Map A. China Under the Qin Dynasty


This interactive map demonstrates the establishment of the Qin Dynasty as the primary empire in China by 221 B.C.E. For more than six hundred years, Chou China had been a collection of decentralized states under the rule of one king. By 480, the king had lost almost all of his power and the Period of the Warring States began. For more than two hundred years, the stronger Zhou states absorbed weaker ones and, eventually, only one was left. That state, under which all of China would be united, was Qin.
