Why an empire??

I think that empires form to create balance in government. For example, china was in war for many years, and it was Qin dynasty that brought them together. Empires also form to expand. In India, the Maurya dynasty expanded to include all of India from the Himalayas to the Deccan plateu. This brought unityy to all those areas. Unity is important, because it gains power for the leader, and creates a stronger nation. With a stronger nation, an empire is able to conquer other people to expand their kingdom.
