The ENTIRE History of China in 10 Minutes

From the First Emperor and his mercury pills in 221 BC to a six-year-old emperor stepping down in 1912, this is the whole story of imperial China in eight simple stories: the Terracotta Army, the Silk Road, a 1,300-year exam, gunpowder by accident, the first paper money, the Mongols, giant treasure ships and a giraffe, the Opium War and the last emperor. Every fact is checked, and legends are labelled as legends.
