*''Dates: [[265]]-[[317]]''
The Western Jin Dynasty unified China briefly during the [[Six Dynasties Period]].
It conquered the State of [[Cao Wei]] in [[265]], and then unified [[China proper]] in [[280]] by conquering the state of [[Eastern Wu]].
The Western Jin fell to a series of civil wars beginning in [[304]] and ending with the final end of the dynasty in [[317]]. The Western Jin capital of [[Luoyang]] fell to [[Xiongnu]] attackers in [[311]], and [[Chang'an]] in [[316]]. From that time forward, China was disunited for nearly three hundred years, until its reunification under the [[Sui Dynasty]] in [[589]].
