Ancient China was filled with conflict in the Three Kingdoms. Wars and violence was abundant between the Wu, Wei, and Shu Kingdoms. There were intense rivalries among the kingdoms for the control of China. However, the rivalries did not only bring competition in war, but also competition with the wealth and economic status of each kingdom. Many inventions and advancements were created and designed during the era of the Three Kingdoms. Therefore, the ever-lasting conflict and rivalries in the Three Kingdoms period was beneficial to the growth within China. Each kingdom was competing with each other to become superior in military and economic strength. Innovation was a lead topic within the kingdoms, along with war.
Even though the conflict arisen between the Three Kingdoms almost isolated them from the outside world, it gave each kingdom a motivation to be superior to the other. There were a multitude of battles within China between the Wu, Wei, and Shu Kingdoms. This caused many military inventions to be created. One of these such inventions was the repeating cross-bow, a wider example of the general cross-bow that can shoot up to ten arrows with one pull of the trigger (The Greatest Inventor). Many advancements in government and the economy were made also. For example, the Shu Kingdom created a government ruled by law with strict social order and shipbuilding was greatly increased (The Three Kingdoms). These two advancements prove that the conflict and rivalries between the kingdoms improved growth within China.
