The Han dynasty extended China's territory into [[Vietnam]] and [[Korea]]. This was the most significant [[dynasty]] in China, comparable with the [[Pax Romana]] of [[Roman Empire|Rome]] - a time of general peace.

The Han Dynasty developed the famous [[Silk Road]], which allowed trade even as far away as the Roman Empire.
