Original: The Khitan tribes were till a weak confederation, heavely defeated in 553 by Northern Qi who enslaved many khitan an seized a lare part of their livestocks,[5] naturally leading to harsh times for Khitans. By that time, the Khitan are still describe as the lower level of nomad civilization, their 'confederation' still being an anarchous system of isolated tribes, each tending his own sheep and horses and hunting on his private territory.[5] Some federal leader were create, after election, only in war time, when it really needed some, then becoming temporally a powerful local power.[6]

Modified: The Khitan tribes were a weak confederation, defeated in 553 A.D. by the Northern Qi Dynasty, who enslaved many Khitan people and seized a large part of their livestock. This naturally lead to harsh times for the Khitan people. In that time, the Khitan were in the lower level of nomad civilization, their 'confederation' still being an anarchic system of isolated tribes, each tending their own sheep and horses and hunting on their private territory. They really had no government, just a single leader. The leader was the leader by blood and birth. What the leader said, went. But, some federal leaders were created by election, only in war time, when they were really needed. This was so more men could help plan and delegate things so the leader would have less on his mind, thus making it so all his thoughts could be focused on war.
