Abstract
Through data analysis of four different types of wars, four conclusions can be drawn. Firstly, during the period of division, there are more wars competing for agency power. Secondly, under the unified system, there were many peasant uprising wars. During the period of unification, the state had more power to protect the people. Fourthly, few countries can withstand two types of wars simultaneously.
