    The dynasties had strong military with lots of successful military campaign and which ones were weak.

    The Zhou dynasty overthrew the Shang Dynasty and used the Mandate of Heaven as a justification.

    In 1046 BC, the Zhou, a fellow who lived in the western part of the kingdom, overthrew the Shang dynasty at the Battle of Muye. This was a battle between the Shang and Zhou clans over the expansion of Shang. They were largely supported by the Chinese people: Di Xin (the last king of the Shang dynasty) had become cruel, spent state money on drinking and gambling and ignored the state. The Zhou established authority by forging alliances with regional nobles and founded their new dynasty with their capital in Fenghao (near present-day Xi'an in western China).
