Through military defeat of the previous rulers

The Zhou dynasty came to rule a large part of China through military defeat of the previous rulers, the Shang dynasty. The Zhou dynasty's military forces overpowered the Shang rulers, allowing them to establish their own rule. This military conquest led to the Zhou dynasty becoming the new ruling power in China.
