Timeline of the Three Kingdoms period - wikipedia Timeline of the Three Kingdoms period Timeline of territorial changes during the Three Kingdoms period. See also : Timeline of the Han dynasty and Timeline of the Jin dynasty ( 265 -- 420 ) This is a timeline of the Three Kingdoms period ( 220 -- 280 ) of Chinese history. In a strict academic sense, the Three Kingdoms period refers to the interval between the founding of the state of Cao Wei ( 220 -- 266 ) in 220 and the conquest of the state of Eastern Wu ( 229 -- 280 ) by the Western Jin dynasty ( 265 -- 316 ) in 280. However, many Chinese historians and laymen extend the starting point of this period back to the Yellow Turban Rebellion that took place in 184 during the late Eastern Han Dynasty ( 25 -- 220 ).
