China
then and China now
The
Qin dynasty started in 221 B.C and ended in 206 B.C. The map of the Qin dynasty
is approximately 1/6 the size of present day China. The Qin dynasty is located
on the East coast of China bordering the East China Sea. The capital city of
the Qin dynasty was Xianyang centrally located in the province. Xianyang is
where Emperor Qin ruled from. It is located on the Wei River. Xianyang became
the center of culture, politics, and banking for the Qin dynasty.
Qin
built the Great Wall of China to keep invaders from attacking from the north.
Qin conquered six other states during the Warring States Period. The Warring
States Period was a time when regional warlords invaded smaller states around
them and became more powerful.
China
has expanded in size to the largest country in the world. Its population is
over one billion people. China is governed by the Communist Party. China has
come a long way since the Qin dynasty.
