Detailed explanation-1: -End of the Qin Dynasty In two years time, most of the empire had revolted against the new emperor, creating a constant atmosphere of rebellion and retaliation. Warlord Xiang Yu in quick succession defeated the Qin army in battle, executed the emperor, destroyed the capital and split up the empire into 18 states.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Qin dynasty’s policies were strictly legalistic, relying on harsh laws and punishments to control the population. The dynasty ultimately fell because the Chinese people resented the Qin’s harsh rule and overthrew the dynasty after Shihuangdi died.
Detailed explanation-3: -Upon the First Emperor’s death, China plunged into civil war, exacerbated by floods and droughts. In 207 BCE, Qin Shi Huang’s son was killed, and the dynasty collapsed entirely.
