Map of Qin China 221-209 BC |
|
In 221 BC the Qin controlled the entire former imperial territories of the north, plus the recently-incorporated Shu and Ba peoples, but expansion beckoned. To the north this was brief, largely constrained by the Qin construction of the Great Wall which would keep out the barbarians (shown here as a general border rather than specifying all of its different construction phases and locations). To the south, several campaigns were undertaken between 221-209 BC, with the coast being secured by 209 BC. This greatly increased the territory under imperial control.
