TIME PERIOD
By 221 B.C., a man by the name of Qin had overthrown all remaining
members of the Zhou Dynasty, and all other opposition, allowing him to
place himself as the ruler of China. The Qin Dynasty would only last about
11 years. Yet, during these short years, this dynasty would make changes
that would affect the history of China for thousands of years. So influential
was Qin, that the name of the nation, China, is a derivative of his name.
In order to show his importance and power, Qin added a new name to his
own. He began calling himself Qin Shihuangdi, which means Qin, the first
emperor of China.
Qin Shihuangdi again reorganized the affairs of China. Instead of a system
of noblemen, Qin wanted everything to be under his direct authority and
control. He established a strict set of written laws that were recognized
throughout China, and set up military control in each region of China so
that local noblemen could not rebel against the emperor.
