Qin Shi Huang became the King when he was only 13. Qin Shi Huang cracked down hard on rebellion with the other seven warring states and named himself "The Frist Emperor of China". He raised an army and conquered the other states taking advantage of times of weakness within those states. He was a heartless and harsh ruler towards those who chose to rebel against him. After unifying China the Qin Empire faced a recurring threat from nomadix’s. Qin ordered the construction of a defensive wall known now as the Great Wall of China by the use of slaves and criminals.
