Failures of the Zhou: 1. King Li came to the throne, the state was in chaos. His rule was overthrown by the people and he was exiled. 2. Zhou Li Wang was a money grabber and eager for personal interest. He was also a cruel emperor that known to many history lovers. He controlled his people by strict rules and cruel regulations. 3. The Zhou leaders were weak leaders in the sense that they couldnt keep their own vassals from fighting one another. 4. During the last 200 years of its reign it was in a war more then a peaceful time. 5. The Kings, so called leaders, had very little power.
