The Han, Qin and Zhou dynasties were all examples of the dynastic cycle, dynasties rising and falling.

One of the major reasons the Native Americans were affected by the European exploration was because the Europeans spread small pox and many other diseases to the Native Americans. Since the Natives have never been exposed to diseases they had no resistance and most of them died out. Also the Europeans threat was very direct to the natives.
