How long did the Han Dynasty last? How did it start and end?

Han Dynasty lasted from 206 BCE to 220 AD. It started when Liu Bang, prince of Han, defeated Qin army. It consisted of two dynasties: Western Han Dynasty(206 BCE to 24 AD) and Eastern Han Dynasty(25 AD to 220 AD). The Han Dynasty fell because of:
invaders from the northern part of China, political smuggles, the rich and poor gap, social problems, and food shortages, floods/droughts.

    1. No. The modern-day equivalent to how strict they were back then is being found guilty and executed because of jaywalking.
