Answers
Answer:
The Warring States Period (475–221 BC) was an era of division in ancient China. After the relatively peaceful and philosophical Spring and Autumn Period, various states were at war before the Qin state conquered them all, and China was reunited under the Qin Dynasty.
Explanation:
It was the last of three periods of the Zhou Dynasty era (1046–221 BC): Western Zhou Dynasty, Spring and Autumn Period (771–476 BC), Warring States Period
States declared independence from the Zhou Dynasty, and kingdoms fought for territory, during this period.
By 334 BC there were 7 warring states: Qin, Chu, Zhao, Wei, Han, Yan, and Qi.
The Warring States Period ended with Qin's conquest of the other states.
It was succeeded by the Qin Dynasty in 221 BC, which marked the transition between ancient China and Imperial China.
