Cao Wei (Chinese: 曹魏; Pinyin: Cáo Wèi; Wade-Giles: Ts'ao Wei) was one of the regimes that competed for control of China during the Three Kingdoms period. It was established by Cao Cao, who become the most powerful military leader in northern and central China. After 213, Cao Cao's feudal holdings were given the name Wei; historians often add the prefix Cao (from Cao Cao's family name) to distinguish it from the other states in Chinese history also known as Wei, such as the earlier State of Wei during the Warring States Period, and the later Northern Wei state. In 220, when Cao Cao's son deposed the last emperor of the Han Dynasty, Wei became the name of the new dynasty he founded.
