CHAPTER THREE

THE QIN DYNASTY

From 770 to 221 BCE, during the rule of the Eastern Zhou dynasty, ancient China was divided into many small states. One of these states, the Qin, occupied the Wei River valley in the extreme northwestern area of the country. Beginning in the third century BCE, the Qin created a highly organized and powerful state. They gradually began to conquer their neighbors.

The map below shows the land ruled by China during the Qin dynasty as it compares to the modern boundaries of the Chinese state.
