How many countries did the Shang Dynasty take over?

The Shang Dynasty, which ruled from around 1600 to 1046 BCE, primarily occupied parts of what is now modern-day China. It did not "take over" countries in the modern sense, as the concept of nation-states did not exist at that time. Instead, the Shang expanded their territory through conquest and established control over various regions and tribes within the Yellow River Valley. Their influence was mostly concentrated in eastern China, rather than extending across multiple distinct countries.
