The history of King Wu's conquest of Zhou was called " King Wu's conquest of Zhou."
King Wu conquered King Zhou in 1046 B.C. At this time, King Wu and Jiang Ziya thought that the time had come. They united the vassal states and led the army across the Yellow River from Mengjin to Muye, the outskirts of Zhaoge, to start the decisive battle. This war was regarded as a war that would topple the entire country, because King Zhou of Shang had already exhausted all his national strength, while King Wu of Zhou had obtained the support of all the vassal states. In the Battle of Muye, the Shang army was defeated, and King Zhou set himself on fire in Lutai. The Shang Dynasty was finally destroyed. Therefore, it could be said that the timing of King Wu's attack on King Zhou of Shang was under the circumstances where King Zhou's national strength was weak and all the vassal states joined forces to support him.
After King Wu conquered King Zhou, he established the Zhou Dynasty.
After King Wu conquered King Zhou, he did not confer the title of King Shang. After King Wu destroyed the Shang Dynasty, he first granted the son of King Zhou, Wu Geng, to the old capital of the Shang Dynasty. Later, Wu Geng rebelled and was executed. King Cheng of Zhou also granted Wei Ziqi, the brother of King Zhou, the capital of Song City (now Shangqiu, Henan Province) in order to worship the ancestors of the Shang Dynasty. Therefore, King Wu did not confer the title of King Shang, but the title of King Zhou's descendant.
The reason why King Wu conquered Zhou was related to climate change. At the end of the Shang Dynasty, the climate became dry, affecting the Rong Di and Zhou tribes in the north. In order to survive, the Rong Di tribe kept invading the Zhou tribe. At the same time, due to the dry climate, the people of Zhou also began to move their capital from the northwest to the southeast. After settling down in the Fenghao area, the strength of the Zhou people developed rapidly. However, the climate was still dry, and the people of Zhou often faced famine. These factors together prompted King Wu to launch the war against King Zhou.
