Hello, my name is Shi Huangdi and I am the man that is known to have unified China. I was born in the year 259 B.C., in the city of Handan, the capitol of Zhao. I was put on the throne as emporer at the tender age of 13, and I feel I ruled a thriving empire. You see, before this unification, many warring states were battling and killing each other, which I found unacceptable. So with the use of foot soldiers and iron weaponry I fixed this issue. One warring state by another was ended when my army conquered them, drove out nomads, and ended their battles. This process started in 221 B.C. Another act I created to unite china was to completely abolish and wipe out confuciunism, by killing confucionists, and burning their books. Also, I tried as much as I could to weaken noble families, and create highways and canals to link different regions in my dynasty by the use of peasants. A great feat that brings me great satisfaction am is China's great wall, which many of my prisoners and peasants worked on.
That is basically how i unified china, thank you for your time
Sincerely,
Shi Huangdi
