Was one of the Five Dynasties during the period of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms in China.
Establishment
March 947: The Khitan force, after conquering the later jin state, made it all the way to the Yellow River before the emperor decided to return to his base in present-day Beijing, in the heart of the contentious Sixteen Prefectures. However, following constant harassment from the Chinese on the return route, he died of an illness in May 947. The combination of the fall of the Later Jin and the succession crisis among the Khitan resulted in a power vacuum. Liu Zhiyuan was able to fill that void and founded the Later Han.
