Short, but Sweet:



                                   The Qin Dynasty





                                        After the fall of the Zhou dynasty, the Qin

                                  (CHIN) dynasty took over.  This dynasty only lasted

                                 about 15 years.  But, it was a very important dynasty.
               Qin Shi
               Huang                The first emperor of China led during this dynasty.

                           Qin Shi Huang (CHIN SHE HWANG) was the first

            emperor.  He unified the country.  He brought the country together by
            ending the constant battles.  Qin now controlled all the regions of China.

                 Over the years, other leaders had built walls to protect China.

            Emperor Qin decided to connect these walls and make them larger.  This
            was the start of what would become the Great Wall of China.
