 | Hi my name is Wudi, and I began my reign as emperor of the Han Dynasty around 141 BC. It was unusual for me to be emperor because I was not the oldest son of the king. It was decided when I was at the age of 7 that I would heir the throne, but it wasnt until I was 16 that I actually became emperor. I ruled mostly under the influence of my relatives and political officials. | |

| Discussing Politics & Religion |
|
| Like I said before I reigned as emperor at the age of 16 starting at 141 BC. In 130 BC I decided that China needed to be more aggressive during attacks. So I launched an attack on the northern border who were threatening the empire. My massive army conquered Southern China, and mot of Vietnam and Korea, later on I gained control of Furgana, and small states between. I was interested in the religion Confucianism, and made it the religion of China. | |
|
| I reigned as king from 206 to 202 BC, then as emperor from 202 to 195 BC. I also made peace with the tribes that were trying to invade China from Mongolia. I believed in Feudalism. So I revived Feudalism. | |

| Arguing Who Was More Successful |
|
| Im pretty sure Im better than you because I even founded a University to teach Confucianism. I even gained control over most of Asia. Also I added new taxes and saw that the government controlled the trade of all salt, wine, and iron, in order to raise money. I was known for always protecting my country and trying to expand it. | |
|
| No Im pretty sure Im better than you because I eliminated many harsh laws and taxes on peasants. Im known for my skills and foreign affairs. I also made peace with people who were going to attack China. Thats why Im pretty sure Im better than you. | |
