From the Warring States to The Qin Dynasty

   






Before the Qin Dynasty(221 B.C. - 207 B.C.) there was a period called the Warring States Period or the Zhou Dynasty. In the Warring States Period there were twelve different states each with their own piece of land. Surrounding the states were the Di tribes, the Rong tribes, the Man tribes, and the Min tribes. To the East of the States were the Yellow Sea and the East China Sea. Qin had the biggest piece of land but that didn’t mean that it couldn’t be taken over. Xu and Cao had the smallest pieces of land. Each state wanted all of China to themselves so their was war. Qin was most dominant and effective and in the end Qin was successful in uniting China. When he united China Emperor Qin also conquered many tribes along the border of his Empire. When Qin united China he named Xianyang the capital.
