Many of China's imperial dynasties were established as the result of battle from the chariot warfare of ancient times to the battles of the guomindang (KMT) and communist regimes of the twentieth century. China's ability to sustain complex warfare on a very large scale was not emulated in other parts of the world until the industrial age, despite the fact that the country is only now rising to economic dominance. In A Military History of China, David A. Graff and Robin Higham bring together leading scholars to offer a basic introduction to the military history of China from the first millennium B.C.E. to the present.
