CHINESE HISTORY 3 IBD

Sinopse

The Qin Dynasty (221 BCE -207 BCE) was the first dynasty to unify whole China. The dynasty originated from the Qin State during the Warring States Period. In 221 BC, Ying Zheng (嬴æö¿, king of the Qin State) defeated the rest of the six Warring States (Han, Zhao, Wei, Chu, Yan and Qi) successively and completed the great reunification of China. Subsequently, Ying Zheng became the first emperor of unified China. He called himself 'Qin Shi Huang' (纪åºïçÜç), meaning 'the First Qin Emperor' and ruled with an iron fist. This was the beginning of imperialism in China. In 210 BCE, Qin Shi Huang died of illness. Afterwards, the Qin Dynasty came to end within a few years.
