Why were there so many wars in ancient China｜China History

After King Zhou Ping moved his capital, the most exciting era of the Spring and Autumn period and the Warring States period began. This was an era of great intellectual explosion. Due to the decline of the Zhou Dynasty, the various lords were no longer restrained by the royal court. They had power, land, and armies. The era of the central government was over, and a new era had begun. The balance was broken, and wars began. The weaker lords wanted to expand their territories and strengthen their power, while the stronger lords wanted more land and armies. Every lord was developing their military power, because with war comes the need to survive, and to survive, one must develop.
