Throughout history, China has been invaded, conquered, and occupied by some of the most fearsome military forces in the world—from the Mongol hordes to the Manchu horsemen. Yet, in a strange twist of history, the conquerors didn't erase China; they became Chinese.

We look at how a 2,000-year-long conversation between the Steppe and the Sown created a system where China’s culture was its ultimate weapon. Discover how the nomads won the war, but the civilization won the future. References & Sources Barfield, Thomas J. (1989). The Perilous Frontier: Nomadic Empires and China, 221 BC to AD 1757.
