Map of the Tang Dynasty

Tang Dynasty Map(618 A.D-907 A.D)
This is a map of the Tang Dynasty(618 A.D-907A.D),it was/is a lot smaller than Present-day China,but it is pretty big based on the time period that it was conquered in. It was home to many rivers such as the Chang'an,which is highlighted on the map in a green shade. The land that is covered in a brownish shade is what was conquered and controlled by the Tang. The dashed lines that are formed around the map are the boundaries of current surrounding countries(on this map it shows only China and Mongolia). The Tang controlled a lot of land,and was very rich at the time,it was one of the richest countries in the world at it's time,basically,the bigger their size,the more prosperous they would be.The Tang controlled most of what is now Present-day China,except for the fact that China's later rulers started expanding to the north and the west.
