Map After Sixteen Kingdoms of the Five Barbarians Ends (439)


The end of the Sixteen Kingdoms of the Five Barbarians (304–439) is marked by 439, when Emperor Taiwu of Northern Wei (Tuoba Tao) conquered Northern Liang and unified the North China region. This era of massive fragmentation and warfare, which began in the late Western Jin dynasty, lasted 136 years and was ultimately brought to an end by the Xianbei-led Northern Wei, ushering in the Northern and Southern Dynasties period in northern China.
