for the first time, being their equivalent of a “foundational” regime that would set political and cultural precedents for centuries to come. Before the west was done with this era though, the Han collapsed and China entered the bloody Three Kingdoms period before being formed into the Jin dynasty.

During this time in [[Japan]] the Yayoi period (starting around 1,000 BCE) happened as migrating people from the mainland came to the island chain [[rip and tear|assimilating]] the earlier semi-agricultural Jomon peoples and is considered the start of Japanese Civilization as we'd know it.
