About this document
Climate Shocks and Sino-Nomadic Conflict by Yingjia Zhu is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The document discusses how climate shocks like droughts and floods in ancient China correlated with conflicts between nomadic groups and settled agricultural Chinese communities over more than 2000 years. Droughts which reduced resources for nomadic herders likely caused them to invade neighboring agricultural areas for survival, while floods that increased resources decreased conflicts.
