To match the descriptions to the countries in which the civilizations developed, let's analyze each description:
1. "The Silla defeated two other kingdoms to unite the country under their rule for centuries." This description matches Korea, as the Silla Kingdom in Korea defeated the Baekje and Goguryeo Kingdoms to unify the Korean Peninsula during the Three Kingdoms period.
2. "The Sui built the Grand Canal uniting the northern and southern parts of the country, but the Tang soon took control." This description matches China. The Sui Dynasty in China was responsible for constructing the Grand Canal, which connected the Yellow and Yangtze Rivers, effectively uniting the north and south regions of the country. However, the Tang Dynasty succeeded the Sui Dynasty and took control of China.
3. "A nominal emperor ruled the empire, but warring shoguns competed for power for centuries." This description matches Japan. In Japan, the country was ruled by an emperor, who held a symbolic role but had limited political power. However, the real political authority was in the hands of the shoguns, who were military commanders and governed different regions of Japan. These shoguns often engaged in power struggles with one another.
So, the matches are as follows:
China - The Sui built the Grand Canal uniting the northern and southern parts of the country, but the Tang soon took control.
Japan - A nominal emperor ruled the empire, but warring shoguns competed for power for centuries.
Korea - The Silla defeated two other kingdoms to unite the country under their rule for centuries.
