Dynastic Cycle
New dynasty comes to power with support of the people and the Mandate of Heaven.
The new dynasty experiences a period of prosperity and peace.
The dynasty ages and becomes corrupt, raises taxes and oppression. Possibly natural disasters occur.
As a result of these events, the dynasty is seen to have lost the Mandate of Heaven.
Revolution becomes justified, and a new family claims to have received the Mandate and fights the old dynasty.Slide34
