Conquest of Shu by Wei

Years: 263 - 263

The Conquest of Shu by Wei is a military campaign launched by the state of Cao Wei against its rival Shu Han in 263 during the Three Kingdoms period of Chinese history.

The campaign culminates in the fall of Shu and the tripartite equilibrium maintained in China for over 40 years since the end of the Han Dynasty in 220.

The conquest signifies the beginning of a reunified China under the Jin Dynasty.

“What experience and history teach is that nations and governments have never learned anything from history."

―Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel, Lectures (1803)
